THAT GEORGIA RACE – QUOTE OF THE DAY – Oh, the Dems must be in anguish this morning.  To paraphrase Cole Porter in "Kiss Me, Kate" – another election, another loss.  Politico says it nicely:

Good Wednesday morning and happy first day of summer. THE FACTS -- KAREN HANDEL quite easily beat JON OSSOFF in Georgia. House Republicans are now 4-0 in contested special elections since PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP won the presidency. That means Democrats have failed -- despite millions of dollars in spending -- to win a single race with a president who has a record low approval rating. Democrats are even further from the majority than they thought. Let’s be clear: something ain’t working for Democrats, party insiders privately tell us. The Ossoff race galvanized national donors and activists in a way that led many to believe House Democrats were en route to wresting control of the chamber from Republicans. That’s not how they feel this morning. Caveat: this is a Republican seat. Being close is nice. But after six years in the minority, that’s about all it is.

-- REP. SETH MOULTON (D-MASS.) (@sethmoulton): “#Ossof Race better be a wakeup call for Democrats - business as usual isn’t working. Time to stop rehashing 2016 and talk about the future.” … “We need a genuinely new message, a serious jobs plan that reaches all Americans, and a bigger tent not a smaller one. Focus on the future."

COMMENT:  Maybe the Dems will finally figure out that they're not loved.  They think because Trump's approval ratings are low, that the voters will run into their arms.  They will not.  The Democratic Party is a train wreck.  It has lost the White House, the Senate, the House, most governorships and most state legislatures.  It has lost a thousand legislative seats nationwide since Obama took office.

Most Americans really don't like what the Dems stand for.  And I'm sure plenty of Americans are sickened by the fact that leading Dems, like Senator Kamala Harris of California and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, as well as National Chairman Tom Perez, drop curse words into their speeches.  Who are they trying to appeal to?
