As great as McConnell has been on judges and navigating the impeachment circus (and he had to or he'd be toast with conservatives in Kentucky), he plays dirty when it comes to members of HIS senate.
That is, the people themselves SHALL NOT be involved in choosing their own representative to the Senate. The candidates shall be chosen ahead of time by the oligarchs, or appointed, and once appointed - protected.
We've seen this time and time again. We have to deal with the insufferable Lisa Murkowski, for example, due to this same "protect the appointed incumbent" crap.
And once safely elected, watch Kelly Loeffler repay her benefactors with votes according to their wishes.

If Cocaine Mitch wants Loeffler, Collins has to play ball. Or see the seat go to a Democrat.

You know zipola about GA politics. Doug Collins was the favorite for that senate seat all along. Nobody here ever heard of Loeffler til all of a sudden Kemp thrust her on us and then practically the next day she gets appointed to the Senate Agricultural Committee which oversees her husband's business. Even that commie rag the AJC has run two negative articles about it. 😆 Now she is spending millions on these wooden tv ads where she looks like a prisoner of war reading enemy propaganda. Her likeability factor is zero.😆 Doug Collins knew he would get shunned by the RNC. I dont know anybody that is voting for Loeffler. This will likely go to a runoff. Some black Democrat preacher is running but I dont see him getting that much of the vote.

Hopefully, the citizens of Georgia will ignore the Swamp apparatus.

COLLINS HAS EARNED THE RIGHT TO RUN AND GET SUPPORT OF GOP.
HE HAS STOOD UP, AND NEEDS TO BE REWARDED. WE NEED FIGHTERS.

"Loeffler certainly has powerful friends in her bid to fend off Collins' right-flank challenge. The Club for Growth has put $3 million into TV and digital ads" BZZZZT. That right there ^^^ oughta be the first thing that anyone who votes in Georgia needs to know.

So Kemp sold Session's Senate seat? It seems like there was a governor in Illinois went to prison for doing the same with Obama's seat.

GOPe wanted Loeffler and that’s who they got it sucks but I think Collins should stay in the House he’s doing great work there. We cannot have another Jones.

RINOS here in Alabama are doing the same to Tommy Tuberville.

I should have read your post first. Now that I have I feel differently. I would love to see Collins in the Senate. Is Georgia a runoff state?
To: cotton1706
I love Doug. He is a terrific warrior for Trump, but he needs to step back on this one. First of all he is needed in the house, second he needs to work on getting Mitches endorsement. If he is smart (and he is) he will go talk to Mitch and tell him he will wait if, when the time come, he can get Mitchs backing.

I haven't seen the ads but the radio ads are terrible. She has no conviction when she speaks. It's just like her introductory speech when Kemp selected her. I didn't know about the Ag appointment. Not good.
She'll probably lose and if she squeaks out a victory (maybe on Trump's coat tails) I can easily see her being one term. That said, I don't know if I'll support Collins instead.
Don't underestimate the preacher. He'll be a firebrand on the campaign trail and as you aptly say she comes off like a POW reading propaganda. She's a mess.

Exactly. My feeling is he’s needed in the house too. I’m annoyed Kemp chose Laoeffler who comes across as completely insincere.

Jeff Sessions is in Alabama. Kemp sold Isaksons seat.

“Don’t underestimate the preacher.”
We very nearly lost the Georgia Governor race to that idiot woman. So you are right take him very seriously.
