Georgia's 6th - Ossof v. Handel. - Page 29 - Politics and Economics

Many people are saying so called polling is about the choices pollsters make. If they decide the party mix should be 36% Dem 26% Rep instead of 34% Dem 28% Rep it completely changes the result, and that is totally unrelated to what poll respondants are actually saying. Believe me.

Please explain TIWLAB, I googled it and found nothing. All I could think was 'This Is What Liberals Actually Believe'
Also, I'm not a Liberal

Even though I think she's never played golf I'm pretty sure she at least knows not to drive a cart on a ****ing putting green.

Sure, but I think the topic was more related to scandals

I'm from the south and never have to wait for more than 10 minutes. Must be an Atlanta thing.

Yeah, it reinforces the idea that racism is dead because people don't see "No Coloreds, no Irish, no dogs" signs posted everywhere. Times change.

I desperately want to believe this is true but I really don't have much faith. The leftist appeals will be essentially tricking these people because they don't want them in a leftist way. Sure, they appear to want them, and the polling shows they want them, but the implicit and unspoken fact is they want them only for white people. It's socialist and quasisocialist things but only for people of a select nationality. And we have a word for that.

p.s. Just in case it wasn't inferred, I do believe it's always better to go down swinging.

Ossoff should've said Handel was going to vote for Trumpcare and was Trump's best friend and FORCED her to either alienate her base by walking that back or embrace. Instead he ran ads about reducing government waste.

Civility is bull****. Have principles, or failing that, act like someone with principles.

You want to kill people, and agreeing to the healthcare bill proposed is no different than strangling (points to random guy in audience) that guy's grandmother with your bare hands. **** you"

I got news for you. Too many of the Republican people around Trump hate him too. So much that they complain about it to different news organizations every couple of days.

Also, who but Donald Trump brags so much about something they were supposed to win by a lot anyway? Incredible accomplishments this President has. Phony win after phony win aftehr a WHOLE LOT of losing.

Faking it only lasts for so long though. A fake campaign becomes a fake presidency. Here are some inspirational words on the topic:

“The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular.”

“You can’t con people, at least not for long. You can create excitement, you can do wonderful promotion and get all kinds of press, and you can throw in a little hyperbole. But if you don’t deliver the goods, people will eventually catch on.”

Oh hai Donald T. Is that you?

He enjoys 90%+ support from the Republican electorate. Sorry to break it to you, but he will be around a very, very long time.

He will be around as long as Obama, but he will get to appoint triple the number of Supreme Court justices as he did, and more to the federal bench than any other president.

The word for this is denial. EVERYONE who works for him in the White House hates him. GOP hates him. He keeps putting them in impossible situations. They complain about it all the time. Which world are you living in?
