Today voters in the 6th district of Georgia went to the polls in greater numbers than ever before to vote for a replacement for former Congressman Tom Price who is now the head of Health and Human Services. More money was spent on this Congressional race than any Congressional district ever, more than $50 million with $26.2 million coming from outside interests.
Many media sources, including the Washington Post, said this election would be a referendum on Trump’s Presidency. According to the left, this election would prove how many of Trump’s voters regret their vote. Now it appears Republican Karen Handel wins easily, by 5%. The NY Times is has declared Handel the winner as has the Washington Post and the Washington Times.

The Democrat Party is the socialist welfare state party. When working Americans have had enough of the leftist grievance politics, they have no where to go but the right.
The Democrat didn’t win AND that is $23 million that Dems won’t have to spend on other races so double good.
Glad we won, but alarmed at the amount of money that gets vaporized in elections. What a waste of capital.
Congratulations. Now, get to work and insist fewer of those long long long long ‘vacations’ and ‘breaks’ that Congress GIVES itself at the public’s expense. ALSO be sure to DECLINE the gold-plated health care that Congress gets … again at the public’s expenses! … and be sure to get only the level and quality of health care that your poorest constituents get? How ’bout that sweet taters? Can you do that taters?
I would rather they not be working all that hard, thank you very much. When they “work, we get screwed.
So, you want them
1. not to work much
but
2. get paid very well … at tax payers expense
3. get gold-plated health care, and other benefits … at tax payers expense
4. get be-jeweled perks, privilege, and access to secret goodies …. at tax payers expense
THAT, sir, madam, them (whatever your gender or non gender identity may be) …. makes you a supporter of a Corrupt, Entitled Oligarchy.
Do you throw your table scraps out the peasants, too? And donate your ‘nice’ gently used toilet tissue to the elderly poor?
Its ma’am to you:-P
And yes… when the alternative is them going all bipartisan and making our lives far more difficult, I will choose paying them outrageous sums to do nothing every time.
Well, that is lovely, ma’am. Do you donate the gently used poo poo tissue or just the gently used pee pee paper?
Mean while, Mitch McConnell has a small group of hand picked lobbyists huddled in some small, dark, corner, in the Capitol. These lobbyist have been assigned the sole task to screw the s–t out anyone who is or mite get sick.
As I said when they work hard, we get screwed.
What is really funny is the media and Trump like to talk about how Obamacare is failing.
Well, this country is failing. Why are the media and Trump not concerned about that?
We pay over $320 billion per year in interest on our $20 Trillion debt. Our citizens do not even have access to healthcare, not because Obamacare is failing, because the whole healthcare system failed us.
I say let Obamacare fail and let US come up with our own individual solutions. The government will just screw us further with their “fixes”.
Also doctors and patients are already finding work arounds. Search “direct primary care” or “doctors who do not accept insurance”.
The problem for Democrats is the same as its been, they just don’t have a message for average people.
Average people just don’t give a crap about identity politics. Sure, when you’re living in the city and your biggest issue in life is that you once witnessed someone say harsh words to your favorite coffee shop barista liberal identity politics makes sense, but does your average factory worker really give a *#$@ ?
Nope.
The popularity of Obama hid a multitude of sins within the Democratic party, not the least of which was their pushing all the nonsense that their moonbats believe as gospel. They simply can’t, and won’t, entertain the idea that the average person in Ohio doesn’t care about slutwalks.
A referendum on Trump? Soon the Americanism Trump supporter like myself will no longer support him for he is not true to his word ( one of the 3 , Jose has been moved to Roanoke city jail for convenience ).
Campaign Trump ” they are all going home”.
Then Trump meets with Obama and suddenly he becomes the foster parent to DACA even stating ;
“they are near and dear to my heart”.
In the primary Jeanine stated ;
” we need a plan” in response to Trump’s American support.
Trump still stood and won , it was Americanism, now he is not American with DACA.
Myself as a homebuilder the majority of my sub contractors do work on a handshake , integrity.
Builder Trump did not keep his word.
Now we have;
Papa DACA.
He used the art of the deal on his voters and now I am supposed to Fall in line and vote for Jeb Gillespie?
First time shame on you , the second time shame on me. There will be no second time. A man’s word is everything , it is a test of his integrity.
No Jeb Gillespie, he has no policy.
Can’t wait to see the spin in the tabloid Washington Post in the morning. Worth the subscription. 😂😂😂
“Anger at Trump Rattles Reliably Republican Stronghold”.
Haha, which democrat rags came out with all these hilarious headlines? Georgia 6th has been a Republican district and still is, no matter how they try to spin it.
Actually it was redistricted into what the Dems thought would be a toss-up district.
“$50 million spent on Congressional Race, Republican only wins by 5 points”.
“Record Turnout in Ga Race Fueled by Anger at Trump”.
Anger obviously greatly misplaced or overly hyped, they list. #Winning
Anger at Trump obviously misplaced or overly hyped, they lost. #Winning
Hahaha
To Georgia! Yeah! I’m in such a good mood, I’m not even going to make fun of Ed. This is what we can do when we stick to our conservative values. Can’t see to hear Trump’s tweet.
So much for the liberal referendum on Trump! Bernie loses again!
Don’t gloat too much .
Remember the story Zach had written last fall about the Oilers? Reference to blowing the lead, he is so right, so right. I think the Va. Republicans , Conservatives , moderates and non gutter dwellers nominated Warren Moon.
