The difference between anonymous sources and imaginary friends is the credibility of the reporter. And this is coming from CNN.

I’d say biggest worry is things that allowed fraud to happen in 20 continue.

I am a Georgia Republican and I like Kemp. He called out the National Guard during the riot and told Lance-Bottoms ,the mayor of Atlanta, to get on top of the riots or he would, because of Kemp’s actions Atlanta faired much better than most Democratic ran cities. Kemp passed the Georgia voting law and told Hollywood, MLB to shove there objections up their rear. It is true Kemp is out raising Purdue for the election. I don’t know why you guys think Kemp can’t beat Abrams, he did once. With Abrams supporting the MLB pulling the all star game out of Atlanta it hurt a lot of small business employees in Atlanta. I don’t think Abrams is as strong as she once was, her support for the MLB all star pull out, support for BLM and the mask photo have hurt her.

“””Yes, I agree. Perdue is a milquetoast Rino. I don’t understand Trump’s reasoning.”””


Georgia Republicans will have to make a choice in the primary.

1. Do they want RINO Kemp who hates Trump?

2. Or do they want RINO Perdue who will be beholden to Trump?

As a former Georgian, the choice for Republican Voters is obvious. And that is why CNN is creating this fake news.

You sound like you work for that Bush bot Kemp campaign .

Lets stop the Kemp spinning and talk about him being a Globalist Bush plant who help get Biden elected in 2020.
Kemp was a GA SOS and he knew all the dirty tricks played in 2020 to remove Trump .
Kemp and his GOPE thugs stop any investigation into the GA 2020 his SOS buddy schemes.

I don’t trust Jones, and IMO a better candidate than either could have been supported against Kemp.

But really this is a continuation of Trump’s installing RINO/traitors across his admin only to have them undermine him and his agenda.

Trump’s supporting some good candidates in this cycle and he is the easiest figurehead available to get MAGA movers out voting, but I suspect the combination of critically bad candidates and continuing voter theft will lead to just a slightly differently shaded uniparty Congress and state leaderships.

RINOs are never beholden to actual conservatives—or conservative positions.

Don’t turn this race into a circular firing squad just because Trump has endorsed Perdue. Both candidates have their problems. Sure, Kemp should have been more active against voter fraud, but he atoned for this by signing an anti-fraud bill that the left hates.

As for electability, Perdue waged a losing campaign for the Senate while Kemp at least managed to defeat Stacy for the governorship. Where would we be now in Georgia if he had not done that?

Here, Trump needs to reign-in his tendency to hold a grudge.

I hear what you’re saying. I was planning on giving Vernon my support because sometimes Dems turn into very good conservatives. Reagan and Trump come to mind.

The voter fraud will remain an issue in the midterms I fear.

Kemp would have lost had the Dems been ballot harvesting 2020 style in his race with Abrams. Guaranteed.

If Kemp wins the primary, it will NOT be because Republicans voted for him. Nope, no way.

The ONLY way Kemp steals this election is with overwhelming Democrat support.

It does not help that Purdue is a limp wrist milquetoast. He is not a great campaigner, but even with these deficiencies he only lost to Ossaff (the first round) due to the midnight ballot harvesting.

It’s possible that’s what he is. But as a longtime Dem party operative depending on a political position for his livelihood, coupled with the Dem penchant for sending their people over to the other side in areas where they can’t legitimately any more, I am hesitant to seat him in Congress with an election cycle of his enlightenment. Look at all those supposed conservatives who road in on the tea party wave and then voted as moderate Democrats at best. That wasn’t an accident.

The fact is NEITHER of these guys was “pro-Trump” and that Kemp only showed it earlier (November) than Perdue did by not backing Trump in December and January.

Neither is desirable. Perdue is only slightly better.

Interesting. I wonder if CNN got word that the Kemp campaign intends to win the election the same way Biden “won” in Georgia. I wouldn’t put anything past these scum.

Like it or not, Kemp is up about 20 points, even after consolidation of competitors to just Perdue....

Perdue needs to find a message that works, and drive it home...

Trump visits and rallies will help, but the primary is about 3 months away. Trump rallies alone are NOT going to likely pull Perdue over the finish line.

Like it or not, looks like the people of GA don’t care about, don’t know about, or approve of the fraud of 2020 and Kemp’s role in it.
