MSNBC and CNN are doing a good job of making clear that Trump is 100% finished. But they need another supervillain to scare people into staying tuned in, and they've decided it's McConnell. They seem almost afraid we'll win the Georgia runoffs.
If we win the Georgia runoffs, which the numbers suggest we have about a 50-50 shot at, McConnell will be made powerless at the same time Trump is shoved off the stage. There would be no major conflict, no powerful villain. That's a nightmare scenario for TV news ratings.
So we have to be careful about the narrative coming from MSNBC and CNN that we don't have a realistic shot in the Georgia runoffs. They're afraid of losing both their ratings-friendly villains at once. The reality is we do have a good shot. I mean, we just won Georgia last week.
Ossoff came within two points of Perdue last week - and with the debate flameout, that race was trending in Ossoff's direction in the end. That alone is proof that Ossoff and Warnock can compete in the runoffs. We don't even need to look at polls. We can look at actual votes.
Will McConnell pour money into the Georgia runoffs? Of course. But so will we. We have donors too, you know. We also have lawyers. And again, we just won Georgia.
If McConnell had an election magic wand, he would have found a way to make sure Trump won. That didn't happen.
