Democrats should be asking themselves what they’re getting for their money. They just lost a special Georgia election that they were counting on to win, and had invested heavily in the campaign.
That makes the DNC victory count 0-5. Zero wins in the Trump era…they’re definitely doing something wrong. The excuses for the Democratic loss are pouring in, as one liberal outlet after another reluctantly reported that Republican Karen Handel had won the race.
The Dems just aren’t connecting, and the f-bomb campaign tactic doesn’t work for them either. And the Republicans need to use caution with their language too.
Just because it worked for one candidate (Trump), it doesn’t mean that it’ll work for everybody. Dropping f-bombs is simply red meat, and only appeals to the candidate’s base…sometimes. At least some of the time, it turns voters off.
In any case, Democratic rank & file members should question whether they like the national party dumping their money into campaigns that they have a slim chance of winning.
The Dems outspent Trump by nearly a 2-1 margin during last year’s Presidential campaign and still lost. They did the same thing in Georgia and lost there too. They haven’t learned the lesson that’s being taught about spending in districts that they have less than a 50% chance of winning, but it’s very likely that they’re learning it this morning.
