As the armada appears in waters nowhere near where it was said to be, Trump blusters on in his usual dignified, courtly manner. Easter weekend had us worried about nuclear strikes; DT put a fair bit of work into his golf swing. Business as usual! Carry on, everyone!

Ossof campaign is aware of the technical difficulties in vote-rich Fulton County that have led to a reporting delay. Campaign is monitoring.

An FB friend is in the 6th and campaigning hard Pain. INSPIRING.

CanadianJohn · 19/04/2017 05:07

Ossof is at 48.6%, and NYT extimates he will end up with 47.7% There are about 18 candidates, including several republicans, and if no one gets 50%, there will be a run-off between the top 2.

Hoping this is a little tiny flame of good news we can fan. Love the thread title.

Robert Costa‏ @costareports
Ossoff, in statement shortly after 1:30 a.m., formally accepts run-off, is "ready to fight on and win in June."

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump

Despite major outside money, FAKE media support and eleven Republican candidates, BIG "R" win with runoff in Georgia. Glad to be of help!

So close!
It's not fair that they can't be just the most voted, like Presidents. When making sure a President got over 50% of the vote should be more important IMO.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 19/04/2017 07:32

Morning y'all. Strong Osoff result by the look of things.

BoreOfWhabylon · 19/04/2017 07:36

At last some encouraging news!
Is Twitler awake yet?

Bigly title TheClaws. The best.

Thanks for thread Cave great title!

How close for Osoff. How can that orange buffoon call it a "big win for R"? Surely it's a slap in the face given that no Dem candidate has ever even neared 40% there and Romney won by 24%. A great result I would say! Bigly and yuge!

He's clearly rattled in his tweet and what a nerve talking about major outside money given his record. . Osoff got more in a republican district than Trump did in the Election!

Dumdedumdedum · 19/04/2017 07:46

So, those of you with the brains, for this kind of thing, could you tell me what are the chances of Osoff getting more than 50% in the run-off?

Dumdedumdedum · 19/04/2017 07:47

Oh, sorry, just proved am a bear of very little brain, presumably someone just needs a majority in the run-off?

PlectrumElectrum · 19/04/2017 07:51

Bigly place mark.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 19/04/2017 08:01

dumdedum it's one and the same thing I think (unless spoiled ballots count)! As there's only two candidates, for anyone to get a majority they'd have to get over 50% could be completely wrong and if so, I blame the lack of sleep

Dumdedumdedum · 19/04/2017 08:14

Yes, of course, Pain, I'm double overthinking myself Grin. Oh, so actually, if all the Republicans vote for the runner-up this time, they'll likely win? They will, won't they? Sad

Dumdedumdedum · 19/04/2017 08:14

I've lost the will to live, by the way.
