Hopeful Democrats, stunned by losses in the North Carolina and Maine Senate races, have turned their eyes to Georgia where two January runoffs represent their only chance at retaking Senate control.
“Since 2000 this state has been the Lucy’s football of politics for Democrats — they keep getting 47%, 48% in statewide races, and every time they think the next time they’re going to get over the top. And it keeps not happening.”
So Georgia is the Democrats’ Minnesota. But if what I keep hearing about Georgia purging the voter rolls of Black voters every election pans out, then at least we know if we can stop that, we win. If somehow we do win the US Senate, we need election day registration nationwide. No more placebo ballots.
THIS IS HUGE. Ossoff’s campaign sent me a donation request, but I hadn’t seen confirmation that the run-off was a done deal. I will dip into my dwindling coffers, now.
I predicted this last night as I saw Perdue’s percentage at 50.4% and all the outstanding ballots lining up so well for Biden. Thank goodness there was a 3rd party candidate that bit into the total. What most people are not yet recognizing is the huge national focus that is going to be on Georgia. 1) The gop candidates are 2 billionaire’s who used covid briefings to make insider trades then happy talking the virus while knowing better. 2) There will be no Trump coattails for them to cling to. 3) There is going to be a massive national mission to make this happen. I believe it will. Let’s just do it! Donate!!
I guess I should be used to it after 4 years, but reading the tweets from Donald, Eric and Jr. it’s amazing how it’s lie after lie, one unsubstantiated claim after another. They are like are totally corrupt but bumbling crime family. And even more amazing the utter silence from other Republicans to call all most none of it out. And yes of course the nearly 50% of Americans that either believe the bs or that don’t acknowledge it and act like it’s normal.
Yeah what he said. And I wonder if Rs are very vocal yet because thye want to make sure Trump loses before they say anything bad about him, in case he wins. assholes!
Mitch McConnell is rearing his ugly obstruction head,but he wont be able to stop the firing of Barr,DeVos,DeJoy,Ross, Miller,Kushner and the list of unqualified appointments Trump has made keeping our country a drift at sea.
With any luck the disappointment amongst his followers and chaos Trump will continue to sow will open a door here. Also must make it a vs. McConnell race, nobody likes that guy.
Also, will be interesting to see how these races effect any possible lame duck COVID relief law negotiations.
