Morning Joe Troublemakers: Trump Might Urge Georgia Voters to Write Him in For Senate
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/01/2020 11:19:16 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Morning Joe is doing its best to deliver the Senate majority to the tender mercies of the Democrats by sowing fear, loathing, and mistrust among Republican voters in Georgia.

On today's show, Joe Scarborough and Kasie Hunt floated the latest Trump conspiracy theory: that it's "entirely possible" that when President Trump goes to Georgia—ostensibly to rally support for the Republican Senate candidates in the runoff elections—he will, in fact, tell voters "write me in."

President Trump has urged Georgia voters to support Loeffler and Perdue. The notion that he would ask voters to write in his name is wishful thinking by the left.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

This is idiotic.

There is no write-in option in the runoff.

The whole point of a runoff is to narrow it down to two individuals so that one is guaranteed to get majority of the vote.

I wish people would quit spreading these Soros droppings. There are no write ins in the run off. It’s a run off. Only the top two vote getters are on the ballot with no option for any write ins of any kind.

President Trump has already said both of these seats are must wins for us and has backed Perdue and Loeffler.

There are a lot of dumb people who are regurgitating trash spreading on Twatter who don’t know the rules. Leftist Joe is one.

Much as I don’t like these two RINOs, the alternative is Senate Majority Leader Schumer, and “President” Grampers’s puppet masters and Depends changers getting everything they want.

Trump has explicitly already said not to fall for this crap. It’s just another lefty ploy to split the Republican vote.

Trump must stop putting pressure on Georgia Republican officials!

Trump must simply tell voters to stifle themselves and support the two Republican Senate candidates!

He has no business urging voters to make any demands on these candidates or on other Georgia Republican bigwigs!

The role of Republican voters is to support the candidates that the party gives them, and to like it.

Why are you opposing President Trump? He called the people posting these Twatter lies “very sick people” and said we shouldn’t play into their hands.

Here’s the transcript.

MSNBC
Morning Joe
12/1/20
6:12 am ET

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Kasie Hunt — let’s bring you in here. There’s no guarantee that Donald Trump’s not going to go down to the state of Georgia and say these Georgia people are — these Georgia Republicans are worthless. Just write my name in as your senator.

It’s a high-risk gamble, but at this point you have the RNC chairperson going down to the state of Georgia trying to get people to give money, trying to get people to organize, and they’re saying to her, well, why should we do that since the outcomes are preordained?

And here you have the same woman who has claimed that in every other state, in every other election this year that Donald Trump has lost, the process has been rigged. But now she’s saying, oh, yes, yes, all of those elections were rigged, but this one’s not rigged, even though the President of the United States keeps saying that the election system in the state of Georgia is rigged. So, I mean, what are Republicans to do who want to win these last two seats?

KASIE HUNT: It’s an impossible situation, Joe. And in some ways it’s a fitting end to four years of Republicans who have essentially have — they have ceded this ground to Donald Trump.

I mean, they have stood by, said they didn’t see the tweets, ignored what he’s been doing. And now all of a sudden he’s on his way out. They really want to hang on to power. The only way to do it is for them to deal with that impossible divide that we have talked about there, in this anvil where these voters are Trump voters. And they have punished Republicans who have gone against Donald Trump. His base has.

But on the other hand, Trump has alienated a lot of the traditional Republicans in places like the Atlanta suburbs that these Republicans also need. And they somehow have to get both of these groups of people to both go to the polls, trust the system, and also vote for these Republican Senate candidates. And it’s becoming a completely impossible task.

And you’re absolutely right. In theory, there’s been this conversations about whether the president should go down there and campaign for them. Frankly, they need those people — those voters who showed up and were there to vote for Donald Trump who otherwise don’t vote in elections, or who are new voters, new to the process. They need those people if they’re going to get these two senators re-elected.

But at the same time, these are the people who are most receptive to that message that the president is sending. What if he goes down on the stage and says: don’t vote, it’s rigged? Write me in, as you say. I mean, it’s entirely possible.

Sweet Lord. It’s no figgin wonder why we lose elections with geniuses like you on our team. “Let’s boycott the election & let Chuck Shumer control the Senate. That’ll show the establishment”. There’s a reason Trump is actively campaigning for Perdue & Loeffler- because he doesn’t want unified Commie control of government!!! 🤦🏼🙄😘

Does this murderer know that President Trump is not a resident of Georgia?

What have Purdue and Loeffler done to stop the steal of thecpresidential election?

All I know about Loeffler is that she made a mint on stock trades in the early part of covid. Congratulations to her. It’s always inspiring to see members of Congress vastly increase their wealth during their time in office. It gives us all hope that if we too can get elected to something we too can get rich. The American dream

Joe Scarborough and the rest of the media act like someone on LSD and a rollercoaster.
