What Went Wrong with the GOP in Georgia
Newsweek ^ | 1/7/2021 | Newt Gingrich

As a Republican who began his volunteer activities in Georgia in the 1960 Richard Nixon-Henry Lodge campaign (I was in high school and there was such a small Georgia GOP that everyone was welcome), I think it is necessary to have the courage to face the depth and scale of Tuesday's disaster in Georgia.

Many Republicans will try to avoid the scale of Tuesday's defeat, but that would be an enormous mistake.

The GOP is dead.

It died yesterday.

The day before that was just the predictable outcome of the new regime, brought to you by the ruling dictators of the New Amerika. They even “disappeared” their first victim - Ashli Babbitt.

There will be many more to follow.

Exactly right. They ran the same plays that won them the last game. It also helped to have the referees on your side.

To talk about the scale of the “Republican Defeat” is to accept that it was a fair election, and it was not.

It is unlikely I will vote Republican again, if at all. I will not be part of this charade.

“What went wrong...”

Dominion machines and FRAUD!

We could have had a record turnout of EVERY REGISTERED Republican in Ga. and you cannot beat a rigged machine, just like in Vegas.

True. Those extra five weeks of “campaigning by telephone messages” was ONLY successful in sending more money to the advertisers and political consultants running campaigns and funding advertisers and phone call (automated) robo-calls.

After 8 weeks of 16-20 calls and messages a day, even I was sick of them.

Never heard a positive word from either GROPE candidates about “Freedom” or “Fighting Washington’s” illegal acts.

But Kemp-Rat’s work and words were uniformly, consistently AGAINST Trump and EVERY action or claim of Nov voter fraud. “THEY” were responsible for allowing the democrats to repeat the illegal vote-counting and ballot box packing-by-drop-in-ballots that worked in Nov against Trump. NOTHING was done to avoid fraud in Fulton-DeKalb counties by the same democrat groups that did it in Nov!

It helps even more when your opponent lets you play with more players.

Kemp needs to be gone from office as well as his corrupt China puppet secretary of state.

“No politician will ever be legitimate ever again.“

Yep. They are no longer hiding the fact that we have a RULING class and that elections are all for show - to let the little people THINK they have a say.

We can’t vote ourselves out of this, folks.

You can’t “primary the hell” out of a FIXED voting system - put in place and run by the very people on the ballots.

The GOP died durning the Obama years but Trump was able to breath new life in it. But Mitch and others insisted on killing it again. The GOP is about as useful now as a screen door on a Submarine.

Let's not forget the Libertarian candidate that ran against Perdue in November:

Shane T. Hazel got 115,039 and 2.32% of the vote.

That didn't help. Perdue missed the 50% he needed by .27% - About 1/4 of 1%.

Thanks a lot Shane.
