A good chunk of Trump’s success no doubt comes from his popularity and influence with his voters, but he also appears to back frontrunners to goose his record.
Lotta twerking going on in Atlanta....
He backed Purdue knowing Purdue would lose. But he didn't want Kemp to have a free ride.
I doubt that.
“Herschel Walker needs to put as much space between him and Kemp as possible.”
To me that is like saying Kemp is more likely to lose against Stacey Abrams than Walker is against Warnock. Somehow THAT does not make sense to me. Unless enough voters see something really agregious about the incumbent, the incumbent usually has an electoral advantage against a contender. That puts Kemp and Warnock at some level of advantage over Abrams and Walker.
I think Kemp can win over Abrams. And I think he and Walker can help each other, and it would be good for a GOP Governor Kemp to have GOP Walker in the U.S. Senate. I think the two of them ought to recognize that.
Sometimes I think Trump could take some lessons from Richard Nixon, how he handled his loss to JFK in an election that had its own electoral issues and questions, and how he managed his comeback. I know how much the mess of the 2020 election weighs on Trump. I also know that Trump won in 2016 looking forward more than looking back, talking about what we can do not what might have been. Looking ahead at what we can do more than looking back at what might have been has usually made more successful POTUS campaigns, for either party, because it presents a positive attitude more than a negative one. I think that is going to win for Kemp over Abrams. Some think our priority is still to complain, but I think our priority is winning.
Thank you, Newt.
A dose of reality, in the deluge of Fake News attempts.
I can see why some Republicans voted for Kemp. When he was one of the first governors to begin to open Georgia in the early months of the pandemic, I was shocked when Trump loudly and publicly attacked him for doing so. Georgians probably liked having the tight lockdowns begin to disappear. Ever since then, there has been a personal feud leading to egregious political decisions in Georgia resulting in loss of 2 Senate seats tilting the Senate to the Dems.
I cannot understand, however, any Republican voting for Rathlesburger. His victory must be due to crossover votes in this open primary state. Open primaries are disgusting. Why should the other team be allowed to choose your team's lineup? Why don't Republicans fight to eliminate open primaries?
I would like to see a comparison of the percentages of the vote for Rat'ger in heavily Dem districts vs his percentages in heavily Republican districts.
Might happen. Several cities, Atlanta metro, like to think like Los Angeles of the South.
Trump’s man in GA (Purdue) lost because Trump’s endorsement wasn’t based on support for MEGA Policies, it was given for a vindictive purpose. Trump’s policies won in GA, but people, including me, are getting a little tired of Trump putting his ego above what’s good for the country.
I voted for Trump twice and love his policies. Yes, he got screwed, but if he wants to continue to be a significant factor in the future he needs to get over it and stop the vindictive crap that spits the party. That’s not real leadership. If he doesn’t support Kemp in the general, he is saying “I’m willing to turn GA over to Abrams in order to pursue a personal vendetta. If he does that, I’m done with him. I’ll hope like hell that Desantis runs in 2024.

Oh stop it. You should have voted for Trump’s pick regardless you fool. You gave comfort to the enemy. I hope you enjoy the black Hippo aa your guv because she is going to now win.

It’s nice that you are so confident, but the leftist rag AJC is reporting that at least 7% of Raffensperger votes were Dems voting for him in the primary, meaning much of Kemp’s are as well. If the AJC is saying 7%, you can bet the numbers are double or triple that.
We have open primaries in GA, a ridiculous setup that allows the Dems to choose who they want to run against in November.
Throw in the cheat machine, Abram’s ballot harvesting expertise, a corrupt SOS and judges who refuse to hear cases, and I expect she is pretty much a shoe-in. Georgia has become California.
A warning to others - if you think your “red” state is immune, you need to take heed of what is happening in GA and pay really close attention from your state government all the way to your precinct election officials and judges. The Dems no doubt have their sites on other states to flip blue.
He now has the power of incumbency, and it is painfully obvious by the way he mud-stomped Perdue.
The way Kemp picked Casey Cagle's pocket in 2018, most of those Perdue voters will come home to Kemp in November (minus the handful of GA Freepers).
Even with less than 80% of Perdue's group, and accounting for the 7% of Democrats going back home to Jemima, still puts Kemp on target for 51-52% in November, meanwhile Jemima will struggle to get over 48%.
This is backed up by political history for an incumbent governor to hold this much sway over a rematch candidate (a new [non-fat] Democrat face would have had a better chance), in a non-presidential election year.
You cannot predict anything for 2022 based on 2018 numbers. 2018 was pre drop boxes, pre Abram’s ballot harvesting stronghold, pre-ACLU contracts for election supervision, not pre dominion but pre “upgraded dominion” and adjudication loop holes used in 2020, pre consent decree for signature matching, and pre COVID with its enormous mail in ballots, and pre democrat friendly judges poised to throw out every election contest. I could go on.
We will see, won’t we?
If he wants MAGA votes he will not only have to kneel down kiss Trump’s ring - he will also have to change his tune on November 3.
MAGA voters aren’t going to vote for anyone who publicly says that election was fair and honest.
