Warnock wins in Georgia

CNN ^ | December 6, 2022

[Republicans 2016 2020]

Senator Raphael Warnock, whose victory in a 2021 runoff helped Democrats gain control of the Senate and made him the first Black senator from Georgia, is again facing a runoff election. This time, he is vying against Herschel Walker, a former football star and Trump-backed Republican.

They may not be able to pack the court, but they can abolish the filibuster.

Prayer helps.

And ceasing to address fellow FReepers in an unChristian-like tone, (in line with FR rules) is also bound to go far, too.

Trolling and being a childish smart ass is TG’s Schtick.

I just point and laugh at him.

LOL!

He's ALWAYS on the wrong side of every issue. :)

Another steal, another day

[nwrep]

Can’t without the House.

[CrimsonTidegirl]

I don’t remember requesting your opinion.

I’m sure you are celebrating the outcome.

[Mark17]

I hope they tell us where they are buried. A lot of people have full bladders.

When you see an extreme radical Marxist leftist like Warnock get elected in a state like Georgia, you know it's over. Things are going from bad to worse.

I believe you're right. I still can't accept how low Georgia has descended.

If I wasn't already depressed this would be another reason to feel that way.

There seems to be a pattern....Branch Covidians.....Uniparty....NeverTrumpers....RINOS.....etc., etc.

[CrimsonTidegirl]

Spot on:)

Yep. That's precisely the map I had in mind. Other than Wisconsin, what blue state is a plausible GOP get? I still hear people say Virginia (no doubt bolstered by Youngkin's gubernatorial win), but I'm not feeling it. Virginia went +10 for Biden in 2020. Hillary Clinton carried it +5 in 2016. Obama won it twice (+4% in 2012 and +6 in 2008). It's no longer a "purple" state, it seems to me, but rather solidly blue.

As for Youngkin's win, it's hardly clear that means much on the national level. I'm from Virginia originally, and even when the state was solidly red in national elections, it would with some frequency elect Democratic Senators and Democratic Governors. Perhaps Youngkin's success reflects that same sort of pattern, but in reverse.

And, as to tonight's election results, if Georgia is becoming a "purple" state, a battleground state, this isn't good news for the GOP. There's obviously no path forward to 270 for the Republicans without Georgia.

“Stop projecting. You aren’t very good at it.”.

I apologize. Maybe your demented post was not due to your not being able to see straight.

Blacks seem to love to elect their oppressors.

According to the GA Dept. of Health, in 2020, blacks were 67% of abortions in GA.

They will vote for their own genocide, and cheer the results.

[lastchance]

Probably not. Suburban pro-abort women probably tipped the outcome in his favor.

My mother was born and raised in Georgia. She died in 2006 but I wonder if she voted today.

[Spok]

We’ll never know what the real numbers are. Never.

[TexasGator]

Enough of the trolling, kiryandil

[Coronal]

Don’t be too quick to count Arizona or Georgia.

The Good People [Voters] of the State of Georgia have spoken. And via their votes they have once again that the Voters of America will not tolerate an honest person Governing them. Any time they have a choice between a bastard, a degenerate, a liar, a pervert and any semblance of an honest person, they will choose the bastard, the degenerate, the liar, the crook, or the pervert. The action[s] of the voters of the State of Georgia once again bears this fact out. As in the election of 2020 when the voters had the choice between an honest person [Donald J. Trump] or the biggest degenerate in the history of man [Joe Biden] they choose the degenerate. The election of 2024 will be a repeat of the elections of 2020 and 2022. The voters will choose the biggest degenerate. They want someone like themselves to rule them.
