EXCLUSIVE: Trump on Stacey Abrams running for U.S. Senate: ‘I don’t think she can win’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | February 6, 2019 | Tamar Hallerman

President Donald Trump was dismissive about the future political prospects of former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, saying in an Oval Office interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Wednesday that the Democrat could not defeat incumbent U.S. Sen. David Perdue in a statewide battle.

Hours after Abrams delivered a well-received rebuttal to Trump’s State of the Union address on behalf of the Democratic Party, Trump said it would be a “mistake” for Abrams to run against Perdue, one of his top Georgia allies, in 2020.

“I think it’s a mistake for her to run against him because I don’t think she can win,” the president told the AJC and a group of regional reporters in a wide-ranging exclusive interview.

“David Perdue is an incredible senator, if you remember, and will be very hard to beat,” he added.

Top Democrats have been feverishly courting Abrams to run against Perdue, a first-term Republican and former Fortune 500 CEO. If she enters the race, it would instantly become a blockbuster contest that could help determine control of the U.S. Senate....

President Donald Trump was dismissive

Dismissive? They asked a question. He answered it. Just because you don't like the answer, doesn't mean he was "dismissive".

On the other hand, what would they have said if Trump came back with, “Well, she has amazing qualifications, and I think she will be an outstanding Senator for Atlanta homosexual blacks.” (That’s because her qualifications are, indeed, amazing.)

Seriously, does the AJC actually think Trump will compliment a democrat racist debtor trying to knock off a sitting republican Senator?

If he (Trump) thought she would be the best “loser” to Perdue (best way to ensure a Perdue victory), then what would they have him say?

‘I don’t think she can win’

With her, that kind of talk now is vote suppression, since she is entitled to any office she runs for. And it is racism if she loses.

Trump’s right. Abrams won’t win.

The nasty GopE is just sorry they can’t muddy Perdue up in a primary.

“Dismissive? They asked a question. He answered it. Just because you don’t like the answer, doesn’t mean he was “dismissive”.”

The MSM would never use this word against a Democrat. Their narrative is Trump is dismissive of women.

If she was lying about her dad’s coat, or any of the other initial drama in her story, I left it slide. But when she switched to lying about our POTUS’ conduct of our National affairs, I switched off the TV very quickly.

She could win a uninformed, misinformed, fat, dishonest, angry self-entitled contest...easily.

Abrams lost the gubernatorial election in Georgia.

Gillum lost the gubernatorial race in Florida and is still being investigated by the FBI.

These are 2 of the new stars in the democrat party.
