Why Georgia went R

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Because it's the dna of the place

Attack ads in the later stages of the race, along with the fact that it's a traditionally Republican district.

Yes.  Trump was literally the worst Republican fit for this district (other than Ted Cruz), and even he won it.  It's really not a surprise that a Republican with less baggage would end up doing better.  Remember, this district was 60%+ Romney in 2012; it's still impressive that Ossoff only lost it by 4%, even with his numerous "advantages."

Dems ran the pre 2016 campaign strategy....to no one's surprise it failed epically.

This is all that needs to be said.  This "suburban strategy" will crash and burn, and the GOP will become more invincible to it as the party evolves over the next 30 years.  Sorry, but that's just the truth.

GA-06 election results
Romney +23

Handel +3

Clearly the Democrats aren't making any inroads.

I love how you skipped the "Trump +1" part. I agree that this area is trending Democratic and that GA should be a blue state by 2024 or 2028, though.

To be fair, Rubio probably would've won this district by 6-10%.
