Alt-Left Democrat Loses in Georgia : $8 Million Wasn't Enough

The question now is how many more million will be pored into this race by the progressive socialist liberal democrats to try and prove a point, that progressive liberal democrats aren't losers based on what they believe to be the truth.

For progressive socialist liberal democrats, ideology is enough.

And the progressive socialist liberals pumped in more then $8 million dollars into this campaign to get this alt-left radical liberal into congress, and he gets only 48% of the democrat votes? How did he lose after so much money and Hollywood stars coming out of the fever swamp to trot out their ideology of hate for Trump and the American civil society thinking this would be a winning strategy.

Yikes! But it IS the reason why they lose elections. It is their narrative of centralized power in Washington as the answer to all problems explains why the new awakened public to this progressive socialists view has rejected the democrat agenda and ideology.

Medical professionals in the mental health field are puzzled as to why so many people can be persuaded to believe something so obviously false as the narrative from democrats that individual freedom and liberty are outdated and unproductive.

The ideology of progressive socialism doesn't, work and after 8 years of absolute corruption and ideological deceit from Barack and his religious jihad for ''fundamental change and transformation of American civil society'', the people now want truth, integrity and honor to drive the agenda in Washington.

Anti-Trump Democrat Falls Short in Georgia Election. Here’s What Comes Next.
Rachel del Guidice / @LRacheldG / April 19, 2017   

Two candidates, Republican Karen Handel and Democrat Jon Ossoff, will compete in a runoff election in June after failing to garner 50 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s special election in Georgia’s 6th District. The contenders in Tuesday’s jungle primary included 11 Republicans, five Democrats, and two independents. Voters will head back to the polls on June 20 to determine the winner between the top vote-getters.

Ossoff, who finished with 48 percent of the vote, is a former congressional aide and a filmmaker, while Handel, the top Republican in the field with 20 percent, previously served as Georgia’s secretary of state. In November, Donald Trump won Georgia’s 6th District by fewer than 2 percentage points. The seat opened in February when Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., was confirmed as secretary of health and human services.

Price’s seat has been held by Republicans for nearly 40 years since former House Speaker Newt Gingrich won it in 1978.  In 2016, Price won re-election with about 60 percent of the vote.

Ossoff, the Democrat, ran on a platform that included calls for health care reform, civil rights, provisions for environmental protection, and support for Planned Parenthood. “Washington right now is at its most divisive, most dangerous, most potentially destructive place in modern American history,” Ossoff said in a campaign ad. “This is our first chance to make a statement about who we are and what we stand for.”

Ossoff, who grew up in Georgia’s 6th District, does not currently reside in the area he is running to represent, The Washington Post reports.  “I’ve been living with my girlfriend, Alicia, for 12 years now down by Emory University where she’s a full-time medical student,” Ossoff said. “As soon as she concludes her medical training, I’ll be 10 minutes back up the street in the district where I grew up.”

Handel, the Republican, ran on a platform that included calls to repeal and replace Obamacare, support for pro-life issues, as well as backing “a simpler, fairer, tax code that promotes economic growth” and “securing our borders.” Trump did not endorse any of the 11 Republican candidates, but did ask voters to oppose Ossoff.

Trump also recorded a robocall that warned voters of the implications of an Ossoff win.
“Only you can stop the super liberal Democrats and Nancy Pelosi’s group, and in particular, Jon Ossoff,” Trump said. “If you don’t vote … Ossoff will raise your taxes, destroy your health care, and flood our country with illegal immigrants.”

Trump does not see the Georgia race as a “referendum” on his presidency, White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday, The Washington Post reports.
“I wouldn’t use the word referendum.” Sanders said. “I think [Trump] hopes to have a Republican elected to that seat, and hopefully it will be someone to follow in Tom Price’s footsteps and be a leader from that district.”

A Georgia political operative told The Daily Signal in an interview that “Georgia is still a red state, despite Democrats hoping it will turn blue.” “Trying to say this is going to be some bellwether for future House races is a stretch,” the operative added. “Democrats have tried to use that narrative unsuccessfully before.”

The operative explained that it is common practice in Georgia for Democrat voters to rally around a single Democrat candidate, while Republican voters prefer to choose from a large pool of candidates.
“Democrats coalesced around their candidate pretty early, and what Republicans tend to do in Georgia is the opposite,” the operative said. “We always have a very diverse field.”
