An Ultra-MAGA Rep. and a Kemp-Backed Football Coach Fight to Face Ossoff

Originally published at: An Ultra-MAGA Rep. and a Kemp-Backed Football Coach Fight to Face Ossoff

The winner of Georgia’s GOP Senate primary will be decided in a June 16 runoff after no single candidate received a majority of votes cast in Tuesday’s primary. MAGA election denier Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) will face off against football coach Derek Dooley, who has repeatedly stopped short of saying the 2020 election was stolen…

Whoever comes out on top of the runoff will be fighting an uphill battle. Though there are months before November’s general election, and many more opportunities for the economy to worsen and for the patient to become even less popular, a host of polls have Democrat Ossoff holding on to his seat.

What is the difference between “MAGA” and “Ultra-MAGA?” Or, put another way, what could possibly be worse than the basic MAGA?

In Georgia, 1980 was the day before yesterday, and it was also the year that Derek Dooley’s father, Vince and his star running back, Hershel Walker, were winning a national football championship for the Bulldogs. If this qualified Hershel for the Senate, why not Derek?

When things go south and get a lot worse, I don’t want to hear “I didn’t vote for this” Yes you did and I want the media to point that out every time. I know, I jest!
