President Donald Trump on Monday morning weighed in on the special election to fill an open House seat in Georgia by criticizing the leading Democratic candidate as “super liberal.”

Link to tweet

The special election takes place on Tuesday.

Democrat Jon Ossoff has been leading the polls for the 18-candidate race to fill the seat vacated by Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price. Democrats have been hopeful that they can channel anti-Trump fervor into a win, especially given that Trump only won the district by one point in the November election.

The race will function as a jungle primary, with all candidates regardless of party competing on one ballot. If no one candidate clears 50 percent of the vote, the top two finishers will head to a run-off in June.

1. he needs to learn to use spell check too

2. What does "protecting criminals" mean?

Probably the Bill of Rights.

4. Tweets like this one, probably help the democrats.

It's a reminder to get out and vote because there is a nut bag in the oval office.

10. That tweet was intended to rile up the right wing base

Of course it was all a big lie, but IMO it'll stir up a few right wing votes. If they can keep Osof below 50% and force a runoff election they stand a pretty good chance of retaining the seat.

5. Super Liberal!

I like the sound of that. And I really like the fact they are actually worried that a liberal Dem would win in Georgia.

People move. Many rust belt workers have moved south and west for jobs. Make the south Democratic again.

6. Well, I guess when you Commit and try to hide Treason

I like being a "Super Liberal Supporter" will take being "Liberal" over Treason any day, seems that's what right wing republicans do all the time.

Your record republicans is not very patriotic shall we say----------Watergate, Iran/Contra, Irag War, electioneering 2001, 2016, Collusion or as it commonly called TREASON with a state power like I don't know Russia. Writing a convention party platform to aid and abet to and for Russian interests 2016.



FU sexual predator its that simple, you are a Traitor

7. He also recommended a blank book

From Fox News.

8. Translation

protect criminals = justice reform and competent legal representation, end for-profit prisons
allow illegal immigration = immigration reform with a reasonable path to citizenship
raise taxes = reform the tax code, make the wealthy to pay their fair share, and end corporate welfare

typical Republican rant - pull out the old dog whistles.

9. Lol

Wow, that serves as a great campaign ad for the Democrat!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

11. Don't you just love (hate)

the double standards that Republicans (and media pundits for that matter) have for Democrats? Aside from Trump's general blithering idiocy, it's crazy that Republicans can be as whacko right-wing fringe as they want but Democrats are expected to be more "Moderate" and any Democrat whom strays too far to the left is considered a whacko moonbat Socialist wannabe. Of course, speaking from my experience here in Indiana, pretty much every Democrat, even Blue Dogs like Joe Donnelly are continually assaulted by Republicans as being "Super Liberal" despite all evidence to the contrary.

14. The last meme of panicking ReThugs.

It's always the exact same thing every time they get into trouble.

Just think if he had used spell check he would have had 1 whole extra character.

17. In another statement Trump said that Ossoff will take your healthcare away....ROFLOL!!
