Yesterday: \u00a0“John Ossoff, the Trump Slayer<\/strong>, in the\u00a0most important Congressional race in history – a race that is a sure-fire referendum on Trump<\/em>!.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

NPR’s wishful, romanticized coverage, before the news really sank in that the “Trump Slayer” was yet another empty Democrat suit.<\/p><\/div>\n

Today<\/a>: \u00a0“Just another special election. \u00a0Hard red distsrict! \u00a0 Ossoff never had a chance<\/em>!\u00a0Nothing to see here. \u00a0Move along, citizen.”<\/p>\n

Remember – John “Trump Slayer” Ossoff raised and spent\u00a0nearly five times as much as Karan Handel<\/em>, in a district that Trump barely carried six months ago.<\/p>\n

And they were\u00a0so hopeful<\/em>. \u00a0From NPR’s extended tongue-bath of Ossoff:<\/p>\n

“Ossoff’s campaign has long held that it has the edge in voter enthusiasm \u2014 a more committed base of voters who will flock to the polls regardless to support him. Handel’s supporters points to a core of backers who have followed her through thick-and-thin as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

CNN’s panel of hairdos, watching the fat lady go for that high E flat. \u00a0Bias? \u00a0Perish the thought!<\/p><\/div>\n

“Still, for Handel’s campaign, this could be a problem. She’s expected to trail Ossoff in the early voting numbers, and hopes for a solid election day turnout to notch a win. But the downpours could dampen voter participation in GOP bastions as well.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wasn’t even close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
