Sadly, I think you’re right.
While Jody Hice didn’t do much as far as campaigning, one would have thought anyone could have beat Raffensberger. Rafffensberger was polling in the 20s and somehow, on Election Day, defied the odds to pull out a win.
Folks talk about Walker, Perdue, Hice being a lousy candidates. They weren’t that lousy.
The Machine needed warnock so Warnock won.
The Machine needed Kemp and Raffensberger so they won. Those two are doing the bidding of the Machine and can do it easier than Abrams and whoever ran against Raffensberger could, because they have little opposition from state Republicans. Abrams would have to fight tooth and nail against a solid Republican majority.
But Kemp is doing his best to tilt the demographics. Georgia will soon be solid Purple, with statewide office going to Democrats, and the rest being Republican. It’ll start looking like Wisconsin. Which is exactly what the Machine wants.
And Rafdemsbergernisnteying to push RCV and winners only need a plurality, instead of 50+%, to win. He says it’ll save money wasted on run offs.
Jody Hice was my Rep. before redistricting. He was close to room temperature but NEVER was vocal or proactive.
I have Andrew Clyde now. He is closer to room temperature, but once again, not working for his constituents as hard as he should be.
