Democrats Defeated Again

The Democrats lost both Congressional special elections today in Georgia and South Carolina, as the Leftist party remains mired in a losing streak that shows no signs of letting up. In South Carolina, Republican Ralph Norman beat back Democrat Archie Parnell to hold control of the seat vacated by Mick Mulvaney, tapped by President Donald Trump to serve as director of the Office of Management and Budget. In Georgia, in a Congressional district encompassing the suburbs of Atlanta, Republican Karen Mandel won by about 5 percent over Democrat Jon Ossoff.

The liberal press, of course, had been agitating for an Ossoff victory and the race became the most expensive in US history. But as Greg Gutfeld pointed out today on Fox News, while Ossoff was the darling of liberal California donors, he never connected with the folks from Georgia.

One of these years, the Democrats might actually start winning some races again. But first, they are going to need to do what parties normally do following massive defeats, and that’s engage in some real, honest soul searching and try to formulate a few plans and positions that will appeal to a majority of voters. Just turning violent and more radical, and frothing at the mouth over Trump, and blaming the Russians for all of their boondoggles, is never going to appeal to a majority of Americans.

And take a look at the faces of the newscasters over at CNN. Someone ought to drop them off some cookies and milk!
