Top Senate Republicans are warning Rep. Doug Collins that running against Sen. Kelly Loeffler in Georgia’s special Senate primary could pave the way for an otherwise unlikely Democratic sweep in the state in November.
”The shortsightedness in this decision is stunning. Doug Collins’ selfishness will hurt David Perdue, Kelly Loeffler, and President Trump," National Republican Senatorial Committee Executive Director Kevin McLaughlin said in a statement.
Collins, a Trump ally and part of his impeachment defense team, announced his Senate candidacy on Wednesday. He was passed over for an appointment to the Senate by Gov. Brian Kemp after Johnny Isakson resigned at the end of last year.
"For months, I have given serious deliberation to the role I should serve that would best benefit GA, the country and @realDonaldTrump," he tweeted. "Today, I have officially launched my campaign for Senate to do just that."
Collins addressed concerns that he and Loeffler may "tear each other apart and open up the seat for a Democrat."
"We are not concerned about that at all. I’m concerned about going for the people of Georgia," he said. "We just need to have a process that lets people decide, lets them choose for themselves how they want to see this vision. I think we fought for the president, we fought for our state, and we fought for this country. And we're going to continue to do that. I look forward to a good exchange of ideas and look forward to this election."

“How she behaves during those few months may not necessarily be any indication of how she may behave if elected to a full term. We know how Doug Collins will behave. He has left no room for doubt.”
that is exactly why Doug will be getting my vote in the primary. She has been better than expected, but doesn’t have much of a track record.
Thanks a little elbow grease.
Who do you think co-sponsored the criminal justice reform bill with Hakeem Jeffries (impeachment manger) ? — Doug Collins
The point here is not that Collins or Loeffler is a going to be a huge RINO but there’s plenty of stuff to dig up on both sides that they’ll be pointing to accuse the other of being a squishy and not conservative enough.
Thank you...a lady freepers instinct is correct here
Loeffler is butching up for this primary
She’s not nearly as solid as Collins is
Collins is a Gohmert
Read more about Loeffler
She’s a moderate
That was the strategy for picking her
Appeal to Atlanta area female voters
Collins is for sure more solid
X10
Have you read her life history
She marries a very rich plain looking guy much older and he paves the way for her to claim fame
Is she capable....hell yes...in many ways obviously
Is she one of us?
She’s pretending to me for now.....
Collins is much more solid
The governor picked her as a MOTR choice to appeal to girl voters especially in Atlanta metro which is over half the states population now
I know you mean well but she’s wobbly
What u said.
She’s just wobbly, do freepers not read anymore or just look at her great hair and long legs
So she is the spouse of a globalist. By the way the corp. that runs the NY stock exchange is Atlanta based. Imagine if they moved the running of the NY stock exchange to Atlanta....
That won’t happen
She and Collins will likely split over 65% of the votes
Virginia was invaded by self righteous do folder Yankees...yet again.....
It’s a lost cause....get it?
U have to admit pretty clever for an old man with the flu
Alabama was invaded by suburban estrogen
And gave us Dougie
Trump was wrong to endorse Luther Strange ...that’s where that battle was lost
Her business donates a ton to Planned Parenthood
For starters
She kissing Trump ass cause she knows she has to
Don’t be fooled
By her handsomeness and long legs
No, it's OK. Always good advice to be suspicious of politicians.
Always.
She’s definitely an attractive candidate
That never hurts getting elected
I suspect the answer is: NONE.
You're making the same (mistaken, in my opinion) statement about Alabama. Trump endorsed Luther Strange because he was an incumbent Republican who had voted 100% for the bills Trump supported.
I think a lot of people look at these current and prospective Senators and assess them based only on what they see when these people have face time on TV.
For starters
She kissing Trump ass cause she knows she has to
Don’t be fooled
By her handsomeness and long legs

With those long fingers the piano ought to be easy for her.
Salient points
Trump endorsed Strange to make nice with Mitch for judges
Important
Loeffler is wobbly but not Murk wobbly I agree
She’s a very ambitious woman...she’ll be Trumps best pal as long as it empowers her I reckon
I do think she can beat the woman from Good Times
Actually .that actress was a fine woman
Abrams isn’t
