It appears that if you wish to hold a statewide elected office in the state of Georgia, your platform had better be stronger then a bunch of lies about a mythical stolen election. As it should be.

Even Herschel is smart enough to know to steer clear of that nonsense. And that's saying something.
I'm no Kemp lover but I admire him sticking to his guns on the election lies and I'm glad to see that he pummeled Perdue. Same for Raffensberger who avoided a run-off after being left for dead last year.
Its strangely quiet in here though. Where are the 22% that voted for Perdue? 🤔 @TigerGrowls

Somewhere whining like a child about another election being stolen. How the hell is someone supposed to prove that they didn’t do something. The burden of proof is on the accuser
Can you just imagine the amount of fraud it would take to win by 50 points? You know he'll try to make that case anyway. 😂
I can only speak for my family in saying we made a great effort to vote for someone other than a Trump-endorsed candidate yesterday. He needs to go away! I was greatly dismayed that Marjorie Taylor Greene won her primary. I had high hopes we could be rid of that clown. Although I must admit, most of the people I voted for didn't win. I researched extensively instead of just voting for the big names. We missed out on some great candidates yesterday.

Your people gonna threaten to hang another VP, Kemp, or election commissioner because of this ?
Go stick a pineapple where the sun dont shine with that kind of attitude.
I’m happy to see those results as a Republican.
I've been clear that I think Trump is the biggest PoS to hold office in modern times (and I didn't necessarily disagree with many of his policies), and I've also been clear that I vote for members of both parties at all levels, so this isn't coming from a partisan side.
I was shocked the Republicans didn't take the opportunity Jan 6 presented them to rebuke and distance themselves from the clown. Would have been the perfect time to draw a line and win back the party from his influence. Maybe they were afraid to make him a martyr.
Given the opportunity, I will almost always vote against a Trump-endorsed candidate.
Dem voters crossing over likely saved Raffenspuke from a runoff with Hice.

The Jolt: Data shows thousands of Democrats voting in GOP primary
Are a significant number of Georgia Democrats part of the surge of voters casting ballots in GOP primaries? Early data suggests that could be the case.
7% crossed over so that could have made a difference but he still would have won in a run-off. The Big Lie is losing it's shine Growls 😅Dem voters crossing over likely saved Raffenspuke from a runoff with Hice.

These results just reflect that Perdue and Hice did not run good campaigns and did not get big support from enough voters. Big mistake to try and make it more than it is. The Trump name and his policy plan still is strong and carries a lot of weight nationwide.
I am extremely pissed over those two races though no doubt.

In interview after interview, Repubs around the state said his endorsement had no bearing on their decision. It was a smack in the face to his revenge campaign.
What do you mean by that? Warnock is liberal and Herschel is conservative and I think you will see Georgia overall lean conservative in November after the past year.
Because Warnock is competent and he's been doing a good job. Herschel shows no signs of being competent and is only running as a Trump proxy.
I think this is a fair assessment, but even so, do the voters in Georgia really believe Walker is intellectually capable to serve? I absolutely can see him winning due to his fame, but there can't be anyone who doesn't see him as a pawn being used, can there? I mean even Herschel may be bright enough to figure that out.
I think both things are simultaneously true. He's obviously a proxy, but his fame is on another level in this state. I can absolutely see him winning, too.
Since when does intellectually capable matter? It doesn’t matter for the President!
No one crying. I do note a rabid dem foaming at the mouth in short sighted joy.
Herschel is an incredibly successful business owner that employs many workers in the state of GA. Pompous attitude to call him stupid basically.

Kemp rolled back the gas tax until the end of May and sent most every Georgia resident checks in the mail. I have said before that he did some good things and he properly used the power of his office to aid his cause. Perdue and Hice didn't run good campaigns and tried to only talk election fraud as opposed to what they would do in office. I am much more stunned over Raffenspuke avoiding the runoff though.
No matter what kind of job he is doing, people look at the country overall and see where it is and want change. Whether change happens if you have a flip in parties or not, who knows. I just think most people on the fence will be leaning conservative quite a bit this November. I just don’t see how it’s any other way when you have a Democratic president with an extremely low approval rating.
History says you're absolutely right and if things don't improve between now and then, it will likely flip. But these aren't normal times and people will remember the Trump years as well as the cringe politics we're seeing in red states right now when they pull the lever. I just don't think it's the slam dunk that those on the right believe it is. And all the recent polling shows it could go either way.

if being intellectually capable to serve Biden would lose on that account and secondly
The poor man is suffering serious age related dementia
I was with two people yesterday helping with some legal issues suffering age related physical and mental issues and I am not a doctor but based on my own experiences would bet my life and children’s lives that Biden is serioudly into age related dementia is not All Timers joke here on pronunciation
Candidates are not required to be mentally competent nor sane
Just follow election process and get most votes
I don't know man. Claiming that trump never said the election was stolen is pretty insane.
I mean... The guy is objectively stupid.
But facts are irrelevant to candidates like Herschel and his voters.
Fact check: Herschel Walker falsely claims he never falsely claimed he graduated from University of Georgia | CNN Politics
Herschel Walker, the former football star who is now the Republican nominee for a US Senate seat in Georgia, is piling dishonesty upon dishonesty on the subject of his college education.
He was a poor choice. We can agree there. Still better than the alternative though. But it is true that Republicans often do some really stupid things and this was one of them. Quit voting for people who have notoriety or fame...
I have a very good friend who ran for office as a Democrat in our state and lost to someone who doesn't do their job anymore. 100% of the reason she lost is because she's not as known as the other person even though she was a far superior candidate and absolutely walloped her opponent in the debate. We need to elect good people on both sides and put a lot more effort into our choices.
