Romney had one job, block a conservative from the Republican Nomination. Mission Accomplished.

Trump knows more than me so I’ll accept his recommendation.

Not the time to sinter from him.

I think he’s learned how deep the deep state is and Vernon Jones has been around too long

And even if he isn’t, Jones makes a much better hate target for the Left - I can hear the Stepin Fetchit and House Negro allegations already. Remember what they said recently about Winsome Sears. I don’t see blacks voting for Jones any more than they would for Perdue.

Abrams won’t win if she can’t cheat. The problem in every state is RINOs who don’t want to disturb the cheating apparatus, either because they have directly benefitted from it in the past or because they have been conned into believing it is a justifiable form of reparations that the beneficiaries would be too outraged to lose.

Mattis to Esper, Sessions to Barr, Miley on the face.

He has a history of repeating or not knowing from the jump in certain cases.

I’m not fully against his endorsement of Purdue as I know it’s only to take Kemp out. Just not sure he needed to do this now is all.

I can’t figure out why Trump went with Purdue? It makes no sense but there must be a reason. I know Trump loved Sonny Purdue but I don’t think that’s it.

Brian Kemp came in with promise... he fell flat!
1. He gave the vacant Senate seat to the woman who has lots of money... instead of giving it to Collins. . it was Collin’s seat to have.. and all the calls and emails to Kemp went over his head. The woman and that choice by Kemp, gave the Senate to the dems.
2. When it came down to rubber meets the road... Kemp failed to get the election results done right... do not certify until all charges are solved. He did not help Trump... he gave that senate seat to the democratic party! and now they have control over all 3 branches of gov.

There was a car accident where the boyfriend of Kemp’s daughter was killed... suspicious. and that boy worked for the long haired blond Kemp gave the seat to.
I haven’t seen a hard connection to politics, but yes, suspicious.

Folks, we either trust Trump to know what he’s doing or we don’t.

Depends on what he's doing. In this case, I think he's wrong and backing a loser. Vernon Jones seems like a far stronger candidate against Abrams.

Seems I remember Vernon Jones vigorously defending Trump while Perdue was sort of weak-kneed response. Loeffler she wasn’t no prize either.

Agree. Abrams will havea better vote harvesting organization this time. It will take every card, even a race card, to beat her.

I agree. I think Trump is relying on bad advice and a fogged memory about how Perdue and Loeffler acted at the end of their terms. I think he’s been told Perdue can get the money and the has the apparatus to get elected and nothing much else beyond that.

It seems like everyone on this thread is overlooking the most important angle here.

It doesn’t matter if Vernon Jones is the best candidate to face Abrams. More than anything else, this is all about who is the best candidate against Kemp in a GOP primary.I think Jones loses to Kemp, by a wide margin — while Perdue has the money and the party support to win that race.

I'm a Georgia native, and I try to keep up with what's going on there.

My preference is Vernon Jones, over the two RINOs.

GOD HELP GEORGIA if Stacey Abrams is elected. If that happens, I will never set foot in my home state again.

Who would McConnell chose? Purdue I bet.

Trump’s endorsements have been awful.
2016 he endorsed McCain.
2018 he endorsed Romney.
2020 he endorsed McConnell and Flimsey Grahamnesty who spent the previous four years undermining his term in office.

I agree, Jones is without a doubt the better candidate to run against Aunt Jemina. The trouble is even with Trump’s wholehearted endorsement, Jones getting the nomination is unlikely.

It looks to me that Trump is hitching his wagon to Perdue because he’s not Kemp and can win the primary. Sadly, a three-way primary fight has a real chance of dooming the governorship even in a very favorable cycle.

My thought, too. I will vote for Jones in the Primary and/or a runoff of it. But in the General I’ll be voting for the winner so I don’t see a problem as long as the Republican electorate is committed to voting against Abrams.

She seems to represent the very worst of what the left (specifically the black left) has become. She seems to be fully embracing the BLM, CRT-Marxist Liberation, Christian WMs as the inherent evil etc. ideology.

Opposite say to a Candace Owens who I like very much.
