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

[TheOldSchool]

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?

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