What the Hell Was Stacey Abrams’ Plan?
Redstate ^ | Joe Cunningham

Posted on 05/08/2020 10:00:02 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

A little over a year ago, Stacey Abrams could’ve had anything she wanted. She was getting a lot of friendly media coverage; many people in the national Democratic Party and the media were disappointed that she lost to Brian Kemp in the Georgia gubernatorial race. She had liberal activists super excited about her future.

*snip*

So what happened to Stacey Abrams?

There’s a problem with blind ambition when it’s grouped with inexperience and a sense of entitlement. Abrams allies literally shouted down her primary opponent, Stacey Evans, demanding that the gubernatorial candidate be black. She got the nomination and went on to face Kemp. Throughout the race, her campaign was that she was a super progressive black woman. She felt entitled to the job, and to be fair, her time in the state’s legislature gave her a lot of experience in working with the governor as well as fighting Republicans.

But, she lost. She could not win her state. Despite record minority voter registration and election day minority turnout, she could not seal the deal. Despite that, she felt entitled to keep the spotlight. She insisted that she was the real governor, said Kemp’s name would always have an asterisk next to it, and kept herself in the Georgia and national spotlights.

The race was a massive blemish on her record, but she would not be denied. So, she decided she would put out feelers for the Senate race and the presidential race. The former kept Georgia media interested, the latter kept the national media interested. The problem is that she apparently wanted neither.

Scroll down that pic until only her mouth is visible and you’ll see a Cyclopean eye staring back at you. Creepy!

Well said, Rooster.  While Abrams is only 5 foot 3 inches tall, she's loaded up like a heavy, gasoline-hogging armored tank.  Trouble is she run out of gas long ago, and is lost somewhere in the desert -- no food and no true political savvy to get where she wants to go.  She's banking on Biden's dementia.

Actual title says “Hell”.
What caused it to get changed?

I changed it because there are some folks around here who can't stand a little cussing and I didn't want to have to repost the article after some pussy complained.

If you want Hell in the title, tell the mod.

A poor imitation of Hattie McDaniel in appearance; personality-wise, more MO than Hattie in comparison.

It isn't a question of what I want.

Fact is you changed the title.

Presumably because of "political correctness".

So while being concerned about some pussy complaining, you have become the pussy.

Whatever people may think or say, you are a part of the fabric here, and that often leads to entertainment. LOL
