GA-SEN 2020 Class II Megathread (Perdue inc.)

[SnowLabrador]

After the Republican won the Secretary of State runoff, I think that Abrams stands no chance.

[SnowLabrador]

It's official. Stacey Abrams will deliver the response.

[SnowLabrador]

It's looking like Abrams might run for President instead. Ugh, we don't need more Presidential candidates. We need Senators.

[SnowLabrador]

I'd still prefer Abrams.

[SnowLabrador]

Boo. Officially Likely R rather than Lean R.

[SnowLabrador]

This really just took the air out of the balloon for me for 2020. The Dems are not taking back the Senate and everything they will debate and nitpick about in the primary is useless because McConnell will block everything.

Yes. Stacey Abrams really wants to protect voting rights, doesn't she? Well, in that case, the best way to do that is to join the US Senate and help pass HR 1.

Tilt R, Perdue 50-48 in runoff

In the runoff, there are only two candidates. Perdue could win 51-49 there, but not 50-48, because there'd be no one to get the 2% of third-party votes.

[SnowLabrador]

I really hope Amico doesn't jump in

Same. I hope Teresa Tomlinson gets the primary field to herself. Because she really needs it.

[SnowLabrador]

Sarah Amico pretty much confirmed on her Instagram that she's running.

Please don't. Tomlinson is good enough.

[SnowLabrador]

Democrats are not going to win GA in 2020, and it will be bittersweet because obviously I want them to but like it’ll be funny to come back here and all these other threads to laugh just like last time.

It's fine to disagree with others on the Democrats' chances in this race or any other race particularly when there's literally no path for them to be successful. What isn't fine is to concern troll and act as if your opinion is right when there literally is a path for a Democrat to win Georgia if cards are played right.

The point is that it's still early and it's foolish to be calling a race that is likely a tossup off because it's apparently your favorite thing to do.

I wouldn't call Georgia a tossup.

[SnowLabrador]

Dems dont need GA, and its a run-off, now that KS, with Barry Grissom is running

Georgia is an uphill battle, but doable in a good enough environment for Democrats. In Kansas, we would need literally everything to go right to have a chance.

[SnowLabrador]

Yeah, I'm supporting Ossoff now. He can probably raise way more money than Tomlinson. I still wish Abrams would step in and save us.

[SnowLabrador]

Hopefully Tomlinson's new fundraising director helps her raise enough cash to be viable statewide. But, according to the article I've linked below, this primary is turning out to be quite nasty, which will only help Perdue.

[SnowLabrador]

Perdue will win 55-44.

[SnowLabrador]

Yeah, this is Safe R. Ossoff will not be able to compete with the massive amount of money Perdue has and will continue to raise.

[SnowLabrador]

Dem recruiting for both GA seats has been quite disappointing

Agreed. I think it's very telling that no remotely decent candidates decided to run for this seat. Ditto with Iowa and Texas.

you don't like hegar? Beto should have passed on prez and challenged cornyn imo

Hegar's okay, but she's not raising nearly enough money. Beto is the only one who might have had a chance.

[SnowLabrador]

Hopefully this ad hurts Perdue, but since GOP voters love racism these days, it might help him.

Not bad! Not bad at all!

[SnowLabrador]

I think the chances of a runoff here are overestimated. I doubt Hazel (the Libertarian) gets more than 1%, and he's the only third-party candidate on the ballot.

[SnowLabrador]

I still don't think this will matter.
