Trump Will Stay Out of Georgia For Runoff Election

Donald J. Trump will not cross the Florida state line to campaign with Herschel Walker during the final week of the Georgia Senate runoff election, after both camps decided the former president's appearance carried more political risks than rewards, campaign officials for the two Republicans said on Monday.
Instead of holding one of his signature campaign rallies, Mr. Trump is planning a call with supporters in the state and will continue sending online fund-raising pleas for Mr. Walker, two people with knowledge of the planning said.
The decision to keep Mr. Trump out of the spotlight was a response largely to the former president's political style and image, which can energize his core supporters but also motivate Democratic voters and turn off significant segments of moderate Republicans.
In Georgia, that political math has become a net deficit for Mr. Trump, who opened his 2024 presidential campaign two weeks ago. In 2020, he was the first Republican presidential candidate to lose the state in 28 years. Earlier this year, his handpicked primary challengers to Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger were both trounced.
Mr. Trump also appeared to be a factor in the state's general election in November. Roughly one in three Georgia Republicans who voted said they were not supporters of Mr. Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement. Mr. Kemp won 90 percent of those voters while winning re-election by 7.5 points, according to the AP VoteCast survey of 2022 voters.

He "Truthed" this on Truth Social:

I agree with him that mail-in voting is steroids for voter fraud but this is not the moment to be suggesting that voting is futile in Georgia. I hope he's putting out more "Truths" encouraging people to vote to overcome possible Democrat fraud. Can anyone on Truth Social confirm?

31 Walker's main problem is that, like Trump, he does not have gopE support and the associated funding and political infrastructure of the gopE. His secondary problem which is almost as big as the first is McTurtle doesn't want to control or even come close senate. This is to help his democrat allies so they don't have to call Kamaltoe down to break ties which if used could cost them votes.

The broadcast legislative meetings after 2020 were the weirdest things I ever saw. They conferenced in with the person in charge of elections regarding 2020 and the last runoffs, and she was very clear that they could change or fix nothing in the few months they had. This was absurd since by that time they already knew the system was crap and needed to be fixed. Typical bureaucrat not willing to change anything even if it did not do what was required.

The weird part was how obsequious all the legislatures were toward her. (don't recall her title.) They all fawned over how hard she was working and how grateful they were that she would give them audience. It was clear that they depended on her to get elected. She was their boss.

Ace, you cannot overcome voter fraud with more voting. Ever. All the other side will do is wait it out to see how many votes they need to overcome the margin and then come up miraculously with enough to do it.

Truly, it is a fool's paradise to keep thinking turnout will tip the scale, when you have 6 million more people vote Republican in 2022 and you still lose.

Oh and again, Georgia was stolen from President Trump and Kemp and Raffensbarger are humongous pieces of shit.

Posted by: Martini Farmer at November 29, 2022 05:15 PM (Q4IgG)

That may be the case, but there is nobody in the GOPe that can fill that role - nobody on that side has handled it successfully. In fact, the points of one of Ace's posts last week is that if you're a GOP midwit, all you need to do is serve your time and you get your name on the 'approved' list to run GOP campaigns. They are incapable of exhibiting even a modicum of common sense - they simply exist to grift money from the rubes.

It would be better if a Moron managed his media presence, but TBH, he's still a better media person than most media people.

It has happened now, I think, and maybe happened as early as 2018 when voters realized what a fraud Americans politics were. There literally is no reason at this point to support or vote for the GOP at the national level. The only question after 2018 was whether the paradigm shifted or if Trump was a bump in the road. It was "bump in the road," apparently. And whether it is now or after 2024, Trump will be off the stage and nearly half the country will have no representation, which basically is the situation now.

104 Reminder about what happened in PA, 2016, no mail-in ballots:

It was clear Trump had won the state around 2 a.m. Wednesday morning. Naturally, any and every manufactured "vote" that the big city fraud machines could deliver started trickling in. Some in big dumps, some smaller. This went on for days, until, because there was not mail-in balloting that year, they couldn't manufacture anymore votes. The SOP fraud that the big city machines had been practicing for decades came short of the MOV.

That's how Trump beat the fraud in 2016 - PA did not hve mail-in ballots

He also has enough personal flaws that it's time for him to get off the stage and stop being a distraction.

DeSantis has all of Trump's fire in the belly, F-U attitude toward the corporate media and the left in general, and track record of actually doing shit to move things away from the insanity of the woke left -- and none of his childish, infantile, stream-of-consciousness insults and prattling on.

130 Democrats used to say the same thing about mail-in voting and fraud.

That's before they perfected ballot harvesting.

My understanding from a number of perspectives is that the Dems believed so heavily that 2004 was the Republicans "stealing" the election--including flipping votes in electronic voter machines that they martialed-up and started cheating more in earnest as an "honest" reaction.

But now, that's The Big Lie when they win and "obvious" when they lose. I'm quite sure they intend to never lose again, so that they can always be convinced of the proper outcome of elections.

147 The narrative that the GOPe has out there is that Trump is toxic in Georgia, yet they never mention that the origin of the Trump-Kemp split was when Kemp attempted to pander to suburban Karens by handpicking Loeffler to fill Johnny Isaacson's Senate seat over Trump-backed Doug Collins.

The attempt predictably failed and Loeffler lost her own run-off.

So both Trump-backed and Kemp-backed GOP candidates have lost in GA lately and Kemp was re-elected largely because he had the advantage of running against an obese woman who called for an economic boycott of the state that cost it hundreds of millions of dollars.

Perphaps we just have to acknowledge that at the same time IA, OH, and FL have become solidly-red, GA is the new VA for Dems.

153 Here is the dilemma-- GOP is effectively dead as a political brand as is their wars everywhere for democracy, offshoring, and playing their base on domestic policy such as immigration, energy, welfare spending, open borders, etc. in order to give the Dems what they want.

Mitch McConnell is the least liked party leader in the country--ponder that. McCarthy is well on his way to that level of reverse stardom. So why would voters care if Walker loses in GA, it is not as if McConnell would do anything different than he did with 50 votes. He and his large cohort of grifting GOP assholes made it clear with their twelve so brave GOP supporters of the Dems oppressive marriage act that they don't give a shit about some of their loyalist supporters.

The only advantage of the GOP taking the House is ending the political punishment of the Jan 6 cmte which McConnell will probably allow to go to the Senate and blocking some of the more extreme stupidity if McCarthy can hold his caucus together via a Hastert rule or Tom Delay tactics.

However, I also want Trump to be wiser and smarter in the way he governs the second time around. Pointlessly attacking DeSantis and Youngkin(???) shows me he has not learned what is necessary.

But while I think DeSantis is great, I don't know if he has the courage to burn down the federal bureaucracy and restore sovereignty to the states. He's had it fairly easy with a GOP legislature that has done a great job of backing him up.

I think Trump has that fire and courage, it just needs to be coupled with wisdom and good judgment, which he continues to lack.

Abrams offended their sensibilities because she was a buffon. McAwful did the same to the suburban moms by supporting some of the more ludicrous stupid educational decisions such as allowing an acknowledged rapist to avoid punishment.

He and his large cohort of grifting GOP assholes made it clear with their twelve so brave GOP supporters of the Dems oppressive marriage act that they don't give a shit about some of their loyalist supporters.

---------

This is true. As a practical matter, there's no difference between 49 and 50 GOP senators other than less desirable office space. McConnell and his caucus are, at present, working to:

(1) Codify homosexual marriage;

(2) Bail Biden out of a rail strike;

(3) Send another $30 or so billion to Ukraine; and

(4) Fund Biden's spending priorities for a year so they can't be obstructed by the incoming GOP House.

That's on top of having provided overwhelming GOP support to confirm Garland as AG, amongst others, and to pass Biden's "infrastructure" boondoggle and his gun control bill.

The argument that we'll be less effective in checking Biden if we have 49 Senate seats instead of 50 rings hollow when the Senate GOP has been actively abetting him for the past 2 years.

I'll vote for Trump if he's the nominee, it's an easy decision. But the opposition against him is insane. The most fervent Trump supporters say he's the only man who can save America. If that is actually true, then - no, he cannot. He was essentially a one-man army between 2016-2020 and look where that got him. Yes, he exposed a lot, thank God. But we need more than exposure. Is he more popular now? If the midterms didn't answer that question for you, look at Georgia right now.

I believe Trump never held a rally for Walker before the election, I was hoping he'd get involved in the runoff. Now he's staying out, and I can't say that's an entirely wrong stance, but it's also a sign of weakness.

If the best you can offer is "I'm going to hurt at least as much as I will help" then what does Trump have going for him at this point? Can't say I'm thrilled about it, but I agree that Peak Trump has passed us by.

Seems unlikely to me. I think the best we can hope for is the corruption becomes so obvious that enough Arizonans finally say enough is enough and clean the elections up.

I watched one woman testify, a Republican election official, who claimed the voters roles are an absolute joke. In some cases there were up to 9 people registered at a single address and when the lady went to the house to check for accuracy not a single listed person lived at the address and the woman who did had no idea who the people were. And there numerous examples of things like that and that is just one factor.

Here's a not so secret secret,

The left loves these hearings and trials that go nowhere and mounds of evidence of wrongdoing, and films of people clearly breaking the law. They love all of it. Because every bit of it just serves to document the level of power they have over us. When they know they will never be held accountable every accusation is just a measure of their position over us.

230 Pleasantly surprised to see that Trump realizes he's not always a positive influence for Republican candidates. I know he supports Walker, as do I, but I'm glad he's staying out of Georgia for this one.

Right now, Trump is by far the single greatest get-out-the-vote catalyst in the U.S. Unfortunately, it's for the Democrats.

235 The way to solve the problem is to find a third-tier, reasonably well known democrat political figure who wants a fat bribe. Use a friendly District Attorney to give him immunity for any information. Have him swear out an affidavit that he personally was involved in vote harvesting/vote manufacturing in the tens of thousands. Have him implicate other high profile democrats with the same accuracy that Adam Schiff used against Trump and other republicans. Let him state that evidence was destroyed.

Have everyone on the right go into full pearl clutching spasms and demand every day that "something" be done. Get everyone on the same page that only in-person, same day, paper ballot voting will restore integrity to the voting system.

Most of them do not give one shit about the endless pandering where a millionaire shows up in overalls to talk farmin or some other retarded GOPe shit that their advisors like.

If you consider Phil's weatherman character at the beginning of Groundhog Day, that is what the GOP campaign advisors and handlers are like. I've met them in the past at the national level and more recently at the state level. They are elitist pricks that hate their own voters while lining their own pockets. Plus they are basically as smart on their tactics as the Allies were in trench warfare.

The same way he already did. He's the only Republican since Reagan to crack 300 electoral votes. He has far more paths to 270 than any other GOP candidate and could've lost GA in 2016 and still won comfortably.

In some cases there were up to 9 people registered at a single address and when the lady went to the house to check for accuracy not a single listed person lived at the address and the woman who did had no idea who the people were. And there numerous examples of things like that and that is just one factor.

Same thing here in Pennsylvania. I had to skirt around the issue with a voters group who visited my home before I owned up to saying 2020 was the most BS election in PA's history. At that point they started citing statistics they had discovered that would singe every-living hair off of 'Admiral' Levine's nipples.

293 What I'm saying is that the GOPe thinks DeSantis is hard-core enough to excite Trump voters (whom they deem to be uncultured retards) and yet he is still establishment enough to get their real agenda accomplished (tax cuts for their corporate donors).
Posted by: Bitter Clinger at November 29, 2022 06:09 PM (g4JKw)

The GOPe thinks DeSantis and Trump will split the vote and they can slide some hack like Youngkin or Haley into the nomination. DeSantis is a very smart and tough guy, though, and surely see this. He honestly needs to stay in Florida because this rotten edifice is falling apart and we need strong leaders in the individual states. If people wake up after the implosion, and there even can still be fair elections, there might be a reason for someone like DeSantis to run in 2028. Color me dubious, though.

But who will have a chance in hell? No Republican who represents and serves us will win. Only those chosen by the establishment to continue the theater. They didn't expect Trump to win, and got caught off guard. It won't happen again.

Show us what you did other than voting to fix Arizona's putrid elections first. Please demonstrate your work.

Arizona GOP happily allowed mail in voting and it has now bit them in the ass via organized voter fraud and will kill your state. Georgia has similar issues because both GOPe politicians simply will not allow elections to be questioned and it is probably because they are knee deep in the shit themselves particularly in primaries. Notice how the brave Maricopa County Recorder and Commission despite being controlled by the GOP made such a mess of voting in Maricopa county just to screw Lake over.

We wonder how such unappealing creatures with no voter appeal show up on the ballot as GOP nominees--my guess is vote fraud and rigging primary races. McConnell himself has been caught doing it for putrid reasons having nothing to do with principle or country but purely to keep his fat ass as controlling GOP grift.

It's literally the responsibility of the NRSC, SLF, NRCC, and RNC to bankroll Senate and Congressional candidates and secure majorities, not Trump's.

Trump's PACs exist to get him re-elected president.

DeSantis was sitting on $200 million, purportedly for a gubernatorial re-election campaign. He certainly did not deplete his coffers to finance that slob RINO Senate candidate he endorsed in Colorado.

The two positions are NOT mutually exclusive.

Democrat turnout was very high in 2020, which meant they needed to create fewer votes than they otherwise would have had to do.

Hatred of Trump increased the Democrat vote (some of that was Never Trump), meaning less fraud was required. IMHO, if you do not believe that TDS fuels voter turnout against him, I don't really know where you've been the last couple of years.

But yes, I do believe there was still fraud. Just less was required.

308 Why, exactly, is Walker unfit for office? I know very little about him, but a fucking child could do the job of a legislator.

Unless there's footage of him eating someone, I don't really see what the hell could possibly be disqualifying for a *Senator,* ferpetessakes. These people are all human filth. Even a Walker Cannibal Tape would probably be less bad than the skeletons in his colleagues' closets.

Agree. There are probably only 3 or 4 Senators fit for the office.

And Walker being a non-politician is certainly better than the vast majority of the human filth in DC.

310 The ads against Walker in Georgia generally focus on his behavior from 10-12 years ago, and his opposition to abortion. As if a U.S. Senator can do much about what is now in the purvey of State legislatures. No one accused the average Democrat voter of being well-informed, or thinking critically.

Warnock, less than 2 years ago, tried to run his ex-wife over with his car, and his church is a slum lord running a tenement apartment building that is unfit to live in - but that doesn't seem to matter.

Walker's also been painted as dishonest, and unintelligent. There are billboards in Atlanta that say:

"I'm not that smart."
- Herschel Walker

We all know from numerous examples that IQ is not a pre-requisite for public office, and if honesty were required, few would ever get elected or stay in office long. I don't know what Herschel's IQ is, but I'll wager that Warnock's isn't much higher, if it's higher at all. Herschel is not a particularly glib public speaker, but he's not stupid, either.

So, it boils down to "he's unfit, because he's a Republican."

315 McCarthy's argument that if he isn't elected speaker on the first ballot is simply bizarre given politics. He seems to suggest that his minions, denied his speakership, will just rather vote for a democrat instead and not join the 20 plus republicans voting for a Republican leader - or that some large contingent would anyway.

This gives the game away right here - McCarthy is saying that his coalition would rather have liberal unelected leaders than that which was chosen by the people. He should be tossed just for suggesting it - and it won't happen anyway since Congress critters love their committee assignments. The man is an idiot for even throwing that out there...
