The party more or less closes the door on pro-gun and pro-life candidates by keeping gun control and pro-choice pieces parcel to their platform. I'd like to see more people like Jim Barksdale run for offices, but it's tough to sell that you are a pro-gun democrat, when the party platform is consistently undermining that stance. Contrary to popular belief, there are a good many pro-gun, pro-life democrats... especially in Georgia, but the national platform sinks those ships before they get to float out of the harbor good. The democratic party brags as the "big tent" party, and ethnically and culturally they are more diverse, but until that tent opens up to being more openly supportive of "good southern democrats" it will be difficult to gain any ground in the "bible belt". Well, the minority ( Democrates) population is growing while whites aren't producing near the same pace. Republicans will be bred out of office. No stoping it. Minorities will vote very high % for a minority candidate so only hope Republicans have is finding a strong minority candidate or that a 3rd party emerges that will split Dem party. The latter is in the works from reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it was a pipe-dream all along. There is nothing wrong with being hopeful about picking off a seat though. I really had some problems with the media trying to nationalize this election, when in the end, it should be about that district, it's electorate and their issues there. The media should have had some interest in the election, because it does have some national implications, but they were trying to sell it as something it's not. Of course, I'm sure my conservative friends won't be surprised at that though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk. just taking a stab in the dark on that one. 18.2 million to be exact...compared with 7.6 million toward Ossoff. Ossoff'a campaign directly raised $23.6 million; compared to $4.5 million for Handel. The democrat party won the overall spending battle pretty handily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter is in the works from reports. I think both parties have some pretty strong rifts inside them. Both are struggling with moderate vs. wingnut so to speak, and it shows for the republicans in votes like the house healthcare initial vote. Then it shows in the moderate democrats squashing Bernie more or less. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like 96% of the money he raised was from outside the district. He raised 9x more money from California than Georgia. And that doesn't even take into account New York, which also blew away Georgia fund-raising. As usual, Democrats flushing huge amounts of money down the schneid. .

As long as the Dems message is we hate Trump the more they assure him of 8 yrs. if asshat would have won it wouldn't have meant a damn thing. The media wanted so bad to say America has spoke. Well they did AGAIN. They said we don't believe you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
