    How the Navy destroyer collision could have happened and the seven seamen who died.

    Whoever wins the 6th District is meaningless to either party. The differences between the candidate’s positions are meaningless in the big picture.

    If Ossoff wins, he’ll oppose Pres. Trump’s agenda and demand more investigations.

    If Handel wins, she’ll be like the rest of Paul Ryan’s DC Republican cabal and will work tirelessly to stop Pres. Trump’s agenda and impanel more investigations into the Trump administration.

    The Democrats will survive a loss in the GA6 just fine. On the other hand, the Republicans may not survive a win since they will have to wait till the mid-terms to find out their constituents are pissed off about the path they are on.

      I’m not being sarcastic. So my answer is YES!

      What have the Republicans accomplished toward Pres. Trump’s priorities or even Republican party platform issues? NADA!

      The Republicans control both houses and they can’t or WON’T advance Republican issues. Its as if the DC Democrats and Republicans belong to the same UNIPARTY, whose priority is ever bigger government and receiving Chamber of Commerce payoffs.

      PS-I do think Handel will win by 5%

    “They can’t take a loss.”

    Actually, they can. Like I’ve been pointing out since Price got confirmed, the test always was whether the district is performing like one where Clinton and Trump essentially tied, or was it performing like a place where Obama, Nunn, Carter, Barnes, and the various ‘some dudes’ who faced Price couldn’t crack 40%. (And, of course, it’s not just about resources: Barnes, Carter and Nunn spent plenty in Georgia, and the best any of them did in GA-06 was Nunn’s 38%). Unless something really weird happens tomorrow, the answer, based on Round 1 and the polls, is that it’s performing like it did on the Presidential level. And that has broad implications for enough GOP incumbents in Romney to Clinton districts to potentially flip the House in 2018, even in races that don’t cost $40 million each.

      There are 20 GOP House districts where Clinton received more votes than Trump.

      Maybe Mike Pence’s investigation into the millions of fraudulent votes will undermine that. Except that the frauds hated Trump but loved the GOP downballot. Seriously, incumbency is a big advantage, and GA-6 results won’t do anything to clarify how much so.

      On the other hand, the GOP controls government but can’t govern, which is something incumbents are supposed to know how to do. Six years of control of the House and the only significant thing the House has produced is a “mean” steaming pile christened ACHA that it turned over to the Senate. Mitch is trying to figure a way to bag the poop and return it, so they can move onto tax cuts for the rich.
