I’m from a neighboring state, but Perdue ran in 2020 for Senate. Did he make a stand against election fraud or did he allow them to steal it in front of his face? Choosing between Perdue and Kemp isn’t really a choice at all. They’re the same type of Republican.
Why on God’s green earth Trump couldn’t have endorsed Vernon Jones and brought this home is beyond me.
This entire fumble is Trump’s self-inflicted wound.
Trumps self inflicted wound…

Needs a better message
He did not. The crowd at the last Trump rally before Jan 6 shouted at him “stand with Trump”. He was practically shouted off the stage. He was on video around that time affirming Biden as president during an interview. The same steal that affected Trump, also affected him - he was up 2 points the day after the Nov 2020 election before Raffensperger announced the “late ballots to be counted” which of course went to Biden by around 90%.
He did not participate in any debates when running for senate, and I haven’t seen one commercial from him against Kemp. Meanwhile, Kemp has been running commercials talking about Perdue wanting to outsource GA jobs - which is exactly what Kemp did. He is neck deep in deals and partnerships with China.
We have ONE conservative choice in GA now - Kandiss Taylor. Trump should have gotten behind her. Or Vernon Jones. He had fire and I believe he would have wiped the floor with Abrams. Kandiss and her team have been working hard, boots on the ground, but of course. She has been completely suppressed by the GOP, and not even allowed to participate in 2 of the debates.
I just hate this. I don’t want to vote for Perdue, but I also don’t want Kemp in there.
I don’t think either will beat Abrams because neither will fight the fraud that will get her elected. We’ve already seen that.
The whole thing STINKS. Once again, RINOs foisted upon us.
There’s more to it, but Kemp was stung by Trump’s reaction to his reopening of Georgia. I think Trump shot from the hip, he was under pressure to show strength and he left Kemp dangling by a thread. This was wrong-footed by Trump, we see now that he should have been supportive of Kemp’s action. And even worse, he didn’t retract it when Kemp was proven right.
This had to play some part in Kemp’s reluctance to examine Fulton County. If Trump had been more supportive of Kemp in May 2020, Kemp might have been more supportive is November 2020. I can’t bring myself to vote for him, and he may very well lose to Abrams in the general.
But his actions (or non-actions) towards the 2020 election have pleased a lot of Atlanta Democrats, and they will vote for him in the open primary.
Trump seems to have a propensity for self-inflicted disasters..
“Why on God’s green earth Trump couldn’t have endorsed Vernon Jones and brought this home is beyond me.”
For the same reason he endorsed Dr Odd the liberal loser in PA. Trump supports people that like him, not those that can win in Nov.
“Why on God’s green earth Trump couldn’t have endorsed Vernon Jones and brought this home is beyond me.”
Good point. Love me some Trump, but sometimes his personnel choices, including endorsements, are...puzzling. Think Oz.
I'm from PA, where Trump endorsed Oz, a Muslim, globalist, RINO for Toomey's U.S. Senate seat. Bear in mind that there are solid conservative, America-first, Christian republicans running for the Toomey seat.
There was a Trump rally last night in western PA where Trump had people with Oz signs sitting in the camera background. When Oz spoke the cameras panned for a short time into the crowd and there was ZERO excitement, animation or applause. PA MAGA republicans do not support Oz - period!
All I can say is that Trump DOESN'T know how to pick em!
