Dem Jon Ossoff spends more than twice what ALL Republicans spent on GA special election, still loses

[Little-Acorn]

One major Democrat candidate (Jon Ossoff) went up against eleven Republicans for a Congressional seat in Georgia, vacated when President Trump picked the former congressman for his cabinet.

The Democrat was backed almost entirely by Hollywood millionaires, who sent him $millions, ran ads for him, etc.

Despite their lopsided spending advantage, Dems were hoping that the election would be a "referendum on the Donald Trump election"

And it was. Despite spending more than twice what all the Republicans spent combined, the Democrat candidate still lost.

He was hoping to get more than 50% of the vote, while Republicans split the Republican vote among 11 candidates. But he failed. Now there will be a runoff election in June, between the Democrat Ossoff and the top Republican finisher, which the Republican candidate Handel will win easily.

The Democrats were right about one thing: The election was a referendum on Donald Trump's election. Democrats can't win even when they are backed by big-money interests from outside the state.

Democrats begin to wonder: When do we win?

For all the roiling anger and energy at the grass roots, the party still fell short in Georgia and Kansas. And Democratic prospects in upcoming elections aren't promising.

As it became clear late Tuesday evening that Jon Ossoff would fall just short of the 50-percent mark in the first round of voting in a suburban Atlanta special election, Democrats back in Washington started leafing through their calendars and asking: When does the winning start?

This is just so funny! Wish Hollywood libs would spend money on charity instead of trying to manipulate free elections.

The guy came off like a Shyster Evangelist, arrogant young kvetch. Dems never learned negative ads=negative consequences.
He ran a campaign against Trump and not the opponent and nothing of value to the district he's not even from. Furthermore him and the Liberal media are inadvertantly admiting their party failures by pointing out issues with Trump that are actually the Dem party fault and sabotages. The lack of taking and accepting blame is not gonna work, displaced blame turns off the intelligent people they were hoping to sway.

Spent double the money, and got well more than double the votes of the leading GOP candidate. Not a bad investment.

Samuel Jackson's ad didn't even mention Ossoff by name.

See how you spin the narative with fake news? The GOP candidate split votes with 11 candidates, so double is actually bad it should have been more then triple for you

Rather impressive when you consider he was in newtie's district, which the republicans have held since 1979.

We're so divided at this point, I wonder if money spent on ads even matters.

The people in that district basically want to bring back slavery and execute all foreigners. The GOP should have gotten over 90% of the vote. To barely break 50% with 11 candidates running is humiliating.

I get so happy when I see sad snowflakes.

His name could of been "Richard Assman" and he still would of gotton 48%

I hear he'll be almost that impressive when he runs (as one Democrat) against one republican in June.

Yup. Typically, all a republican has to do to win 70% of the vote there is call MLK a terrorist and say we should invade Iran. Trump's failures are hitting them hard.

We'll see. Clearly he is running in a heavily republican favored district which has been held by republicans since 1979.

And Ossoff kicked the shit out of the GOP opposition: just fucked them up.

Now let's see how much more he spends for the final election.

it's a bad investment when all but one of those GOP candidates goes off the ballot in the next round.

The goal was to reach 50%, it wasn't met.

Now lets see if the DNC doubles down or not.
