TRUMP’S SPITEFUL SUPPORT FOR ABRAMS OVER KEMP SPARKS MIDTERMS FEAR FROM GEORGIA REPUBLICANS

Donald Trump is escalating his fight against Republican Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia, and state Republicans fear it will give Democrats a stronger foothold in the key swing state as next year’s midterm elections loom.

The former President’s criticism of Kemp now includes hyping Democrat Stacey Abrams as a preferable alternative to the GOP governor, whose crime against Trump was staying out of his attempt to overturn the Georgia 2020 election returns.

“Having her, I think, might be better than having your existing governor, if you want to know what I think,” Trump said Saturday at his rally in Perry, adding later, “Stacey, would you like to take his place? It’s OK with me.”

Party leaders worry a divided Georgia GOP next year could hand Democrats the governor’s mansion and help them keep a Senate seat in a year when Republicans should do well. And the former President’s quasi-endorsement of Abrams reveals the diffidence among party leaders about how to proceed.

“I think the most notable part is the quiet of everyone in the GOP in Georgia,” said Erick Erickson, an Atlanta-based talk radio host. “No one agrees with him. No one is endorsing it. But no one is vocally pushing back, either.”

I agree. Better to vote for the democrat than continue to support RINOs who are merely democrats that are 30 years late to the party.

If we are going to destroy America, why wait?

The sooner we implode the crumbling building, the sooner we can rebuild it.

It’s so quiet in Georgia. Almost as if most intelligent people realized it was sarcasm. But those super smart guys (wearing hats) realize that Trump really is supporting Abrams over her rival. (/s)

Kemp and Raffensberger are jerks. Plain and simple. Abrams is a flake, pure and simple flake....

Trump had 13 chairs at his rally. Anyone know what that was all about?

Trump is 75 years old. The Republican party will last longer than he does, and considering the alternative, it needs to. I don’t like Trump supporting the likes of Stacey Abrams. Trumps antics gave the Democrats senate seats in Georgia and made huge new spending bills and tax increases possible. He cares more about himself than the Republican party or what’s good for the country.

The 13 chairs were for the 13 soldiers killed in Afghanistan

From The Altantic regarding Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign: “[T]he press takes him literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally.”

Maybe RINO’s should take a second look in the mirror?

“The sooner we implode the crumbling building, the sooner we can rebuild it.”

It took a couple of lifetimes for communism to fall in Eastern Europe, even today its still breathing.

Pretty brilliant on his part.

Better to have a real Democrat than an ambitious Assistant Democrat.

Don’t be surprised if Stacey Abrams is the RAT’s candidate for POTUS in’24. Trump could regret his words.
