Really? No idea. You think tens of thousands of mail in ballots with votes against Trump and votes for Kemp and other GOP in down ballot races would be difficult to arrange? Okay.

A few old school RINOs who are becoming irrelevant are upset - boo fricking hoo. Perhaps they and Mitt Romney, Carl, Jeb and others should just form their own party because Americans are sick and fricking tired of RINOs


Here is the thing: they aren't

RINOs/GOPE dominate both Congress and the House. MAGA can barely win races

What I don’t get is, if that is truly the case and Kemp personally set that up, why would you antagonize him?

That would be a situation where you want to gain his support and use that.

Yeah, Kamala just announced and had a massive partisan media blitz behind her. Of course she had a bump in the polls. There has also been some spin to those polls. There's already signs that honeymoon has quickly ended. But for a few days the propaganda media told you everyone loves Kamala now and you believe it. The only person with lower approval ratings than Biden was Kamala. Now you think everyone loves her? I don't.

Their arguments make no rational sense

This is all just emotions (anger, primarily) at the steal.

That's why any rational analysis/questioning ends up with these same meltdowns. It's like...they've repeated these things so often, that's all they can respond with and how they see their entire political worldview. If only we had terms to describe such scenarios/behaviors

It's even more insane when you consider Kemp has governed to the right of Trump and most R governors and his only GOPe crime is not being sufficiently loyal to Trump (although he's been quietly supportive for 3 years and barely rebuked Trump despite Trump's toddler outburst Saturday).

That said, Trumps org should be working on recruiting poll watchers and securing the election instead of attacking allies.

Based on what?

Again, everything, including Vegas odds, continue to move in Harris’ favor.

No, I don’t believe everyone loves her. She is a useless prop.

That is not the problem.

You need to get it through your thick skull.

Their goal is not to gain votes for Kamala.

Their goal is to continue to let Trump shed votes.

And he is doing a bang up job of that at the moment.

What exactly do you consider procedural? Lack of standing? Lack of evidence? Keep in mind that the majority of these cases were dismissed by trump-appointed justices.

Remember when you tried this the other night, I called you out for being completely incapable of having any level of substantive discussion with me on anything, and you bailed?

You aren’t dumb for supporting him.

Trump’s supporters are dumb for not calling out dangerous behaviors and statements that are affecting his odds of success.

He and people like him have little at stake in this election, it's been like that for years for some of them

They lash out at anyone who hasn't "bent the knee" because they don't like what it says about them that they have completely supplanted their worldview for Trump's.

I'm voting Trump because I support his policies and because the alternative is a fricking disaster... a proven disaster.... and any GOP voter or politico entertaining the alternative as a viable option over Trump should kill themselves. I don't worship anyone I have barely ever even watched a full Trump speech. But I know where he stands on policy and America first, and I know who wants to see him destroyed and why... That's all I need to know to support him. I don't cry about every mean tweet or some negative comment he makes about his political enemies... especially after all the negative things they have done to the man over the last several years and all the negative things they say constantly about Trump and his supporters.

It was dumb to attack kemp and I support trump much more than kemp.

The problem is giving leftist shite journos real ammo even if it’s small.

A few prominent rinos will cry and maybe you lose 1,000 votes but why lose any

Kemp and his rino buddies need a meeting with Trump then come out and support him and stop the nonsense

Kamala is a terrible candidate. No doubt. But… People don’t want to be embarrassed of who they are voting for. If one was going to vote for dementia addled Biden--even a democrat might be embarrassed. Thats not the case with “historic” Kamala Harris.

For people in purple areas with mixed friends… you have to ask who would they most be embarrassed of voting for. Then ask yourself if Trump doing that. Or placating the clapping seal crowd

I'm going to try to explain this to them for the 100th time.

When Trump tried to change the demographics of the GOP and make it a working/lower class and uneducated laborer party, this shift left behind a huge chunk of traditional republicans. They are Republicans (moreso than MAGA, if you look at what that means historically), but not big MAGA supporters. Their support of Trump/MAGA can be lost (may not lead to DEM votes, but they may not show up).

These people have shown they will not show up (or support DEMs in some cases) if Trump (or his adjacent candidates) debases himself enough. This is exactly how Trump (and his 2 Senators) lost GA while someone like Kemp won easily.

Trump cannot win unless a very large % of this population shows up and votes for him.

They do not like Trump when he devolves into his temper tantrums, especially if the target is someone they prefer to Trump.

Given this, someone explain to me the logic of Trump attacking Kemp unprovoked by Kemp.
