To see the growing anger of Americans tired of being betrayed by the GOP, look no further than Georgia, where Jon Ossoff, a 30-year-old Democrat and political novice, on Tuesday came within two percentage points of winning outright a congressional seat held by Republicans for four decades.
“This is already a remarkable victory,” Ossoff said when it became clear he will face a June runoff with Republican Karen Handel, who received 20 percent of the GOP vote. “We defied the odds, shattered expectations, and now are ready to fight on and win in June.”
Though President Donald Trump and Republicans deny it, the Georgia election and another close one in Kansas the week before, scream that Trump and the GOP have a growing trust problem – a staggering debacle for a president not yet through his first 100 days.
But last week, about on day 89 or so, Trump kept up the baloney: “No administration has accomplished more in the first 90 days,” he said during a braggy, bring-back-my-campaign-glory-days speech in Kenosha, Wis.
Not only is this not reality, it’s not even reality TV.
