No more Rinos! I’ll vote for Vernon Jones before I’ll vote for Kemp or Perdue. Once Jones saw the light, he has been consistent.

I guess Trump will endorse him.

I like Jones though.

Purdue , or Jones have to be an improvement over Kemp. Although you never know with Republicans.

I will not be surprised if Trump does endorse Purdue but Purdue’s silence during this whole election fiasco should tell MAGA voters all they need to know. Go Vernon Go.

All reports do say that Trump is supposedly backing Perdue. But I've seen no direct evidence of such a backing.

Boy, Georgia seems to be full of RINOs who want to run for governor. They can’t seem to catch a break, except for H. Walker, and I don’t know enough about him.

Vernon Jones supports a state-wide audit. Anybody else?

I’d be surprised if Trump endorsed Perdue, since he was largely absent from the state political battlefield after November 2nd.

Kemp has stubbornly refused to call for a state audit, or any deeper look. I can not understand why, since most Georgia republican voters want one.

That he’s willing to lose his office on that one issue is damning.

Keep splitting the vote and we get Abrams.

I guess Perdue will position himself away from Kemp on the audit, and with DJTs nod, that should do it. I'd like to see Jones get behind this sooner rather than later.

With Black Jabba running it’s going to be hard to overcome the vote fraud next year. They’ve already succeeded twice.

Who’s to stop them?

With her running we’ll need to do all we can. She’s a masterful organizer at gotv. Whoever is running, even the incumbent Kemp, is facing a big uphill battle. Without Trump to distract and motivate on both sides there will be Stacy and Warnock on the ballot. Georgia Republicans might not be eager to vote. The left will leave no stone unturned for votes next year

David Perdue sat back and did nothing when his seat was stolen from him on Election Night alongside President Trump (and cheated again in the runoff he never needed). Another weak establishment guy, barely a click better than the garbage presently occupying the Governorship.
