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

[DigitalDrifter]

The Hollywoof elite money will return for the next round.

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?

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?

what it continues to prove is that throwing money at something is not productive.

 

[martybegan]

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.

Stop trying to create your own reality. He didn't get the 50% he and his supporters were aiming for to prevent a runoff.

He lost.

I don't get how they figure they'll get more votes? I'm perplexed by the stupid that is a libturd.

 

[martybegan]

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

it energizes a side's base. Since Dems are the "angry party" now, their job is easier.

They should be looking less at this as a chance at 1 house seat, and more realize that even with 1) Anger 2) More $$ and 3) a divided opposition they still didn't get the 50% they were counting on.

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

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.

They shouldn't. Let the little deplorables down there keep fighting to bring back the 1860's.

More Soros cash flushed down the toilet. I love it.

How is this a loss?

They spent a ton of $$ in the first round and didn't get to 50%. They could have spent far less and gotten to the run-off.

So the DNC spent tons of money to be part of a run-off? He was going to be in the run-off regardless.

Seems to me it's a little early for them to make any assumptions about either Trump or 2018, but I can see why they'd want to create the momentum as soon as possible. So, they'll do the regular partisan thing - spin everything into a victory of some kind.

their expectation was to win in that vote and only that vote. they'll be gone. he's now tainted.

 

[bodecea]

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

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

Wait....how is he allowed to run in June if, as you claim, he lost?

As for myself....I look forward to a few more months of the so-called president making a fool of himself and the GOP.

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
to comment. =busted!

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.

.And it's insulting reverse racist comments like that which show desperation and insult to the intelligence of the voters..
You just proved my points,
Dems don't get it, that cry racism and Xenophobia ploy is not working for yas.
