The Lesson of the Special Elections

Three of the four special elections were special for the Democrats, even in defeat.  The anti-Trump movement is generating turnout.  In Montana, Kansas, and South Carolina the Democrat exceeded Hillary's total in the district as well as that of the former incumbent.

Georgia's 6th was different.  Unlike the other 3 elections, the Democrats went all in.   Indifferent Republicans clearly dislike the National Democratic Party.  Inadvertently the national party did for Handel, what Trump did for Ossoff.

In the future, in Republican districts, Democrats must be like a thief in the night, taking advantage of favorable conditions without setting off alarms.
