Georgia Congressional special election.

What I really enjoy about this tweets is how he just gets BASHED repeatedly in the replies from followers. But like god damn Rocky Balboa, he keeps coming back for more punches to the face.

Dems failed in Kansas and are now failing in Georgia. Great job Karen Handel! It is now Hollywood vs. Georgia on June 20th.

Despite major outside money, FAKE media support and eleven Republican candidates, BIG "R" win with runoff in Georgia. Glad to be of help!

Just learned that Jon @Ossoff, who is running for Congress in Georgia, doesn't even live in the district. Republicans, get out and vote!

Republicans must get out today and VOTE in Georgia 6. Force runoff and easy win! Dem Ossoff will raise your taxes-very bad on crime & 2nd A.

Democrat Jon Ossoff would be a disaster in Congress. VERY weak on crime and illegal immigration, bad for jobs and wants higher taxes. Say NO

Thank you, and the replies to drumpf's tweets are glorious

Haha, I like how one person reminded Trump that Ossoff got a larger percentage of the vote than he did.

According to Nate Silver, the runoff is going to be a 50/50 coin flip.

Some other interesting observations, such as the fact that this is a good result for the dems, but the Kansas special election was a much better result because the dem candidate there exceeded expectations to a higher degree than did Ossoff.

Taken together these two results are showing strongly red districts trending purple this year. There are loads of districts held by the GOP which are more blue leaning than either of these. More than enough for the dems to retake the House.

Yeah, I live in GA-6. Previously I could barely motivate myself to vote because it skewed so far right. This past month it's been remarkable to see how many Ossoff volunteers are out and how many yard signs and how many friends I know making a big deal about him. I'd love to be part of flipping this district to reasonable. I voted early last week for Ossoff, I plan to donate to him and vote again in the runoff.

Good. It's nice to see this kind of energy at the grass roots level. The trick will be to carry it over to the mid terms late next year.

At this point, I think the overall political landscape will have to change in a pro-Trump direction for the reps to retain the House, but it's important for dems to remain energized.
