First, they get a kid who didn't even live in the District in an attempt to appeal to the younger crowd. They pour 8 million dollars into the effort, bring in Hollywood Celebrities, define the race as a repudiation against President Trump.
All of the major news organizations got on board. CNN even had an "all night" analysis crew working into the hours of the night, hoping, praying, that "their Candidate" won get that magic 50%
They knew they needed to win outright with 50% of the vote. The entire effort was put toward that goal.
They failed. In a District that President Trump only won by 1 percentage point.
Now, they will have to face a well liked Republican Candidate, a woman, Karen Handell, who, by the way, actually lives in the 6th Congressional District.
The question that sunk the Dems was when their Candidate was asked a simple question......."who are you voting for"?
When you go all in, and your "two deuce bluff" gets answered with three of a kind, you loose. You leave the table.
President Trump wins. There is no other way to spin it.
