Georgia isn't a blue state. It's a right-of-center state that hates Trump and his hand-picked candidates. Last year, Buck Sexton and Clay Travis had an hour-long segment where they took calls from Georgia voters and they got call after call from people who said they know several people who voted for every Republican on the ballot in 2022 except Walker. These people are Republicans but didn't like that Walker was Trump's boy and are sick of Trump's schtick. Walker was the only state-wide Republican who lost in 2022. In 2020 there were over 150k people who voted for at least 1 Republican on the ballot but not Trump, and after Trump injected himself into the runoff and surrounding himself with the Kraken BS, Independents who typically vote Republican stayed home or voted for Warnock and Ossoff, as they essentially saw Trump being on the ballot.
Heck, in 2016 Trump got under 51% of the vote in Georgia. Trump underperformed Johnny Isakson, who was in poor health, by 77,000 votes in the big 4 counties (Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, Gwinnett).

No offense, but if that is your marginal Republican voter, you live in a left of center state. Similar to AZ. Your description is reeking of California Republican, whom are libs that like low tax rates.

To this day, Isakson should never have run in 2016 after he got sick.

And I'll say it one more time...if Georgia is a blue state, then why the frick wasn't the whale elected governor?

Definitely untrue, the reason why Walker lost is because people are tired of the Johnny Isaacson’s and Saxby Chambliss’ of the World who do absolutely nothing except follow lockstep with the establishment
