Georgia-based attorney Lin Wood is getting lots of attention for urging supporters of President Donald Trump to break with the president and not vote for GOP Sens. David Perdue (R-GA) and Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) in the upcoming January 5 runoff elections.
Wood’s public comments run counter to President Trump’s own public statements and wishes, as the president has repeatedly urged his supporters to support Loeffler and Perdue and is heading to Valdosta, Georgia, on Saturday to rally with the GOP senators. Wood’s comments are also in line with what top national Democrats are pushing for, as Breitbart News has reported a national anti-Trump Democrat Super PAC called “Really American PAC” is running billboards carrying a message nearly identical to what Wood is saying.
While Wood made his comments purportedly as a self-described supporter of Trump, while donning a red “Make America Great Again” ball cap, the real story here is that Wood is by no means a Republican and there is no record in Georgia of him ever voting for President Trump—in 2016 or in 2020—in the Republican primaries. While Wood did vote in the 2020 and 2016 general elections in Georgia—there are no records in Georgia of him pulling a GOP primary ballot in 2016 or 2020, the two years President Trump was on the ticket. Ironically, in both the 2020 and 2016 general elections, state records show that Wood voted absentee—by mail—in Georgia, the same system he is now railing against.

Agree.
Another big mistake like that, was when Trump also supported quisling-rino Mitt Romney in his own election bid to the Senate, and helped Romney to win that election, only to have that slimebucket Romney turn around and vote to remove Trump from office by impeachment, based on obviously completely false, schiffy charges (the only Republican to do so).
It’s obvious and weak,
They want us to abandon Trump, abandon election security, and focus on electing 2 weak Senators because the Rats will control the Senate if they lose.
But what they’re clearly leaving out is Democrats will only control the Senate by way of Trump losing, and Kamala Harris serving as the Senate tiebreaker instead of Mike Pence.
So focus on Trump and election security, FIRST, if he wins, then we will have the same control they’re threatening the Democrats have, no matter what happens in the Senate races.
It is NOT about conservative purity it IS about election purity, TRUMP WON yet these two just seem to want to move on BUT expect us to get out and vote for them without them raising hell about the security of our election!!{
I’m not tearing them down at all, I said I hope they win. It’s just not nearly as big of a priority. Read post #223 for why.
My point was not about starting a litany of Trump’s mistaken support for RINOs. I was rebutting the other poster’s comments using that example as contrast.
AFAIC Trump’s mistakes have been few.
Exactly right. Perfectly aligned priorities.
You know I wasn’t talking about you don’t you?
I don’t trust Loeffler and I’m not sure about Purdue.
Assuming they win, that’s no guarantee of a bulwark against the green new deal, etc. Etc.
We have Rmoney, Collins, Murkowski, and others.
So all of your carping about putting in Marxists instead of these lukewarm Senators is straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel. It will not make a difference unless we get every Pubbie vote every time.
There are more than one or two backstabbers in the Senate.
Remember Juan McCain and his vote on Obamaocare?
That’s a wise assessment.
Agreed. I had read Sidney Powell’s book “Licensed to Lie” a few years ago, and It was utterly depressing, but left me with a very, very positive view of her.
Add Linseed Grahamnesty to the list of senate backstabbers who has already turned away from Trump and towards Biden. Long a proponent of amnesty without any arm twisting from the Dems.
You are either lying or can't read.

Trump hasn't used Wood as an attorney either.

Trump donated to both parties. Wood hasn't. What do you think that means?
(Backing Romney was a bad idea too. That's just the truth.)
OpenSecrets.org (Lin Wood donations) sorted by descending date.
Don’t forget that Rmoney stabbed Trump in the back during the 2016 election when he went on national TV and smeared him big time.
And Rmoney marched this year in a George Floyd protest.
Thanks Utah. Thanks a lot.
OK, no problems. I just didn’t want to get carried away on that point.
I think that Lin Wood like MANY other democrats like the Dem state congressman Jones standing there with Woods may HAVE BEEN a Dem BUT believes in Trump!!!
