Make It Stop!
Please! Make it stop! I can’t take it anymore.
I live in Georgia’s sixth congressional district. That’s Tom Price’s district. Since he’s now Secretary of HHS there is a special election to fill his seat. Eleven Republicans are running. Four Dimocrats are running. Two independents are running. For the last four weeks it has been nonstop robocalls, not just from the candidates, but from the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee and various PACs telling us that Dimocrat Jon Ossoff is Pelosi’s puppet, which he is.
Ossoff has raised over $8 million., almost all of it coming from out of state. The Dimocrats are making this a national race and a referendum on Trump. But, if you listen to Ossoff’s ads, you would swear that he was a Republican. He wants to cut out “waste and mismanagement” and “spend tax dollars wisely”. There is no mention of Trump in any of his ads.
The sixth district is solidly Republican and has elected Price by double digits the last few times he has run, but Trump only carried it by two points. The Dims think if they throw enough money at it (and Ossoff prolly has more money than the other sixteen candidates combined) they might be able to eke out a win. If no candidate gets over 50% of the vote tomorrow there will be a runoff between the top two candidates no matter the party. The chances of Ossoff getting 50% tomorrow are very low since he’s polling in the low 40’s. The runoff will prolly be between Ossoff and Karen Handel, the leading Republican, who will prolly win the runoff. But, that means another six weeks of robocalls but at least it will only be for two candidates this time.
But still, make it stop!
