I live, pay taxes, and vote in Georgia...IMO the Georgia Republicans traded control of the state of GA for the control of the US Senate. How did Brian Kemp and the rest of the GA state republicans win GA by 300,000+ votes and Herschel Walker lose by 55,000+ votes to a slumlord?
Meanwhile the loud mouth from the south Stacey Abrams rides off into the sunset without a friggin' peep out of her.

Was Walker that bad a candidate? Or did the cities cheat?

I guess a better way to ask, do you think a conservative could have won, I do not know much about Walker, but have never heard him referred to as a conservative.

IMO...Walker would have voted the Biblical principles first, Constitution second, and party line third.
The ads here in Ga made Walker out to be this violent psychopath that wanted to kill every woman he encountered yet between Walker and Warnock...Warnock was the only one with a mugshot and not one ad depicting this.

In my view Walker was not a good candidate, but GA GOP voters nominated him. This all began when Johnny Isackson had to resign for health reasons. While Kemp has done a good job his appointment of Kelly Loeffler was a disaster. I feel there were better possibilities like Doug Jones(I think that is his name). However, infighting within the GOP undermined the entire state organization.

The name came to me. Doug Collins would have been a better appointment.

Thanks. When I saw by how much he was out spent I didn't think he stood much of a chance.

I still say Trump made the wrong choice. Walker is a RINO and Patriots are fed up with feeding the Establishment.

I see some of the same problems that Georgia has here in Texas. I know a conservative could win the general election, but they will never win a primary here. We have had conservatives run for every statewide office, only to have a rino win the primary. Cruz is the exception, or should I say the closest. I don't know where the money comes from, but when the commercials start, it's one rino after another. Cornyn has to be the biggest rino in Washington, and yes I know that is a hell of a statement. In four years he runs again for reelection, if he wins the primary and Beto runs against him, I will vote for beto, I will never vote for Cornyn again. A damn idiot is better than a traitor.

If memory serves, Cornyn is in charge of the GOP purse, so there is no way a Conservative has a chance, regardless.
I agree, he has to go!

Hershel lost by about 100,000 votes. If you go to the trouble of looking up (https://www.washingtonpost.com/election-results/2022/georgia-senate-runoff/) the county returns you will see that the counties around Atlanta (DeKalb county - +200K Warnock, Fulton county - +200K Warnock) were heavily Democratic -- that's where the election was lost. Until we find a way to change that voter imbalance we will have a difficult time winning any close races where the population centers are heavily Democratic, as they are in a number of Republican and "swing" states.

I think the RINOs have the primaries rigged the same way the dems have the generals rigged.

Totally agree. What good is a "red" state if it puts people like Cornyn into office? BTW, my two biggest beefs about him recently are his "looking into" the "best" way to introduce amnesty, and his writing of the gun bill that does nothing about criminals and is only geared towards the law abiding. :cursing:
You folks talk about good candidates vs bad candidates as if it matters on who will win an election. When a conservative talk website is having conversations like this then we are truly fucked. I don't see anything changing until patriots start gathering in big numbers and are willing to sacrifice everything they've got. The normal way to resolve differences is over. No court ruling or political decree is going to right this ship. We are past the point of reason past the point of peaceful conflict resolution.

Yes, we cant fall into the trap of thinking it was the choice of candidate that lost and not massive democrat cheating. Elections are not gonna fix this if they dont get fixed first.
Yes we will have to fix this ourselves, but it still will be mostly peaceful. What trump is doing is building the anger of We the People to a fever pitch level. When it happens it will be peaceful because we will find 95% of people on our side wanting an end to the corruption. The only fighting will be as the left radical fringe realizes whats happening and will set up CHAZ in each major city for which the National Guard will be called in and that will be the end of that.
Its an illusion to think half the people or even a full 10% support the left and their antics today.

I always have the most respect for your opinions than 99% of the people I encounter...with that being said...I respectfully disagree and here is why...Kemp and the rest of the state wide run republicans won by 300,000+ votes except one, Herschel Walker, he lost by 100,000+. IMO Walker is not a 400,000 votes bad candidate.
Like I said...IMO...the republican run state of Georgia traded the US Senate for control of Ga.

It looks more and more like you nailed what happened. Do you think they did it so the democrats would keep control of the senate, or did the republicans do it to make Trump look weak and past his prime? I'm guessing in the coming months we will hear more and more from the republicans about how Trump and DeSantis are at war with each other hoping Pence will win out. I wonder if there are still posters who do not understand the term uniparty.

I am ignorant about Georgia politics but knowing the lefts election cheating craftiness I wonder why they permitted any Republican to win? Because we do know they control who wins and who doesn't win, right?

I think we agree. The GA GOP needs to be blown up. Why have they shunned Doug Collins who could have won as a conservative.

I grew up in East Point, which is adjacent to ATL. I grew up in "Mayberry", but it has evolved into a third world country. The ATL area has become a microcosm of NYC, Los Angeles and Chicago. It has been that way for years.

You just don't get it. How could he have won? Politicians are not elected they are selected and you better take a hard look at the Republicans the left selected.

It was hypothetical which I realize is above your head. The establishment torpedoed Collins so he could not succeed in the primary. Had he gotten on the ballot in the general his results would have mirrored Kemp and the other statewide GOP candidates.

Georgia is a red state. We are governed by red state policies, I wish I knew the answer to your question, the best I can come up with is Ga is controlled by nevertrumpers. I started to pay attention when the GOP started with the redistricting voter rolls. They took a large part of an African-American District, Ga-12 and made it part of Ga-13 weakening the voter rolls for Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG), meanwhile, strengthening the voter rolls for David Scott.

Yep. Collins has obviously pissed off a bunch of folks in the GA GOP.
It was sad about Johnny Isackson. He was a definite RINO, but a good guy. We were at UGA at the same time and I got to know him then. Almost got him to join my fraternity, but with him being from Buckhead there were only a few fraternities those guys joined.

The left needs to have controlled opposition in place so it doesnt LOOK like the left is taking over everything. If only leftists ever won their cheating would be too obvious so they have to arrange for some RINOs to win too.

Ya I dont buy into this bad pick argument. I mean maybe he was a bad pick but thats not why he 'lost'. When the dems decide they are gonna win by cheating they will do it, regardless of RINO or MAGA candidate.
