CNN Reacts to Ossoff’s Humiliating Loss

What's with claiming not to be Democrats now? There's a couple of you on this forum.... you defend the party to the end, but now you want to distance yourself from the label?

The Republicans call themselves Republicans. The Independents call ourselves Independents. But now we have pockets of Democrats saying they're not Democrats, or even claiming to be Republicans. Weird, but whatever!

 

Conservatives don't believe their own lying eyes. It's actually quite funny to watch the denial in this thread by righties, but give them hundreds of sources, boatload of evidence, and they refuse to believe Trump colluded with the Russians no matter how many time Trump tells them his staff had no contacts with them.

None, zero.

 

Why don't you show everyone how concerned I was with one of my posts from several weeks ago?

 

Why not show everyone the post where I proclaimed to be a Democrat?

 

Independents are usually Republicans who are embarrassed to admit in print they are Republicans.

 

It is ONE seat, One.

Do you want to do the math: how much influence ONE seat has in a House
with 435 seats?

Now that is like have four rolls and most of another of pennies in your pocket
and saying one penny is important.

And this would be a MINOR seat, a minor penny because the winner would be
the LEAST important of the 435 pennies.

Did the Democrats want to have a Democrat another Democrat penny?

Yes.

But they knew this district has had forty five years of electing Republican pennies.

 

The concession speech wasn't enough for you?

You expected maybe hari kari?

 

4 points is humiliating? I'd call a 26 point drop from the last win a bit more humiliating than a Democrat not being able to pull off an upset in a deep deep red district.

 

The Rasmussen was the most accurate major poll predicting the outcome of the presidential election.

The DP polls are just fundraising tools that lose elections for Democrats.

“Democrats aren’t ready to prescribe remedies yet, but officials at the national party committees are sending strong signals that they plan to hold pollsters to a higher standard in the upcoming midterm elections. Rep. Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico, who is chairing the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for the second consecutive election cycle, ruffled feathers last month when he suggested that “unreliable pollsters will not be invited back to the DCCC.”

A committee spokeswoman, Meredith Kelly, clarified last month that pollsters’ reliability isn’t just going to be determined by their 2016 results, but also by their willingness to participate in a DCCC-driven effort to test various polling methods.

“It’s more about unreliable data combined with an unwillingness to do better and to learn from that,” said Kelly, the DCCC’s communications director. “That’s when we’ll stop working with people.” POLITICO, Democrats burned by polling blind spot, By STEVEN SHEPARD 03/27/17.

Many smart DP leaders are catching on.

 

ONE seat can be the one that gives you the majority. Influence?

 

As I told all the other Dims in this thread who are throwing out this canard...................apples and oranges.

The last election was a long-time, popular incumbent. This was a special election with two relatively unknowns.

Do you even have any idea what the reelection rate for Congress is?

 

The Democrat Polling "blind spot" is still losing elections for the DP. It has been doing that fpr more than 4 major election cycles and now for 4 special elections since 11/16 epic DP loss to Trump.

“The first evidence of the party’s polling blind spot surfaced in a governor’s race, the 2015 contest in Kentucky. Both public and private polls going into the election showed Democrat Jack Conway and Republican Matt Bevin running neck-and-neck — Conway had a 3-point lead in the final RealClearPolitics average — but Bevin won by a comfortable, 9-point margin.” …

“We projected Clinton to lose Ohio by 200,000 votes,” said Hagner, “and she lost by 450,000.”
Democrats’ polling problems might not only be voters hiding their intentions from pollsters — some voters may have been hiding altogether.

That bias against responding covers a number of different elements, including geography. One top Democratic strategist who requested anonymity to discuss candidly what went wrong with the 2016 polls pointed to difficulty in reaching voters in more rural districts because of spotty cellphone service.

The same strategist added that many of these voters also may choose not to participate in polls “because they don’t like the establishment and they don’t want to take a survey.”

The DP leadership is in full 3 monkey denial mode, and the big denial crocodiles are eating the DP for lunch.

 

Yes and that would be a relevant comment if Handel had not been outspent 6 to 1 by Hollywood and east coast lefties. And if pajama boy Ossoff had not had the full throated support of the whole MSM working for him 24/7.

 

Let's see: a Republican elected after a Republican after a Republican and so on
and so forth for over 45 years would seem that this is a Republican district.

Before you checked the registration and see that it is a Republican district.

So Trump picks someone and not only is his pick a Republican, but he wants
to not lose the seat his pick holds, so what does he do?

 

Funny I can still remember Obama as a Democrat.

 

Funny, you only count the money Handel spent and not the money Handel and all her Republican
PACs spent but you compare it to all the money the Democrats and their PACs spent.

Republicans spent a little more.

Which... in the end... was what the Democrats wanted.

 

Yes, Obama ran well against Democrats like The Clintons, McCain and Romney.
What did Obama do for the rest of the DP candidates after 2008?

 

I remember Obama opposed homosexual marriage. Just like Hillary. You don't think they were lying just to get normal people to vote for them, do you?
Nooooooo. Obama never lied . He PROMISED we could keep our plans too.

 

I wouldnt admit it either.

 

Why don't you show everyone where I said I was a Democrat?

Hint: I'm not a Democrat.

 

Looks like he picked this district to goad the Dims into wasting tens of millions of dollars on a lost cause.

Worked well.

 

Looks like he picked a Rub from a Rub district because he wanted another Rub
reelected.

 

Rubs spent over $25M to regain a seat they already had.

 

Really? He wanted to keep the seat Republican? You are like some sort of political genius.

 

Your numbers are off, but at least the money wasn't wasted like the Dim money.
