southsider2k5 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 And the best part is if the President doesn't spend the last two months shitting on the electoral process, the GOP wins these two seats running away. Thanks Trump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Trump. That and the 2k stimulus. He basically created that platform for the democrats to run on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 4 minutes ago, Quin said: Ossoff down 456. And yet, the “radical” and “socialist” policies that certain members of the GOP said would be enacted don’t have a good chance of passing. I think of things as being even if they get 50/50 in the senate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 120k votes left, Ossoff estimated to win those by about 44%. The Republicans' last good batch of 54k just dropped and they underperformed in that batch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 4.6 million total votes according to Georgia SoS. So far, almost 4.4 million counted. So still 200k left, a bit more than what NYT is projecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 If the turnout is indeed 4.6 million, it's only 400k less than the turnout for the 2020 general. That's 90% of the general turnout, which is amazing for a run-off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Warnock is as it stands right now, outside of the recount threshold. Purdue or Ossoff is obviously a different story. https://ballotpedia.org/Recount_laws_in_Georgia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Trump entered the WH with a Republican House and Senate. Now it looks like he lost it all. Maybe he was right. Maybe they got sick of winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 NY Times meter has it ending at 1.9% for Warnock and 1.1% for Ossoff. How much does this impact Trump negatively...at least in terms of GOP electoral politics? Obviously, he's not going to take/assume/accept any responsibility for the loss, but it's hard to imagine him not being in the Top 3 reasons. If for no other reason than the $200 million he's soaked up after the election. With all the soft money flying into this, it seems the Dem advantage wasn't as pronounced in the end, but the GOP could have had a significant spending margin on advertising if they'd not gotten sidetracked. Quite a few unforced errors by both sides. For Dems, Antifa, defund the police, identity politics, embrace of "socialism" (or not differentiating enough from democratic socialism of the AOC/Squad variety) and Bernie's comments on socialism/Castro/Cuba... For the GOP, there are too many to name, but going to war with the governor of the state as well as the Secretary of State where you're trying to win two runoff elections doesn't seem to be the wisest election strategy.
