This thing has been so hyped up.
Hyped up to the max.
I don’t know that it really is a referendum on Donald Trump. I think it is more that the media has framed it that way because they think they are going to win it, due to the amount of money they have poured into the Jew Ossoff’s campaign, and that they will then be able to dance around as if they have won some sort of second Presidential election that makes Trump’s actual Presidential election invalid.
The biggest problem is not even the lopsided funding and media promotion of the Jew, but that the GOP candidate is so horrible.
If the GOP is the party of White Men, then why do we have so many menopausal women running around in important positions?
Georgia’s special election will be a nail-biter all the way to the finish line Tuesday, as President Trump looms large over an election that has huge stakes for both Democrats and Republicans ahead of the 2018 midterms.
Democrats have zeroed in on the suburban Atlanta district as their best chance this year to flip a House seat and are looking to Jon Ossoff to be the face of the anti-Trump resistance. But if Ossoff comes up short, his loss will deal a major blow to their newfound momentum and political activism.
The stakes are just as high for the GOP. If it loses the seat left open by Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, Trump will likely shoulder the blame and Republicans could start defecting from his agenda.
On the other hand, a victory for Republican Karen Handel will signify that opposition to Trump might not win Democrats the House in 2018.
That is the standard framing.
Like Trump is fighting the last boss in the Moral Kombat championship.
I don’t think the media actually believes that, but they are meming it into the minds of the people.
In the final days of the race, Ossoff and Handel have sought to steer clear of national politics, with each candidate barely uttering Trump’s name. Both have also downplayed the national implications of the race, even though it has been a magnet for attention and tens of millions of dollars. The total spending in the race is estimated to be around $60 million.
It’s the most expensive House race in American history.
Ossoff, who launched his campaign months ago by urging voters to “Make Trump Furious,” has tempered his rhetoric when it comes to the president. While he needed to win Democrats in the jungle primary, he now needs to appeal to more moderate voters in a district that has been a deep shade of red for decades.
But when hyping up his supporters over the weekend as they launched more canvasses, Ossoff still made indirect references to Trump, saying that “fear and hate” won’t be tolerated in the state.
“Let’s send a message across this country that fear and hate and division are not welcome in Georgia,” Ossoff said at his Sandy Springs office on Saturday, “that Georgians stand up instead for unity and for progress.”
When asked about Trump directly, Ossoff didn’t shy away from saying that he’ll stand up to the president where there are major differences, but he also said he’d work with him on issues where they can find common ground.
“I’ve consistently said I’ll stand up to President Trump if he embarrasses us or threatens our interests and that I’m willing to work with him on issues of mutual interest,” Ossoff told reporters on Sunday, adding that there has been an increase in concerns lately over the administration’s “integrity and competence.”
Ossoff’s ground game has grown into a massive operation of more than 12,000 volunteers, helped along by canvassing and phone banking from various national and local groups.
The campaign’s emphasis on the ground game illustrates how important turnout will be for Ossoff in a GOP-leaning district. Trump only carried the district by less than 2 points, but Price still handily won reelection.
Trump recently fed into this hysteria, I guess feeling he doesn’t have a choice since the media has already drawn these battle lines.
He tweeted yesterday:
Big day tomorrow in Georgia and South Carolina. ObamaCare is dead. Dems want to raise taxes big! They can only obstruct, no ideas. Vote "R"

And this morning:
Democrat Jon Ossoff, who wants to raise your taxes to the highest level and is weak on crime and security, doesn't even live in district.

We’ll keep you updated as results come in.
I’m not making any predictions.
