Exclusive — Republican Doug Collins Mulling Bid Against Democrat Raphael Warnock in Georgia
Breitbart ^ | January 21 2021

Posted on 01/21/2021 11:59:59 PM PST by knighthawk

Former Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) is seriously considering running again for the U.S. Senate in Georgia in 2022, a source with knowledge of his plans told Breitbart News exclusively.

Collins would, if he runs, face off against Democrat Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), who was just sworn in after winning one of the two runoffs in Georgia on Jan. 5. Warnock, and his fellow Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), were sworn in on Wednesday by Vice President Kamala Harris. Their wins handed control of the U.S. Senate to the Democrats for the first time since they lost it in 2014, during former President Barack Obama’s administration, albeit with a tight 50-50 split that becomes a majority because of Harris breaking the tie.

Total waste of time/resources. GOP in Georgia is compromised from the governor on down to the next hundred-odd characters.

Would be a wiser move for Collins to pack up and move to Alaska, to compete against Murkowski.

What a defeatist.

You do not win by giving up.

You do not take control of the Senate by refusing to run a popular, conservative candidate for the Senate, against an unpopular, radical leftist/communist.

Mulling, its what republican politicians do. Mulling rarely transitions to the taking action phase.

The election machine (the counting of votes) is demonstrated as compromised and will undergo no repair by 2022. You’d have to have some massive federal investigation with hundreds of people going off to prison to reset the counting system. Using the FBI for that? Won’t happen.

I’m not a defeatist, but when you measure time, effort and funding...within a corrupted system, why waste anything? I still see around around 44 states that run a uncompromised voting apparatus....use them instead.

Collins has the guts. The question is can he defeat the GOP Rino Gov and Secy of State and their Democrat Party supporters?

He will need to organize a young and hungry army of staff and volunteers, plus getting the “old geezers brigades” back in action on their feet and out into the public.

He will also have to pick which one of the two reds to oppose. Warnock’s andti-white and anti-Semitism might be one of his weakspots and Ossoff’s pure Marxism is his weakspot.

IF Collins can get his act together, well funded, organized and led, and then into action, he could pull it off.

I am sure that both Warnock and Ossoff’s Marxism and anti-white hatred will surface more into the congressional season and the public will see them for who they really are, hatemongers, Marxists, frauds, and enemies of America and the Constitution.

I say, Doug: “Go for it”.

It’s realism to say that the elections are fixed. To run in the same system is insanity. They stole everything in sight in Georgia. You think it will magically fix itself for Collins?

Nothing changes with what you suggest, so knock off the bullying and calling people quitters for recognizing fraud. Vote, vote vote = Lose, lose lose. We’ve got to to get some kind of reform going somehow, and with the current gang of crooks who just robbed the equivalent of a thousand banks this election, that won’t be happening.

“Go for it”

No one can defeat election fraud. It’s over. Red Georgia should put energy into seceding into Florida or their own state if they actually want Representin’.

Sarah Palin would be a much better choice for that Alaska U.S. Senate seat. It won’t matter that much, because elections are no longer fair.

If Doug Collins can't WIN in Georgia then I guarantee you the entire VOTING SYSTEM is still rigged.

Stacey Abrams will be running in 2022 to claim her governorship from Kemp. The fraud will be Extra Value Meal supervised (to say nothing of Stacey’s lunch). If you don’t think they’ve already started stuffing voter rolls and absentee ballot lists for 2022 you’re kidding yourself.
