Leftist Josh Marshall on the Georgia loss last night:
First, there’s no question and there should be no denying that this is a very disappointing loss. It is a very Republican district. It was vacated by HHS Secretary Tom Price who has been a key architect of Trumpcare, which is now readying to scythe its way through the tens of millions of Americans who gained coverage from Obamacare. It was even the seat once held by Newt Gingrich. Taking it from the GOP would have been a big victory both substantively and symbolically. It would also have sent a clear signal that the GOP’s House majority is living on borrowed time.There's more:
This is a big disappointment. But remember, by any objective measure these races show a Democratic party resurgent and a GOP on the ropes.The "objectivity" of being "on the ropes" from leftist Josh Marshall.
