Rog, haven't you been arguing with them about their leftist economics for some time?


Absolutely.

Ive made it clear that Trump isnt Republican, and hes not.

What does that have to do with Ga?

What narrative? This answer will be fun.

I'm sure he can. But they don't want him.

That's why this is virtue signaling.

Its obvious slo they don't want him paraded around to media outlets as a republican expert commentator like other rino media types.

But they don't get to make that choice and look petty as shite trying.

That's the whole point.

Why are you comparing Rog to a former republican politician of Georgia? I doubt Rog knows the secret handshake.

Or that firing a crappy coach is "virtue signaling."

I get it, he loves to take a term that the nominal right uses as a pejorative and apply it to them, it's just nonsensical in this case.

Thats a good parallel.

What he's trying to do is frame Republican actions in a way that causes negative reactions, using emotional language like "virtue signaling."

This is the way. Duncan did his part to hand 2020 over to the Marxists and deserves this. Now if we can just get this done with Kemp, Raffensperger and Carr, we might see some strength in the republican party of GA. I won't hold my breath for that though as those 3 still hold power and have backing from other RINOs in the party.

Holding traditional conservative fiscal views should be mandatory to receive money from the national Republicans.

An educated person would weigh both the acts and the justification before making comments. Stop being a contrarian for contrarian's sake.

the woman from Maine

The woman from Maine is a Republican treasure, in that she is the absolute most conservative candidate who can win that seat. That’s exactly what the Republicans should strive for. Get rid of her, and run the candidates you would approve of, and the seat flips to Democrat, and that could cost you the chamber in some years.

Without knowing anything about the situation, how did you so quickly determine the acts were petty?

I don't know about the other two but Kemp has the backing of the voters. He easily beat a popular black female in a state Trump won by 2 points.

It doesn't matter what the justification is.



So justifications never matter? If justifications never matter then how can you determine the acts are petty instead of justified?

Guilty until proven innocent, eh? (well, except that proof doesn't matter in your paradigm)

Duncan responded by saying, “Hard to believe this is a good use of time for a party that’s only got a limited amount of time to figure out mass deportations, world peace and global tariffs. Learn how to take a victory lap not light another dumpster fire.”


This idiot thinks the Georgia GOP is going to be working on deportations and tariffs.

There is no doubt media types would run to Duncan for anti-Trump, anti-GOP remarks regularly to show dissension within the party.
The party is saying hey, that's bullshite, we've kicked his arse out
