Georgia GOP Gov. Brian Kemp says Trump 'didn't do a good enough job' of making the case for a second term in 2020
Business Insider ^ | Jan 14, 2023 | John L. Dorman

For nearly two years, former President Donald Trump criticized Republican Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia for not helping him overturn now-President Joe Biden's victory in the Southern swing state in the 2020 election.

In advance of the 2022 midterms, Trump even recruited former Sen. David Perdue to run against Kemp in the GOP gubernatorial primary, but the governor defeated him landslide — a reflection of his strength among Peach State conservatives.

And in the November general election, Kemp defeated his Democratic archrival Stacey Abrams by nearly eight points, winning by nearly 300,000 votes — a marked improvement over his roughly 55,000-vote victory against the former state lawmaker in the 2018 gubernatorial contest.

During last year's campaign, Kemp — who was once an ally of Trump — largely avoided talking about the former president.

Trump allowed himself to be he issue in 2020 rather than run on his record. He badly mismanaged his campaign and kept taking bate from Democrats.

He lost 2022 and will lose 2024 with his obsession over 2020 rather than doing the work to rehabilitate himself with voters. Tell me the virtual trading cards weren’t a joke to you? He’s toast. We need to find someone else to defeat Joe.

Hard to say. Might be better to let Stacy Abrams so the Republicans in Georgia would do a better job organizing the next time?

It doesn't work that way here.   Most of the Republicans in Georgia are former Democrats.     Their parents were dyed-in-the-wool Yellow Dog Democrats.   Stacy Abrams as governor would have done more to change our state "as we know it" than Satan himself.   But wait, he acts through her, so it would be the same.

He's an idiot when it comes to politics. Take his personality out of it, people agrees with his record. CNN was happy to paint him as the "bad guy" and it worked.

No matter how many votes President Trump would have gotten, the Rats would have “found” more.

Same for 2024

Kemp is at the WEF w Whitmer. Unless he is crashing it, he ceases to matter. Note crashing, not cashing in.

Let's say John Doe is leading in Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania. The election officials will just look at their voting rolls, see who haven't voted. Then they will manufacture their votes and make sure Biden wins by whatever he needs to ensure he will get the victory.
