Compared to the Presidential Election spread of Trump/Hillary -- he only got 1% more than Hillary got....

I mean, this after all was an election about Trump right?

which is 100% more than you or I got, so what

this wasn't Trump versus Hillary, this was an election for a %100 safe GOP Seat that should never even be close to be Blue. This is one of the reason Price got the job because his seat was a "gimme" for the GOP. Was

Ok....true, I'll grant you that point.

All I was saying is - they spent $12M to only move the needle by 1% over the Presidential election split -- seems like a waste of time and money.....

It's all good -- we can call it a defeat of Trump.....if that makes everyone happy.

I don't dislike posts when someone is trying to make a point -- that's what this is supposed to be. So no need to dislike this post of Jon's -- his information is valid. He just misunderstood what I was trying to say. So, no need to dislike this.....these are the kind of posts that make these threads better.

Republicans were the ones that redrew the lines. You actually think they would do that to give themselves less of an advantage? That's huge if true! Trump level 4D chess stuff right there.

I mean, you could always just listen to what the GOP says about that particular redistricting:

At a GOP breakfast on the district’s eastern DeKalb outskirts, state Sen. Fran Millar criticized Democrats who think it’s a “done deal that this kid’s [Ossoff] going to become the Congressman.”

“I’ll be very blunt: These lines were not drawn to get Hank Johnson’s protégé to be my representative. And you didn’t hear that,” said Millar. “They were not drawn for that purpose, OK? They were not drawn for that purpose.”

Sen. Fran Miller doesn't know what he is talking about. We need to give him CajunCrimson's contact info so he can get schooled on Georgia politics.

Pfsh, I doubt Miller lives in the 6th district either. What does he know?

It is "fun" watching a microcosm of the death throes of America play out in all of these threads as each team tries to ra-ra their party over everything mentalities.

Also in the inevitible civil war I'll go ahead and apologize if I'm stuck torturing any of you. I was just following orders.
