Breitbart ^ | 12/07/2022 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Posted on 12/07/2022 7:33:47 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Republican candidate Herschel Walker conceded the Georgia Senate runoff race to Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) on Tuesday.

“I want you to believe in America and continue to believe in the Constitution and believe in our elected officials most of all,” he said. “I’m never gonna stop fighting for Georgia.”

“There’s no excuses in life, and I’m not going to make any excuses now, because we put up one heck of a fight,” he continued.

Walker made no mention of Warnock in the speech.

Best we can hope for is a gridlock from 2025 on, if the GOPe Dopes get their act together and flip 3 Senate seats in two years.

Unfortunately, there are too many who do believe that ‘free lunches’ exist and they deserve one.

I have never seen any evidence that he had a low IQ. Might not have like his politics, obviously.

Underestimating your enemy is the best way to get your ass kicked in any contest.

Anytime the turdel does something you don’t understand, be assured his off shore account contains more money that it did before he made the decision.

“Bull! Georgia is a red state with two blue senators. If you want to know how this happened, his name is Donald and he lives in Florida.”

If you ignore the role election fraud has played in the last 2 elections, then you haven’t a clue as to how it happened.

And you could add Sarah Palin and Tudor Dixon to the list of Trump’s high profile endorsements who lost.

>> The GOP-ELITE SCREWED IT UP AGAIN... <<

And the social media warriors on "our side" screaming "VOTE RED!!!!!" ALSO screwed it up again. They indeed ended up with LOTS of "Reds" in office, just like in 2018 AND 2020.

But hey, despite it never working out for us, let's just keep using the mainstream media's Orwellian terminology anyway...

There isn’t much difference between ignoring it and not doing anything about it.

Not doing much is a feature not a bug.

When did tabulated ballots ever have names attached to them?

They didn't, but they should. Imagine a country where a citizen sends in to the IRS what he thinks that he owes in taxes but is identity is removed from the form in the mailroom. Same logic with elections.

A third party can be created and be successful if it is appealing and can expand the base. The name should be one that everyone could feel is relevant, inclusive, and inviting. Real President Trump would get the majority of the Republican party base to go with him but this is not enough to win the white house.

Serious thought will need to be made on how to take classic Democrat voters. Hispanics would need to be part of that effort but a clear message that resonates with them will need to be made. It would be helpful if we differentiated better the message that we accept your aunt and pappy but not criminals and drug dealers. Traditional values issues have already made and impact on that population.

The young voter is another. disillusioned with traditional organizations creates an opening. They are more libertarian on social issues which is contrary to our party base. A difficult challenge for sure but there is an opening with them on financial issues. Starting with personal finances such as near zero interest student loans instead of forgiveness and national issues such as deficit reduction and spending restraint which has been abandoned by the current Republican party. And a peace not war message

We also need to do a better job reaching out to Muslim populations, be critical to extremist groups yes but open to expanding this voting block by raising moral values issues they hold important.

The African American voter is under the impression they have a financial obligation to the Democrat party. Only when that financial support is gone will they be attracted to another.

McConnell spent money running ads, Gov Kemp appeared in ads, DeSantis endorsed him on Monday.

He was attacked on his character with endless ads about abusing his ex wife and son who, if I saw what I think I saw, had a MAGA tshirt on. He was Trump’s choice. Somehow he was the one Republican running statewide who didn’t easily win. I wasn’t enthusiastic but I also didn’t expect Warnock would end up in a run off either. Thought he would win easily.

Somehow we have a state run by Republicans across the board yet is represented in the US Senate by two Democrats. As they like to say here, “make it make sense!”

Graham, Tim Scott and others campaign with Walker. 180,000 voters didn’t vote for Walker in the runoff but voted for him in the general, enough that would have put him over the top. I heard it’s something like half a million didn’t bother with the runoff.

“...A third party can be created...”
-
There exists already a 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc, party.
Libertarian Party, Constitutional Party, Green Party, etc.

How many successes do they have?

I think they had 100,000 mail in ballots, which were bogus, ready for the right moment.

I hope they can recover.

You hit the nail on the head so hard that it traveled right through the brain.
