I don’t know what to think about Vernon Jones. He supported Trump in 2016 and 2020

Seems his reputation has been attacked like this by the left for years with allegations. He always touted himself as a conservative Dem before he switched to Rep last year. We know they do this (did it to President Trump, Herman Cain, etc.). It’s the left’s MO, so I want to research it more before believing it He took a hit after his Stew Peters interview- I watched that interview and as much as I like Peters, it was felt like a hit piece, it was awful.

There are things that concern me though, I don’t like that Jones plays the race card. I have some questions about his finances. Also, he ran on a conservative platform in 2008 but I don’t see much effect of that when he was in office.

Kandiss Taylor appears to be the most conservative in the group, but she has very little name recognition. A Trump endorsement would have helped her a great deal. My concerns with her is her background in education. I know some conservative educators but not many, especially at the top. I want to dive more into her background on this - did she fight common core, for example... I plan to do more research on all of that.

Perdue is GOPe, (Kemp redux, IMO) no personality and did not lift a finger to fight voter fraud in GA, even though if those issues would have been solved, he would have won his Senate race. He was up over 6 points before GA started counting the sudden appearing “late ballots” over the next week. He said nothing, despite Georgians pleading for him to speak up, come to rallies, etc. He is not a good speaker, no energy, and I honestly can’t imagine him in a debate against Abrams.

Here he is on video last December praising Biden - https://welovetrump.com/2020/12/04/republican-senator-david-perdue-praises-bidens-ability-to-negotiate-whose-side-is-he-on/

So Kemp and Perdue are definitely out, for me. It boils down to who could beat Abrams which will require fighting tooth and nail for election integrity to ensure our vote is not stolen again. Both Taylor and Jones appear to be willing to fight so that is good. Jones can fire up a crowd and get a lot of enthusiasm but is he trustworthy.

I had really hoped Doug Collins would run. *sigh*

Thanks for the background on the GA governor candidates.

I was surprised about Trump’s endorsement of Perdue because he seemed GOPe to me.

Unless the GOP has watchers and lawyers in every district of Fulton County in the counting process, I don’t see how they can win there again.

The stops will all be pulled for Abrams because she will do what she is told by the Commies in control of the DNC.

I was really disappointed to see Trump endorse Perdue.

I think he just threw that endorsement away.

John Fredericks yesterday talked about how Purdue doesn’t like to campaign, doesn’t like mingling with the little folk, that be us, has no energy, won’t fight for anything.

Don’t think he would make a good governor in these radical times.

If he should win the Primary, I think you will be saying Governor Abrams.
