He actions thus far would indicate she’s pro Trump in this impeachment crap

But Collins is more a sure thing.

This is a northern transplant female

Probability is higher but not guaranteed she’ll go wobbly

Trust me she’s David Perdue in a skirt. How long have you lived in GA?

Six decades, excluding military service. Many friends and business associates have professional and social ties with Kelly Loeffler and Jeff Sprecher, and tell a much different story than many have been led to believe. We should be careful not to let our enemies divide us and sabotage our causes.

It is important to remember Georgia’s history. It has for most of its history been a dem state. It is only in recent years that republicans have had much power. Takes awhile for us conservatives to get their attention

We'll see how it goes til March. Just as I poop on Perdue he grows a pair and calls Romney Jeff Flake on steroids. 😆

The counties trending hard-red (the proper color for the Commies) are the ones nearest to Atlanta, and it’s due to demographic change more so than an influx of Yankees.

The invasion in formerly nice areas of Cobb, Gwinnett, etc. is from the Atlanta ghetto and from “south of the border” much more than from north of the Mason-Dixon line.

BTW, Fulton County as of 2018 had 793,970 registered voters according to the GA SOS office — and only 791,630 residents 18 year old or over according to the Census Bureau. The surrounding counties are similar but not as obviously frauded up though in some GA counties there are many more than 100% of adults on the voting rolls.

Hasn’t that fatass Oprah-wannabe down in Georgia been whining about “voter suppression” ever since she lost? Doesn’t look like anyone’s being “suppressed” in the Atlanta-area ghetto counties as far as I can see; far from it. The good areas in Georgia better get their voters registered and turned out big time in November.

Brian Kemp might be the most Conservative governor in America.

How is it that conservative Brian Kemp fared well in the statewide election but somehow conservatives Doug Collins wouldn’t?

That’s a great question. Kemp won the general election over Stacey Abrams by the skin of his teeth, and the close result exposed a problem with suburban female voters. In my opinion, Doug Collins would not perform as well in that demographic as Kelly Loeffler. Bur even if he did, Loeffler’s lack of dependence on fund raising would tip the scales in her favor, given the daunting task of two statewide elections in two years in a state of 10 million people.

No one wants a nasty primary, but I’m not adverse to a primary in general.

I am undecided as of now. I have seen no indication that she’s scum that needs to be eradicated. So it will probably come down to electabilty to me, unless she shows indications she’s scum.

She’s not entitled to the nomination, but neither is Collins. All signs were Trump wanted Collins but it was the Governor’s call. And ultimately will be the voter’s call.

A bigger priority for Trump should be Alabama and Kansas. Where he should oppose dickwad Jeffy and proven loser Kobach.

The worry is that the lady Senator from GA will vote like Jesse Helms until the primary election and then like Susan Collins from the day after.

"A bigger priority for Trump should be Alabama and Kansas. Where he should oppose dickwad Jeffy and proven loser Kobach RINOs Marshall & Wagle."

Fixed that for you. Aherm.

Primaries against an incumbent are sometimes justified. Why is that the case here?

No argument there.

I’m not sure it is justified, as I said I see nothing wrong with her so far.

But being appointed rather than elected, I don’t think she’s necessarily entitled to a free pass at the nomination either.

In most cases I would agree with you. But this is a jungle primary and having two Republicans in an acrimonious fight helps nobody but the Democrats.

I forgot about that damn jungle primary. I hate those things.

And I hate special elections with different rules than regular ones. Like party bosses in NY getting to appoint the nominee for Chris Collins seat.

Kobach will lose that seat.

Collins now a goner. Rs gonna stay home.

Loeffler apparently knows which side of the bread must be buttered. I am NOT worried about her.

McSally has gained a little ground, as has Cory Gardner in the impeachment.

But we could VERY easily end up 52-48 on election day if Kobach is the candidate, Collins, Gardner, McSally all lose, and James doesn’t come through. Right now, I think we’ll be lucky to come out 51-49, meaning Minion and MurCowSki will be the kingmakers.

Right now, Loeffler “appears” to be the least of our worries. She has come through “so far” on the impeachment issue.

We are looking at a bigger problem in KS, where Kobach would lose the general; in ME where idiot Collins has just lost her reelect by causing Rs to stay home; in CO where Gardner has somewhat improved by virtue of his impeachment vote; and in AZ, where McSally still trails.

We could very well end up losing a net of four seats and that’s WITH John James winning. I do take the AL seat for granted.

Since Roy Moore is polling in the joke candidate range I feel better about Alabama as well. Kansas need to get behind Roger Marshall.

I don’t believe Kobach will lose that seat. If we have to resort to nominating RINO mediocrities like Roger Marshall instead of putting up our most talented Conservative leaders like Kris Kobach, then we don’t deserve to win.
