Tonight some Bay Area lefties are poorer and Dem campaign consultants are richer.
Despite all the polls predicting that Jon Ossoff was ahead, he lost by 5 percentage points. Meanwhile the media is reduced to reassuring the lefties who burned through $23 million to lose yet another special election that the narrower margin of defeat, once again, shows how weak Trump's support is.
Though maybe...
1. It being a special election
and
2. The left pouring $23 million into a special election
had something to do with it.
But at least there's good news. Once again the Dems lost a special election by a narrower margin than usual.
The only sane question arising out of this entire mess is why?
Not why do this. Dem campaign consultants need cash. And Tom Perez needed to show that he has a 50 state strategy. Even if it's a strategy of losing in every state.
But why Jon Ossoff, a lefty who doesn't live in the district and whose only notable job involved Al Jazeera, who had no clear policy positions on anything except Clearaisil?
Ossoff's only pitch was "Make Trump Furious." And he failed even at that. But the owners of that $23 million might just be furious at the little weasel and the DNC.
