Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
So, why aren’t the Democrat Party’s favorite “rising star” loooooosers running for the senate in 2020?– That is a question that is on a lot of people’s minds today, especially in Georgia and Texas.
In case you missed it yesterday, Georgia Republican Senator Johnny Isakson announced he would resign his seat at the end of this year, meaning that Governor Brian Kemp will be able to appoint his successor. However, although Isakson would not have been up for re-election until 2022, Georgia law requires the holding of a special election in November, 2020 to determine who will get to serve the final two years of his term. That means that both Georgia senate seats will be on the ballot in 2020, as Republican incumbent Sonny Perdue is also up for re-election.
All of which makes many Georgia Democrats long for the second coming of their beloved loooooooser, Stacey Abrams. Abrams, if you’ll remember, lost her run for governor to Kemp last November by 56,000 votes, but has been running around the country ever since then claiming to be the rightful governor of Georgia. That utterly false claim has been echoed by pretty much every prominent Democrat in the country, everyone of whom fully knows they’re lying.
But hey, they’re Democrats. That’s what they do.
Abrams has been roundly characterized by our fake news media as one of the Democrats’ most promising “rising stars.” She was given the role of responding to President Trump’s State of the Union Address, a role in which she proved to be a rank mediocrity. She has been rumored to be a shoe-in to be Joe Biden’s running mate in 2020, assuming the nation’s Unfrozen Caveman Senator still knows who he is a year from now.
So, you’ll have to excuse Georgia Democrats today if they’re all sitting around wondering, “Where’s our Stacey?” They’ve got not one, but two open senate seats now, and Stacey’s nowhere to be found. Indeed, within moments of Isakson’s announcement on Wednesday, an Abrams spokesperson made it very clear that “Leader Abrams” would not be running for his seat, just as she will not be running for Perdue’s seat.
The spokesperson gave us no idea as to what Abrams is actually the “Leader” of, other than her nascent effort to create even more vote fraud opportunities for Democrats in Georgia and all over the country. The spokesperson also did not elaborate on the reasons why Abrams refuses to run.
But the answer is clear: Abrams and her fellow Democrats cleared out every cemetery and drove every illegal alien in Georgia to the polls in 2018, and she still got clobbered by Kemp. If she thought she could win one of these senate seats, she would run. But she has no confidence that she could win either seat, or indeed any statewide election in Georgia.
Abrams also knows one of the most rigid laws of politics: a person can lose one statewide election in any given state and live to fight another day; indeed, you can even be your party’s fantasy hero. But lose two statewide elections in a span of two years, and your career as a viable political figure is well and truly done.
She’s a Democrat, so she’d much rather be the “Leader” of the next iteration of the famous voter-fraud factory ACORN for the next few years and see how things shape up in 2024, 2026 and beyond. It’s the only smart play she has.
We see the exact same dynamic at work with Irish Bob O’Rourke in Texas. O’Rourke’s pathetic presidential campaign has been dead in the water for four solid months now despite his continuing very strong fundraising efforts, yet he still plugs along, embarrassing himself on the national stage 3 or 4 times each week.
Meanwhile, incumbent Republican Senator John Cornyn is up for re-election in 2020, and he has yet to draw anything resembling a credible opponent from the Texas Democrat Party. Of course, that’s mainly because Irish Bob is the only thing resembling a credible opponent the Texas Democrat Party actually has on its roster.
But how credible would he be this time around? It’s obviously a question the clownish ex-congressman runs around in his own mind these days. We have to remember that, while he managed to come within 3% of beating Ted Cruz in 2018, Sen. Cruz is far less popular and far more controversial in Texas than Cornyn is. Running against Cornyn would be much more like challenging Gov. Greg Abbott, who easily won his own re-election campaign in 2018 by a comfortable 12 points.
And what about money? Would Irish Bob be able to raise another $80 million from all of his California supporters for a run against Cornyn? You can bet Cornyn won’t get caught flat-footed on that money situation like Cruz did last year, when O’Rourke was able to out-spend him by a 3 to 1 margin.
So again, Irish Bob was able to remain viable after losing one statewide election, so viable that, as late as January, it was reasonable to consider him among the favorites to win the Democrat nomination. But go back and lose a second statewide election, and Irish Bob would have a very hard time even going back to El Paso and trying to win back his old congressional seat.
So that’s why you folks in Georgia and Texas won’t be seeing the Democrat Party’s favorite looooooooooooser “rising stars” on the 2020 ballot. Far better to to be a fantasy “star” and live to fight another day than to be a two-time statewide loooooooooser with nowhere to go but down.
That is all.
Yeb’s banana headed kid should run against Cornhole as a Dem.
Because facts don’t matter to a narcissist.
Abrams got clobbered by Kemp.
She's an insufferable loser and knows she cannot win any statewide elections in Georgia.
Abrams knows the laws of politics: lose two statewide elections in a row and you're a cooked goose
She’s a greedy Democrat with massive debts so she’s focused on making money from her losses.
She connivingly started a n/p and nominated herself the “Leader” and chief money-grubber for years to come.
Ignorant writer. Sonny Perdue is not Senator. DAVID Perdue is Georgia’s Senator.
David Perdue is the Senator
Sonny Perdue is Sec of Agriculture
And there was lots of voter fraud.
L-o-t-s........
Sonny Perdue is Sec of Agriculture
Which one owns this?
Boaff a dem
>>Sen. Cruz is far less popular and far more controversial in Texas than Cornyn is.
Eh, Cornyn is a known squish.
>>Sen. Cruz is far less popular and far more controversial in Texas than Cornyn is.
That one wasn’t registering to well with me also.
“Meanwhile, incumbent Republican Senator John Cornyn is up for re-election in 2020, and he has yet to draw anything resembling a credible opponent from the Texas Democrat Party. “
I would like to see Henry Cuellar run against Cornyn. That would be a good matchup.
We’re well into the 2020 campaign and the GA Dems have not named an opponent to Sen. David Perdue. Now they have to come up with another Senate candidate.
I’m in GA and can’t think of a well known Dem who could be the Senate candidate. GA Dems were having trouble finding one candidate, now they have to find two candidates. Stacey was their last and best hope.
Vote fraud works best when there is low turnout. i think 2020 will show the biggest election turnout EVER.
I always used to say of Alan Keyes (and can now say of Corey Lewandowski) “He won’t ever run for a seat he could win.”
Keyes was forever moving (from MD to IL) to make senate runs rather than running for a House seat and proving himself. That was for two reasons. First, if he won a House seat, inevitably he’d have to take positions on actual bills that are never perfect (i.e., raising the debt limit—but that includes funding the military, etc). So he would always run for the senate seat which even a GOOD candidate in those states has trouble winning.
Betamale is the same way. He might win a House seat, but that’s beneath him as this icon of the American left.
Excellent observation on Keyes. Suckered me into contributing and working on one of his campaigns. Once.
‘Well, at least you won’t have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore’ 1962 after losing the CA governor’s race
And what was the other purpose of his “runs?” Money. This funded him to stay in the public eye, run around and make speeches as a “presidential candidate,” etc.
