And yet the Republicans have control of all those state legislatures, all those governorships, the Federal government. And you still think they don't have a mandate to govern? Wishful thinking. Y'all are trying everything in the book to prevent them carrying out the will of the majority. And you have to look at changing demographics too. Atlanta's metro area has grown exponentially with people from all over the country moving in. Stands to reason the Dems thought they had a very good chance to take it with all the Press hype, celebrity endorsements, money spent. One thing Southerners can't stand though is outsiders trying to tell them how to think. So they came out and supported Trump with a win.This narrative is absurd on its face. It ignores the fact that republicans spent an equal amount. It has been a reliable red district for 40 years and republicans had to spend $23 million to hold it by 3 points. The majority of people do want more of Obama blue sky, they just aren't properly represented. We'll see how Wisconsin shakes out at the SC where 40% of the vote got republicans 60% of the representation. You can pretend republicans have a mandate but it's not backed up by vote count.
