As of about 5 p.m. Eastern time on June 20th, every single person on the left was absolutely positively 100% SURE that their chosen one, Jon Ossoff, would handily win the Georgia House District 6 race.
I mean seriously?! How could he lose? He was young, cute, and Hollywood loved him! Money came pouring in from everywhere! Except Georgia, that is. But I digress.
And then REALITY hit.
BIGLY.

By 10 p.m. Eastern time the left was looking for help, and the melt-down show started.
Hollywood fled to Twitter for their pearl clutching/fainting couch therapy sessions.

Yelling on Twitter always helps.
That's so hard to process, Joy. https://t.co/xJwl5fVtei

Maybe Debra needs a clue or five? George Takei to the rescue!
A very strong effort by Jon @Ossoff in #GA06 today. #TeamOssoff and all the voters and activists there should be proud. Onward to 2018.

Or not…
Wait – a strong woman beat a white male. why aren't you pointing that out, Captain Identity? https://t.co/lA6eL5NgH0

Ouch! That’ll leave a mark!
Meanwhile the vaunted media remains willfully clueless as Legal Insurrection points out.
Oh, ok. So what Mika and Joe are saying is that it’s cool to march and stuff, but next time liberal democrats need to recruit candidates who actually match the district! Basically Jon Ossoff was super-great right up until last night when he had to concede after losing one of the most expensive House campaigns in history.
Did anyone else besides Legal Insurrection’s Mark Finkelstein and I notice that Ossoff’s speech pattern resembles that of a guy named Obama? This comment from his concession speech is right out of the Obama playbook.
The more than 12,000 of you who, as darkness has kept across this planet, have provided a beacon of hope for people here in Georgia, for people across the country, and for people around the world . . . At a time when politics has been dominated by fear and hatred and scapegoating and division, this community stood up, women in this community stood up.
The liberal hot-takes this morning are laugh-out-loud funny. Blame bad polling!
Looks like we have more evidence that polling is flawed and reporters need to stop relying on it to shape coverage https://t.co/pd8slLeGoZ

Ummm, yeah. About that.
* The final polls in GA-06 showed the race almost exactly tied.
* Polls miss by an average of ~4 points in House races.
* Handel won by 3.7.— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) June 21, 2017
Let’s do some substantive navel gazing …err agenda revision!
Jon Ossoff’s Georgia special election loss shows Democrats could use a substantive agenda: https://t.co/o1LdRIMJX5
— Ezra Klein (@ezraklein) June 21, 2017
The Democrats and the left (one and the same really) already HAVE an agenda. It’s called Trump And Anyone Who Is Remotely Conservative Are Ugly, Racist, Bigots 24/7.
At what point is this not a failure of Democrats but toxic, vindictive voters willing to elect hateful bigots? https://t.co/EYNDuzxzGL
— Jill Filipovic (@JillFilipovic) June 21, 2017
At some point we have to be willing to say that yes, lots of conservative voters are hateful and willing to embrace bigots.

Well Bless Her Heart!
You know, she, along with all the other pearl clutchers on the Left, don’t have a clue that it was their involvement, their rhetoric, their sanctimonious condescending attitudes, the Hollywood liberals, and the Democrat Party’s insistence that Jon Ossoff was THE GUY, was the reason for this spectacular loss. This from Will Collier is a must read:
So it’s time for some post-runoff Gaming Theory, from an actual resident of GA06. 1/40
— Will Collier (@willcollier) June 21, 2017
If you lived in the 6th, you were bombarded by fliers, signs, ads, door-knockers, and most of all, phone calls. 2/40
— Will Collier (@willcollier) June 21, 2017
At least once a day (and usually more than once), the phone would ring from an out-of-state area code. 3/40
— Will Collier (@willcollier) June 21, 2017
They weren’t targeted. They were calling everybody, every day. And they wouldn’t take “Go to Hell” for an answer—trust me on this one. 5/40
— Will Collier (@willcollier) June 21, 2017
I urge you to go over and read the entire thread. He nails the Left on their lack of self-awareness, how annoyed EVERYONE in the district was about this race, how the National Media missed every clue in front of them, outlined how Trump wasn’t popular but Ossof/Democrats/Nancy Pelosi/Hollywood/Media are TOXIC. The continual post-election tantrums the Left has been indulging in, the riots, and the Left’s embrace of the Anti-Fa most certainly didn’t help their cause with Collier and 52% of the voters in GA06. In fact,
GA06 is a lot of things, but hard Left isn’t one. Pelosi, her caucus and its nutball fan club are as disliked as Notre Dame fball here 26/40
— Will Collier (@willcollier) June 21, 2017
Oh, OUCH! That’s really saying something! Again, read his entire tweet thread. It’s a fabulous indictment of the Left/Democrats and everyone who trots alongside swilling the liberal koolaid.
Needless to say, many are understandably laughing at the Left’s pearl-clutching today.
Will #Ossoff still move into the #GA06 district? Asking for a friend. #GApol
— Sister Toldjah ツ (@sistertoldjah) June 21, 2017
Heck, inquiring minds want to know if he’ll even get married!
Candidate recruitment is always a challenge, but Dems may want to look for someone who actually lives in the district next time…
— (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) June 21, 2017
Think they’ll learn from their mistakes? Well…
Meanwhile, the AP is still not prepared to call MIchigan for Trump
— DanRiehl (@DanRiehl) June 21, 2017
Sally Kohn has some GREAT advice!
Best thing that could come out of the #GA06 results is for Democratic Party to finally give up its self-destructive obsession with centrism
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) June 21, 2017
Dear Democratic Party: please listen to this advice. Go Left. WAY WAY Left. You know you want to.
— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) June 21, 2017
Your party keeps going left and keeps losing. But please continue. https://t.co/83HsoXms64
— Carl Gustav (@CaptYonah) June 21, 2017
Absolutely keep going!
And now one final Hot Take regarding exactly WHY Jon Ossoff lost to Karen Handel, from the presumptive candidate himself!
Democrat Jon Ossoff on the reportedly $40 million spent in the Georgia election: "We need campaign finance reform." https://t.co/88GDR13Hqu pic.twitter.com/FjS5JWTC1x
— Morning Edition (@MorningEdition) June 20, 2017
Ossoff scanned the list of Dem excuses for losing. "Russians stole it? Nobody will buy that. Voters are bigots? Save that for later…" https://t.co/rGrflO4ewC
— John Hayward (@Doc_0) June 21, 2017
HAHAHAHAHA!! Nearly $40 million dollars spent on the primary and the run-off. $23 million from the liberal left in California and he trots out campaign finance reform as his excuse? Wow.
And the Democrats and liberals still wonder why their post-election 2016 record is 0-4?? Keep up with the meltdowns, guys. It’s a YUUUGE help!
Nina, that was a great post, but my sides are gonna hurt the rest of the day from laughing at some of those comments… I’m thinking I might buy some “liberal tears gun oil” since this massive increase in the supply of liberal tears should drive the price down…. one minor thing, I think the dims are actually 0-5 since November, at least that’s what I’ve seen elsewhere
Thank you!
