Trump, the Democrats, and the Georgia special election

I stopped writing in this blog because that's the way things go (maybe I felt writing in English and Spanish was too much of a hassle: I don't know). Nevertheless,  I came back and reading my June 25, 2016 post about Trump, I gotta say: I was right. The energy generated by Trump led to him becoming president. In addition, even now, upon seeing the results of the Georgia special election (despite progressive groups raising 25 million dollars) we can deduce that the republicans are still firmly in charge.

It seems to me, Trump will always have the support of his base as long as he keeps providing the optics of ICE deporting undocumented immigrants as well as the Donald "cutting red tape and regulations" (whatever that means). So now, like my post in June 25, 2016, I get the uneasy feeling Democrats won't be able to defeat the right-wing machine (and its massive amount of money) unless they have a clearer and more concise message. Ossoff seemed like a republican-lite to me, and all the right-wing had to do is link him to Nancy Pelosi and say he wanted to "raise taxes". If the democratic leadership want to start winning races, they need to find a solution to the unpopularity of Pelosi and the GOP constantly linking democratic candidates to "San Francisco values".
