I know all the arguments for why it was a very good night for democrats last night with the election being so close, but for me not close enough. Only losing by less than 12% is statistically a real gain for democrats in this district and does show a changing mood in one of the deepest red congressional districts in the country. But what has me irked is that there should have been more kick back from republicans as a warning to trump that he is a disgrace and needs to stop his presidency. But no! There was some of that in the voting last night but not nearly enough to get the message to trump that his reign of stupidity and dishonesty must end!
The republican majority in this district last night could have sent a clear warning if they had just put their country above their republican party. But as is the case with republicans at large, they are not as true to our constitution as they are to other less honorable traits. How any of them could keep a demented creature like trump and his favored candidate in power is beyond anything sensible to me! But here we are. Some inroads were made and I thank those who moved on from republicans and gave the democrat Shawn Harris their vote. Harris lost this race in 2024 by 29% points in 2024. Tonight he lost it by about 11.8%. An improvement from 2 years ago of about 18% points. Yet to me still disappointing!
Despite the failure of republicans in Georgia's 14th district to hold trump accountable, Wisconsin fared much better in that regard. Wisconsinites overwhelmingly reversed their support for trump and his politically aligned candidate. In 2024, trump won Wisconsin in a very close race by about 1% point. In 2025, a state wide supreme court race was held and the democrat won that by about 10% points. Last night another state wide supreme court race was held and the democrat won that by more than 20% points. Even though Georgia is showing the blue wave momentum, Wisconsin is doing the same but going a step further by not electing republicans that help trump and his disastrous agenda!
This blog will be an advocate for compassion, curiosity and human survival. When these elements of human nature are being denied, wholly, severally or individually, less than positive human traits are the outcome. It is my wish and hope that my reasonings on a variety of subjects will provide the readers of this blog with personal and public insights. My only motive is to provide a forum for advancing enlightenment. Carl Clark.
