“We’ve already had two debates in this election. In each, Ossoff lied repeatedly, and of course the media failed to hold him accountable,”
That’s a great point from Perdue.
He should show up to the next debate just so he can tell off Ossoff to his face.

Run and hide. Keep betting on the party inertia.

“…And on my right - putting the case against the Government - is a small patch of brown liquid…which could be creosote or some extract used in industrial varnishing.”

If Perdue does show up it’s still purty much an empty podium.

The empty podium will do better than Perdue would.

Ossoff should check with a pro on how to proceed at the debate. Don’t pile on…just spell out what you want your voters to know.

No chicken statue? Will Ossoff at least bring a bucket of fried chicken?

That should help him out, good thinking the Perdue. People love cowards.
