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.


There are a lot of weak and stupid voters in the GOP. Folks that can’t wait to put President Trump in the rear view mirror and get back to voting for whatever pieces of GOP garbage are on their ballots.

RCP average Kemp +5.3.

This can flip very easily once Trump campaigns more with Perdue. And Trump hasn’t really started on Kemp yet.

The GOP has absolutely no one else to run for governor? This is their problem. Keep recycling old worn out politicians , who should have been thrown out years ago.

If he wins his congressional seat, I’ll watch how he votes then I’ll know for certain. I really like him.

Fake Poll equals fake news.

“We find among people who do know Trump made an endorsement that Perdue had a lead, but on the whole, Kemp still has about a 10 point lead,” Cahaly said.”

Poll author. Trump just has to again remind people of who he endorsed. Likely he will hold a rally.

This poll seems to be a push poll if they are counting more people that do not know who Trump endorsed.

limited public polling hasn't been promising, either

Polling at this point is effectively worthless.

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

Utter nonsense. Read my post 47. This is a push poll just like your post. Those that know who Trump endorsed are voting for that endorsement. Poll author is the source.

CNN only reports on Democrat lies and RINO wins.

Kemp sandbagged the 2020 election by agreeing to settle the election suit that gave us drop boxes and other things. He fought to fix the election laws in 2021. I will not vote for him.

With thousands of fraudulent votes and fixed machines.

The irony is that for all the bluster, it’s all fraud.

Fair enough.

Stew Peters has done some expose/hit pieces on him involving racial favoritism in hiring and sexual misconduct, but I’ve not dug in deeply enough on the charges to comment.

Any facts to back up your post? Ossoff beat Purdue. Purdue isn’t as strong as you think. Trump lost, I get tired of the whining. I stated my reasons for supporting Kemp. Halloween, before the election I was in Signal Mountain Tennessee visiting a relative. My relative knew I was a Trump supporter, the relative is a Republican. We went trick or treating with his kid. He told look around at the Biden signs. The Biden signs ran two to one against Trump. Signal Mountain is not a Democratic strong hold by any means. So do I believe there was fraud? Yes, but Governors are not dictators. I think Kemp will carry the day.

Have any meaningful changes been made to Georgia’s voting laws that will prevent voter fraud? If not, the elites may very well elect Kemp through voter fraud. They’re good at it!

Georgia’s republican establishment is all in for Kemp and are earning disdain from their constituents for that stance.

I perceive that established party leadership is always risk averse, and they think Kemp is the "bird in the hand."

They don't want to take a risk on someone else.

Once they become established, they tend to turn into gutless cowards.

I prefer Perdue but he’s in his seventies and kemp probably has more chances against Abrams. Perdue should not have lost to toxic Ossoff and anti Trump motivation is what helps sink his senate career. I don’t like kemp but I’m not interested in Stacy being Governor. Cannot overestimate her ability to organize and getting out the votes. She’s why Republicans lost Georgia almost as much as Kemp screwing up Covid. At this point I doubt anyone is holding that against him but Trump lockstep loyalists will remember 2020 and his part. Kemp is an unfortunately an example of political corruption. Kelly Loefler never should’ve been appointed senator but she was a friend and Kemp benefactor. All said I’d rather have Kemp than Stacy any day. I don’t see Perdue as viable. Trump used to talk about the movement and it being more than about him until he lost and it’s all about him. It’s the MAGA policies that matter most. Trump’s created a cult of personality which is historically never a good thing. He did plenty of good but was always his own worst enemy and he’s the real reason he lost. I can’t see him winning a rematch with Joe in ‘24 but whoever is running against Joe will have my vote. Trump needs to stop making this about him and make it about the ideas he won on

I don’t know why you guys think Kemp can’t beat Abrams,...

I would think it is because he is widely perceived as stabbing Trump in the back on the 2020 election. He presented a united front with Raffensberger in the election steal, and did nothing to fix the problem. (For that 2020 election steal.)

Were I in Georgia, I would vote for anyone but a backstabber. If he survives the primary, I would vote for the Democrat just to hurt the backstabber.

I think a lot of people feel that way too, though they probably wouldn't go so far as to vote for Abrams. They would probably just skip voting for Kemp.
