GA Senators Gamble That Trump Can Keep His Eye On Their Prize

Has DJT ever campaigned for someone else without losing focus and making it all about him?

Gambling around him just leads to bankruptcy and dumpster fires.

In this case, that’s not a bad thing.

Trump is going to moan & groan all through his appearance. He’s not going to let this go, he’ll never let this go. I do wonder if he’ll start to berate those Trumpers that come to hear him moan & groan?

Scenario One: Trump Fans The Flame Of Conspiracy

Scenario Two: Trump Supercharges GOP Enthusiasm

By my count, that’s only one scenario.

I just know trumPP is trying to stay on Loeffler’s good side so he can take some of her hair and put it on his head.

He’ll make it all about him, but the question is how much resentment he can focus against local democrats. Right now he’s shooting at local republicans instead.

I don’t think he will go in the end. He is incapable of praising someone for something other than their support for him. But who cares about that now.

I think he couldn’t stand it if they won, since he doesn’t have a chance to win himself

Most likely. Remember how he scolded suburban housewives while he was still campaigning.

Given that Republicans have won 6 out of 7 of these Georgia runoff elections I’m really rooting for Trump to put his Midas touch on the race.

Gambling on Trump’s attention span or message discipline is like playing Russian roulette with an automatic.

Well laser-like focus and attention to detail has certainly been a hallmark of the Trump presidency. Why question it now?

Well now that he’s on his way out a lot of those housewife types may be more inclined to vote for GOP senators. And a lot of our side my revert to not caring about non-presidential elections.
