GA-SEN 2020 Class III Megathread: She Who Loeffs Last

[MT Treasurer]

Doug Collins will beat Kelly Loeffler in the primary. I've said this before. And if he is the nominee, Georgia will probably be close to Tossup status.

1. There will be no Republican primary here. Collins and Loeffler will both be on the November ballot, along with all other candidates.
2. This race is a Tossup even if Loeffler advances to the runoff (and you could argue that she’d be easier to beat in a runoff than Collins).

What about that measure that was proceeding through the Georgia state legislature? I haven't heard anything more about it. Is it now dead?

As to your second point, I'm still not ready to declare Georgia a Tossup, though it is certainly close to being one. The state still has a slight Republican lean that has yet to be overcome, and I'm still not too sure that 2020 will be the year it happens.

The bill that's going through the house wouldn't take effect this year if it passes. I think it's for the 2022 cycle.

I see. Well, in that case, I'll say that Collins will finish ahead of Loeffler in the jungle primary, and it probably won't be that close. The runoff would be close to a Tossup, then.

Interesting move from Trump, do you think that Collins could be interested ?

I think he's more interested in running for senate.

Having seen some private polling here, there is very little chance that Doug Collins will be persuaded out of this race.

Collins has already said he'll turn down the intelligence job.  (The jokes write themselves.)

My brain: "Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it."

Me: "Collins would actually need intelligence to do the job, & he's so afraid of intelligence that he doesn't even wanna direct it to his benefit. I mean, doesn't he know that national intelligence doesn't require you to actually have any functional mental intelligence, just loyalty to the Donald?"

I wonder what Collins's internals look like

There's another mental image I could have done without.

Was there a more expensive house in Georgia that's outside Metro Atlanta? Or can we just dispense with the qualifiers and say she has the most expensive house in the entire state?

The AJC is saying she’s been flying around on her private jet that lists for $7m that she just paid for in cash in December. Her office confirmed she owns it but didn’t say how much she paid for it.

What will good ole' boys Cletus and Jim Bob think of that?

Probably not too well saying even Perdue always flies commercial (and I know this for a fact).

Wish he'd enter the other race.

That's good. Some more ppl need to drop bc it's so crowded already.

Has anyone seen this anti-Collins ad about medicare for all? The only time I watch live tv is at work and I can't pause it to see who's paying for it.

Loeffler, alongside Senator Burr, was caught for Coronavirus insider trading.

What the actual f**k was Kemp thinking when he picked her? She's been a complete disaster from the start in every way possible.

[Bidenworth2020]

Loeffler apparently caught for insider trading.

Honestly, this isnt good news in terms of the Senate race. Basically solidifies that Collins ( the stronger candidate) will be republican.

[DrScholl]

Collins is pretty nuts and not a great fit for the suburbs so I'm not so sure he's that hard to defeat.

They're both weak General Election candidates. The GOP will slide even further in the suburbs with Collins.
