Dude’s gonna get creamed and he knows it… Especially now that Trump has abandoned him.
But by all means, accuse Kemp of stacking the deck and draw out your temper tantrum well into the general election cycle.
So he’s going to stamp his feet and hold his breath like a 3yo spoiled brat. Par for the course for this brats.
Republicans Murder Language
Now, “winning an election” is a meaningless metric.
Trying to be like Trump in all areas.
Cheating an election is their game now.
Openly cheating that is.
Trump endorsing the losing candidate in this primary race could be good news for two reasons:
- If the Trump-backed candidate gets creamed then it sends a signal to the GOP that embracing Trumpism isn’t necessarily a winning election strategy anymore.
- Trump’s continued attacks on Kemp could depress Republican turnout in the general election and help Stacy Abrams get the much-deserved win she was robbed of last time around.
So we’ve gone from “there was massive voter fraud in the 2020 election … but only in these four states … and only with respect to the vote for the presidency, and no other votes on the same ballot … and only in counties where Trump lost” to “there was massive voter fraud … but only in the 2024 primary … and only in Georgia … and only for the Republican candidate … and only for the office of governor … and only in counties where Perdue lost.”
This fraud is getting so specific!
It’s like anything else in life – you get better results when you narrow your focus. They’re hoping it might work this time.
And they are very clear on their intentions in case anyone is listening.
Will he be the tough man or the tender chicken?
Ugh, Perdue really is even worse than Kemp. He’s calling for Abrams to “go back to where you came from” even though she’s lived in Georgia since childhood. I’m surprised he didn’t just call her a “carpetbagger” out loud.
Perdue is French for:
lost
waste
confused
wasted
lose
stray
losing
loss
gone
forfeited
hopeless
doomed
ruined
godforsaken
missing.
He’s got all that covered in so many ways.
We can expect this from the MAGAts from now on; it they lose, claim fraud, demand endless recounts, sue, sue, sue again, Due to all the MAGAt judges You Know Who installed, a sutprising number of elections will be put in limbo.
That might be the best-case general scanario; that all the claims of fraud cause the MAGAts to believe their own bullshit & stay home on Election Day.
These whiny weaklings sure are sore losers, always with the “wanting a do over” or what not.
Talk about a low bar.
Let’s all hope that Stacy Abrams can pull out a win in November.
Carpetbagger if we’re lucky.
We all know he REALLY wants to say something else.
I’ll say this for Trump and Perdue and their kind: detecting voter fraud can be a lengthy, complicated business involving detailed investigations and expert scrutiny. And most of the time, it entirely fails to show any kind of significant fraud at all. But they’ve substituted all that with a simple, definitive test that can be applied even by non-experts: did the frothingly-insane would-be autocrat win? No fraud. Did they lose? Conclusive proof of massive voter fraud.
It’s this kind of unambiguous decision procedure that we really need in these difficult times, and the savings in terms of both time and money are likely to be considerable. Well done, Mr. Trump and Mr. Perdue. A grateful nation thanks you.
