And the best part is if the President doesn't spend the last two months shitting on the electoral process, the GOP wins these two seats running away. 

Thanks Trump.

That and the 2k stimulus. He basically created that platform for the democrats to run on.

Ossoff down 456.

 

And yet, the “radical” and “socialist” policies that certain members of the GOP said would be enacted don’t have a good chance of passing. I think of things as being even if they get 50/50 in the senate.

NY Times meter has it ending at 1.9% for Warnock and 1.1% for Ossoff.

 

How much does this impact Trump negatively...at least in terms of GOP electoral politics?   Obviously, he's not going to take/assume/accept any responsibility for the loss, but it's hard to imagine him not being in the Top 3 reasons.

If for no other reason than the $200 million he's soaked up after the election.

With all the soft money flying into this, it seems the Dem advantage wasn't as pronounced in the end, but the GOP could have had a significant spending margin on advertising if they'd not gotten sidetracked.

 

Quite a few unforced errors by both sides.

For Dems, Antifa, defund the police, identity politics, embrace of "socialism" (or not differentiating enough from democratic socialism of the AOC/Squad variety)  and Bernie's comments on socialism/Castro/Cuba...

For the GOP, there are too many to name, but going to war with the governor of the state as well as the Secretary of State where you're trying to win two runoff elections doesn't seem to be the wisest election strategy.
