Handel did better than Trump

In 2016 the Republican got around 23% of the vote

In 2017 Handel got 3%

@Deleted User Incumbent advantage

Oh shit I mean majority

It isn't that huge

Yep.

it's hilarious how defeatists like @Deleted User and @🎃Boo-ton🎃 focus on whatever statistic gives more credence to their doomsday rhetoric

Incumbent advantage, man.

Incumbency is important. But it isn't 20 points

We lost MN because of the Somalis

incumbent advantage does explain a bit, but unfortunately that's not all of the explanation

Yes it is.

@FLanon Ossoff was Conor Lamb before Conor Lamb

young

white male

And considering the amount of retirements, I don't think it all bodes well.

campaigned as a 'moderate'

Conor Lamb campaigned as a progressive though

not lamb

Ossoff

Ossoff probably could have won if his house was inside the district

We're probably losing to House tbqh

The district went for Trump by !-2 points, Handel won by 3.

@FLanon Ossoff campaigned as a progressive

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 doesn't mean we shouldn't keep working

as per the status quo, this is a salvage campaign

No one is saying we shouldn't work for midterms

you can't directly control the outcome, but you can control a variety of things

I'm certainly not proposing that

but we definitely have to deal with the cards we get

@Deleted User every time you and BM whine about how we are "certainly" going to lose, you're detracting from the cause

the worst thing is for them to have margins to impeach and remove Trump in both chambers

What i'm saying is that we are on damage control. We're losing ground definately. But can we minimise loses

keep the house

The Congressional Ballot is good news.

Like there are some Democrat districts that Trump strongly carried

If we can flip those

then we can have a much better chance of keeping the house and offsetting losses
