    Horsey, this thread is not about what the republicans won, but about what the democrats lost, after having spent so valiantly.

    Actually, this thread is not even about the dems losing the seat, it is about posts #1, 7, 9, 14, 15, 16 etc.

    And then AFTER the loss, this thread is about the OP making excuse after excuse, citing rain as a cause for the loss, then the OP claimed that the repubs "were supposed to win" this seat, even though he maxed out bets while laying -145.

    Folks, you can't make this stuff up

    I'm assuming since some Dems got rained out from voting this won't count against his record?

    Well let me ask you this you swine: you think I wouldn't take shi* if I put a -140 play as a WINNER if Ossoff won? 

    Of course, count EVERYTHING as a loss but the winners better be as WE say. 


    I didn't count EIGHT PLAYS as winners during the RnC DNC capping every WORD out of Trumps and Hillary's mouth.

    EVERY WORD.

    And I swept the ENTIRE SLATE. Not a single winner in my record. 

    I posted this FOR YOU win or lose.

    Yours to assess. Now start appreciating what people do for you, again win or lose, or beat it kid. I got capping to do. I don't have time to deal with your shi*.

    And the rain had an EFFECT however bug or small. To deny this is to be an imbecile and say Lebron rupturing his spleen mid-game didn't affect his play.

    I posted this FOR YOU win or lose.

    Yours to assess. Now start appreciating what people do for you, again win or lose, or beat it kid. I got capping to do. I don't have time to deal with your shi*.

    And the rain had an EFFECT however bug or small. To deny this is to be an imbecile and say Lebron rupturing his spleen mid-game didn't affect his play.

    So ,if all your bullet points in post #1 turned out to not be the winning factors in the election ..

    Why were you wrong on Ossloff and why did he lose?

    Why was your political handicapping so far off and wrong ?

    If, weather conditions could have an EFFECT on the turn-out and the the election results (like weather would in any outdoor event)  shouldn't this have been taken into consideration when capping before the election ?

    Why is that Ossoff lost the election ?

    Because the race got a ton of media attention, the GOP voters take that as a slight (I.e, much like the deplorables comment) that this young centrist democrat will take down a long-standing red district, and they turned out in droves....and to support Trump which they'll never admit they were wrong about (his incompetence or corruption and that's to be expected).

    And it rained dampening the dem vote by 1-1.5%. 

    If you look at the South Carolina 5 vote, Dems massively overperformed for the very same reason: people thought the GOP would win by 15-20 pts, GOP voters didn't show up and it was a nail biter. Lo and behold, the race got little attention and the GOP base wasn't galvanized because of that.

    End of story.

    Scal I believe Slim has a fair question in asking why you think Ossoff lost.  It's 35,000 Repubs who showed up last night who weren't there in the primary which is the reason but I think you think other wise.  Like to hear your thoughts, because if that's the reason your write up is null and void.  You slammed Slim for even mentioning turn-out which wasn't fair.

    This media attention was a known factor since April during the run-off election ..the Republicans turning out was the deciding factor to Handel winning . ..

    "They turned out in droves"

    Yes they did ..as predicted back in post #22 the one you shot down
    sarcastically as being ''Slim's astute capping!"


    SARASOTA SLIM WANTS US ALL TO KNOW HIS CAP OF THIS RACE and I quote:

    So, after the election and the game has been played you have all the answers ...how sad and pathetic..

    It still comes out the same
    No matter how you look at it, think of it
    You just got to do your own thing

    A rainy night in Georgia

    I believe it's rainin' all over the world

    PAC money is a bottomless pit , but kissoff money mainly came from individual donors directly to that campaign. he had nearly 12,000 volunteers with his staff. if they billed this as a chance to show Americans rejection of the trump agenda that theme should be removed. today media will talk about anything but Georgia special election.
    If you are unpopular with the majority of Americans and you seem to have an arrogant attitude to citizens in America you do. not win.

    What a tough week for Scal. Not only did he get his @ss kicked by me in his other thread. He got his @ss kicked in this thread too and the dash cam video of the Philando Castile shooting was just released and clearly showed the shooting was 100% justified.

    Democrats are '0-5' in special House races since President Trump took office. This says a lot. But I’m guessing liberals aren’t bright enough to see why they are 0-5.

    I see a lot of the same typical ignorant leftist responses. Republicans are dumb, ignorant, and racist. Trump is a sh!t show, incompetent, and corrupt. You guys need to look in the mirror and wake up and pay attention. You’d think after repeatedly losing that liberals would start to wonder why.           

    It comes down to the 5 issues that liberals embrace.

    1. Islam
    2. Anti-white racism
    3. Anti-police
    4. Thug culture
    5. Rioting

    As long as liberals embrace these issues they will continue to lose. It’s that simple.

    Your entire response tried to make things a lot simpler than they are.

    All 5 of those elections were in Republican strongholds. The Democrats weren't favored. The recent seat in Georgia that was up for grabs has been Republican since 1979. 

    The media made more out of those elections than they were. Democrats could still control Congress after midterms.

    True ...

    BUT .....

    It was the dems and the MSM who decided this one seat was important.
    It was the dems money, and the MSM's constant reporting on it that made this such a high profile seat.
    It was the left's response, after seeing in early polling that a dem was favored to win in a republican strong hold spot, that THIS would be "America's answer" to the Trump Presidency. 
    This was touted nightly by the MSM, and lapped up by knuckleheads such as the OP (as witnessed by this thread)

    Now after the dems lost, the MSM, the OP, and most of the left have decided that the results of this vote were actually a good thing, because it was closer than in years past.

    That's like the Atl Falcons saying they were happy with the SB results because they were winning at halftime.

    At least the Falcons never used 'rain' as an excuse for their loss
