Handel will squeak out a win. And for that we can say, “Thanks Kathy!”

Nothing like politicizing the baseball shooting. Complete f*cking assholes. If you really want to be sick to your stomach, check out Chris Collins piece in WaPo. Big brave man puts forth his pathetic reasoning for why he should carry a gun daily.

Well I said this on another thread but it belongs here: If the GOP has to rely on the near fatal shooting of a Congressman to hold onto a deep red district then they are in deep deep trouble.

Ahhhhhhhhh…bless their ratfkin’ little hearts. They’d rather elect a known bigot who singlehandedly almost destroyed KOMAN with her nastiness than tell the friggin’ truth. Ever. Pigs.

broad anti-Trump sentiment in the district, including that 35 percent approval rating.
Stuck between an electorate that mostly doesn’t like Trump and a party base that loves the guy, Handel has been forced to tiptoe across a thread-thin Trump high wire. That has meant sticking like glue to the conservative methods and messages that have been winning the district since 1974 and ignoring everything else, including the fact that Trump is the president.

“Principled PAC”?
Guess we know what those principles are now.

Odds are good that he will too - the odds are actually in favor of it.

It is not just an “unaffiliated PAC” that is getting so disgusting and ridiculous. The RNC is publishing and tweeting like mad against Ossoff, including the kitchen sink.
Very telling that "I do not support a livable wage” Handel did not condemn the ad herself, and call for it to be taken down. One might think this would surely turn a lot of voters off, though it is red district Georgia…

I know. And funny thing about those facts and statistics … Repubs don’t care. And worse, they know that the more ignorant of their gun freak followers will never learn about them. Conned, yet again.

So they say.
IF y’all don’t know by now that the GOP says a lot of shit publicly that they don’t say privately…
They know he broke the law. Most of them don’t like him either. They know we need gun regs, but they won’t do it for political and financial reasons. Doesn’t mean they don’t really believe the facts and the odds. Watch them privately ignore what they say publicly.

Republicans don’t play ball, or play nice, with others.

Their followers are mostly made up of the ignorant and the greedy. Which means we need better education and better regulations on money in politics. Both of which are not going to happen and are in fact, being set back daily. I have to say, that all things considered, Dems are putting up a damn good fight right now. We are holding them back a bit.

Actually we are. Someone posted a link yesterday to a piece that lists all of our victories since he took office and we are fighting a good fight and we are not losing all the time by any stretch.

I seriously doubt that even Trump’s base buys any of that nonesense about Dems. not giving Trump a chance. As dumb as they are, they know the GOP controls the House, the Senate and the Presidency. They may not blame Trump for his own failures, but they will hold the GOP as responsible. I’ve already noticed that even among those who SAY the Dems. are the problem there’s no passsion behind that statement.

Yeah, I found that perplexing too. Moderates and Indies dislike PP almost as much as Democrats hate him. But I guess it’s true that you should never underestimate the power of Republican delusion.
