Message from Georgia: Hating Trump is not a platform
Turns out…money can’t buy you love. Or a House seat in Georgia’s 6th District.
Democrats pulled out all stops in their effort to show that the #Resistance isn’t just about marches and slogans and insulting the president, but also about flipping the House in 2018. They poured tens of millions of dollars into what became the most expensive House race ever, trying to elect 30-year-old nonentity Jon Ossoff to fill the seat of HHS head Tom Price. They cast the race as a referendum on Donald Trump, and a bellwether for 2018. Republicans will be elated with the outcome, and hopeful that both those claims are true.

What Macron’s Victory Could Teach the American Left
The French election was not a referendum on populism, or on Donald Trump, as the liberal media has claimed. It was instead a resounding rejection of Socialism. Emmanuel Macron, running outside the country’s established parties, captured an astonishing 308 seats in parliament; he and ally Modem will command 350 deputies in all, the most ever in the history of the Fifth Republic. Who lost seats? The Socialists, who ended up with a mere 45, down 283 from the prior session. That is a serious clobbering.
