Homeboy you are screwed, Atlanta isn’t shrinking and the Georgia Republican Party has been inept for decades.

Ron is awesome. The most effective administrator in the Republican Party. He will likely never be president. People choose unimportant things over substance when voting for a president.

Florida would still be blue if Desantis didn’t clean up the corruption in south Florida.

Georgia definitely isn't a lost cause. The metro Atlanta Republicans and rural private school Republicans have always been more culturally aligned with Brian Kemp than Trump. A lot of them held their nose and voted for Trump before.

The MAGA base in Georgia has always been rural blue collar white people and lazy methy white people in trailer parks. In this election, I'm thinking a lot of those people felt conned and duped by Trump and either sat this one out or voted Democrat out of desperation.

A lot of those white retirees in FL came from liberal New England / Mid-Atlantic states. What DeSantis has done in the Sunshine State is pretty remarkable.

Florida has typically been about 50-50 in presidential races. Bush won, narrowly, Obama won narrowly. Cleaning up the corruption was enough to push it red, but it's still close to a 50-50 state. Reliable, yes, but it's not some 60-40 advantage that can never swing back.

What it does not have that Georgia does is the albatross of a single large metro area making up over half of the state's population, and people in cities vote left. That's difficult to overcome.

Rick Scott actually started that process, DeSantis continued it. And yeah, it makes a difference in tight races.

are you gonna deport all left wing trash that immigrate there? like they are doing to texas and NC? you gonna deport foreigners? shut down immigration?

cant blame black people. blacks voted for trump at a 20% rate in 2024. i have posted it many times.

look, trump won an EV blowout and all 7 swing states plus the popular vote. midterms never ever have the same excitement. win or lose. many admit they only vote for POTUS elections.

florida turned around by cleaning up voter fraud and they have plenty cubans who despise the left.

georgia is in deep shite unless draconian measures are taken.

Yes! We need the conservative side to split in two.

That will be a juggernaut steeped in electoral victories!
