His main positive traits were, he was well known in Georgia and was endorsed by Trump, other than that, getting Trump’s endorsement is not enough in many cases in statewide general elections, he was a terrible candidate.

When will everyone start to realize that Trump’s endorsement is good for a primary win only. As much as he energizes the Trump Tribe to vote for his preferred candidate in the primary, in the general he energizes to the max the Dimocrat horde and independents turned off by his name calling BS. Just look at 2018, 2020, 2022 for evidence.
Yeah, there’s cheating too. I get it. But Trump makes it easy by bringing out the leftards in such numbers that they have to cheat less, if at all.
And BTW when listing bad Republican candidates endorsed by Trump add Dan Cox for Governor of MD. Trump endorsed Cox to spite Hogan. Cox was a pathetic candidate for MD. Hogan wasn’t a conservative’s dream, but he was far better than what Martoon O’Malley was and what the current Dim Governor is.
That’s what a lot of these 100% MAGA supporters think, if they aren’t 100% pro-Trump the are a POS who they would never vote for and anyone endorsed by Trump is automatically a great candidate
For thinking that way we get the Rafael Warlock’s of the world
If the candidate is really good a Trump endorsement is good but if the candidate is terrible they get destroyed especially in statewide elections
One of the negative things that Trump has convinced his supporters to believe is that any MAGA candidate endorsed by him is cheated if they lose, despite a mountain of evidence otherwise.
Georgia is a perfect example, Kemp and Raffensberger both defeated Trump endorsed opponents in the primary and both easily won reelection, the Trump endorsed candidates all lost.
Yet, all the Trump supporters believe that’s proof that Kemp has rigged the system getting himself reelected along with Kemp’s supporters
They totally support Kari Lake telling McCain Supporters to “get the hell out” of her rallies, Lake lost by 16,000 votes, how many of those 16,000 votes were a result of her actions to turn off a significant number of former McCain supporters, you don’t have to support or like McCain, but you can’t alienate his supporters in a state that is evenly divided.
