Trump heads for big rebuke in Tuesday’s elections

I am finding it interesting that Trump endorsements at a statewide level are not doing as well as at a district level. I also heard a report that Trump's endorsements, both winners and losers, are garnering approximately 33% of the GOP primary votes. That means 2/3rds of Republicans are choosing candidates not endorsed by Trump. May he be losing his grip on the party?
That 33% number has been his floor since he came on the scene. The question is whether or not the 2/3 of R's that don't believe in the big lie stand up for the truth come election day.

With the Summer of the George Floyd demonstrations, followed by the recent Senatorial run-off Trump rebuff, I've taken a sharp interest in Georgia!

Despite all its woes throughout history and now, I've often had an an affinity for the South, even as I'm cognizant and averse to all of its - well - woes! Maybe call it a misplaced romanticism? I don't know.

But with the George Floyd & Rayshard Brooks protests in Atlanta, I saw protesters that for the most part were calm and lawful. And crazy as it sounds, most of the protestors were dressed - in my opinion - reasonably 'clean-cut', for lack of better words. And they seemed to present themselves on-camera in a sensible & reasonable manner. In short, those I saw interviewed in the streets didn't seem too different than those I might want as neighbors. This was in stark contrast to many of the other concurrent protests taking place in many other cities across the nation. It actually caught my attention, crazy as it sounds.

Then, Georgia flipped Blue in the soon-after Presidential election. That really caught my attention! And then soon after, both Senatorial seats flipped Blue! Wow! The flips weren't waves, but rather they were all close calls indicating a nearly evenly divided electorate.

For some crazy reason, I find this all appealing. Not in partisan terms, as in "Yea! Yea! Yea, for my side!". But rather, it appeals in terms of a Deep South state, previously fully entrenched in all we associate with the Deep South, now seemingly becoming a more moderate state, but not to the point of it being a 'bleeding heart liberal' state like some others. To be able to walk down the street or road and experience both sides of the equation, sounds pretty darn interesting. It also would be interesting to see what appears to be the emergence of more moderate Liberalism, if indeed that's what I am seeing. That, would be highly interesting. Most interesting, might be seeing how this all co-exists!

So anyway, my eyes will be on tonight's Georgia results, as a rebuke of Trump again will only further my interest in the place.

I don't know what's going-on in Georgia, but I think I've really got get my arse down there to see for my self!

Thanks for reading!
Thank you for a well reasoned OP.
Common sense is what people want. No one wants to be yelled at, accused or disparaged, and, hopefully, we will see a distancing from the extremes on both sides.

Seems to be that at a statewide level they are. At a district level not so much.

Not to surprising is it. Peer pressure is a greater influence the smaller the group gets imo.

Smaller areas tend to have more homogeneous populations ........especially when you gerrymander the boundaries.
 
I don't think Trump can pull this off for Perdue. Simply because I believe the people know Kemp is the better candidate of the two.

I predict incumbent Kemp will and should win today, (he is way ahead in the polls), and simply because he's better equipped than Perdue to win the nomination... Therefore, he is better for the people of GA should he, and I think he will, beat Abrams in November. At least I hope so...
Hershell Walker will win the senate nomination.
What do you think about Walker as a candidate?
 
Who among us can fail to admire Trump's stellar work controlling the pandemic,
Well said, but there are those who try in the face of the facts.

the only thing he ever really had to do.
This not so much. There is a long list of accomplishments--economic and jobs, foreign policy, reducing regulations, trade, energy, border security, judicial appointments, environmental, and even bipartisan bills.

I may disagree with your assessment of Trump's Presidency, but I'm still tossing you a 'like' because I believe in your sincerity here, and fair is fair.
😊

It's getting that TDS itch going again, ain't it?....just joking, but you made it too easy by showing your whole reason for posting is in seeing Trump wrong....:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:. Hell, the guy's not going to be right with his support all the time, come on man. Moderation in politics actually is a good and solid foundation in the South.....the problem will come from liberal progressive socialist agenda driven radicals moving into the neighborhood. Left or right, in the middle road is where the vast majority of Americans are politically.....the radical side of either will continue to be on the fringe and in the minority. The problem for us left and right moderates is the radical fringe minority are making the most noise, the squeakiest wheel, and are being heard and seen.....they take advantage of the moderates lackluster involvement in politics.
 
It won't be the first time that a Trump-backed candidate in Georgia lost.
Trump is sort of the opposite of Jimmy Carter.
Carter was a dreadful President but an exemplary ex-President.
Trump was a good President but is a pain in the south end as an ex-President. For that matter, he was a pain as President but at least he got the job done and done right.

Carter's heart is in the right place but he has no common sense.

For one thing, China is the most warlike nation in east Asia, bullying all its neighbors and threatening to invade Taiwan. Jimmy doesn't get that. Instead, he believes the front story like he believed Ayatollah Khomeini sought peace back in 1978.
