Georgia Democrats Say Trump Is Helping
December 18, 2020 at 6:25 am EST By Taegan


“President Trump has been waging war on Georgia Republicans the past month, spreading disinformation and conspiracy theories about the Senate runoffs — and Democrats are praying he keeps on talking,” Politico reports.

“That’s because Republican voters who believe Trump’s claims are growing skeptical of the election. They’re flocking to Facebook, Parler and Gab and they’re threatening to sit this one out — putting Republicans’ grasp on the Senate at risk if they follow through on Jan. 5.”

He claimed the stepford wife and perdue need to simply talk and promote president Trump. He was livid both do not mention Trump at their events.

He is to stupid to understand why they don't.

His buddy Moscow Mitch. Hoping for the other side not to turn out is almost Republican anti-voting scheme.

Stacey Abrams started a movement in Georgia that will spread to other states like the Carolinas, Texas, etc. The fair fight for the right to vote is crucial in mobilizing the younger voters will be important for the future of this country. The destruction of Trumpism and the GOP of today ato the State level, as much as the Federal level, will bring forth candidates who will move this country forward.

Malcom Kenya of Pennsylvania comes to mind. I see him rising to run for Congress in 2022. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock bring hope and vision to Georgia. The voters are responding in kind.

For Trump the only thing worse than being branded a loser is being a loser while watching someone else win. If the Democrats win he will vilify them for other reasons as part of the general catastrophe of "their" loss. But he doesn't want other Republicans crowing about their win when he is sucking on the bitterness of defeat.

…..and laugh at this before the election? Doesn't this kind of thing help the Georgia MAGA realize what's happening and change their minds—and get out and vote?

If it ain't broken, fixing it can break it.

Shhh!

To make sure, all Democratic Party campaigning should group Ossoff and Warnock together since both are needed for Senate control.

To Georgians: "Don't worry about the names, just concentrate on the D."

I think even a politically neutral campaign would help the odds for Democrats if it simply discourages split voting.
