The problem is that the Democratic Party effectively controls the black vote through the black church. There is no access to alternative views, no conservative voices. If they go against the Dems, they will be going against their community. So it is a tough and unfair choice. Very hard to overcome at present because of the social divisions.
Loeffler and Perdue did nothing to stop the steal. They weren't even vocal supporters of Trump. Loeffler only came out in favor of decertifying the fake results a day before the election. It took such a long time for her to decide to back our president. Loeffler and Perdue did not fight for Trump, ran a low energy campaign and just expected Trump supporters to vote for them.
Doug Collins would have won that race Loeffler lost. Kemp sabotaged the GOP by appointing an unknown woman who spent most of her life in Illinois to a Georgia Senate seat. He ignored Trump's demand that he appoint Collins. Just like how he ignored Trump's calls for a proper investigation into the election fraud.
Mr Romney, who has criticised the US president in the past, said Mr Trump had “disgraced” the presidency and that it was no surprise Republican voters were turned away by allegations that the 2020 presidential race was “rigged”.
"It turns out that telling the voters that the election is rigged is not a great way to turn out your voters,” Mr Romney was reported as saying, landing blame on the outgoing president.
“President Trump has disrespected the American voters, has dishonoured the election system and has disgraced the office of the presidency,” the Republican continued.
Mr Romney said ahead of the vote that “I'm confident we'll proceed as the Constitution demands and tell our supporters the truth, whether or not they want to hear it.”
This traitor is going to backstab Trump and the MAGA agenda yet again. Thanks for electing this idiot, Utah!
Here's the article.
"If you look at the last few months, the President of the United States spent more time attacking Gov. Kemp and Secretary of State Raffensperger than he did attacking Raphael Warnock and Senator-to-be-probably Jon Ossoff," he said, citing an unnamed CNN commentator.
Part of the blame, in Sterling's opinion, was the attack on mail-in voting and early voting - an action he said depressed turnout.
"While the Republicans were busy attacking the governor and my boss, the Democrats were out there knocking on doors and getting people out there to vote," he said, pointing specifically to Trump and new congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Warnock was a black pastor. Don't underestimate his influence among black church goers. He might be a fraud but he has influence. Loeffler also didn't make any effort to try and reduce his black support. It's very difficult to win in a state like Georgia if 92-93% of the blacks are voting for the Dem. The Dem margins need to be reduced. Trump was able to do that by focusing on Democrats' support for long lockdowns which will destroy jobs.
Just one day after losing their Senate majority, some Republicans in Congress are still reluctant to fight for President Trump. These low energy empty suits are weak and it is silly to consider them a last line of defence against the Democrats and their agenda.
Trump did better among black voters and Hispanics than any other Republican. Why? Because he could see things from the perspective of the working class. He emphasized that the lockdowns would take away jobs and ruin their livelihoods. Even if he didn't win among blacks and Hispanics, he swung many of them over.
Is there anyone else in the GOP who can articulate a working class oriented message and make it easy for all to understand? The empty suits in Congress are arrogant and out of touch.
In a 50/50 Senate, Harris would not even be needed because Romney, Murkowski and Collins will be tripping over themselves in their rush to vote together with the Dems on many bills. They want to be in power so they will align themselves to whoever is in power.
While Trump was demanding investigations into the fraud, Mitch McConnell undercut the president's message by saying that Biden won and he even said "All Americans can take pride that our nation has a female vice president for the very first time.”
Seriously, even without fraud, how was a divided GOP going to hold on to the two Georgia Senate seats? Trump knew how to win and believed that even if he had lost, he should not go down without a fight. He had a duty to get the states to prove that the election was fair. How could he or his supporters expect a fair treatment, after being subjected to four years of hatred and sabotage? What he wanted was not unreasonable. Surrender is not what the base wants. But McConnell and the spineless RINOs were eager to surrender. They did not care much about socialism and crazy leftists gaining power.
How are you going to motivate your voters if your message is "yes, our president lost but we need you to vote for two more uninspiring RINOs who will also not fight hard"? Mitch McConnell failed to see the stupidity of this and hopefully will now be replaced by a real fighter as a minority leader.
If he isn't president after Jan 20 and if the Dems steal it, he should build his presidential library in Florida. A presidential library will be ideal because Trump can use it to record the truth of what happened during his presidency. The battles that were fought, the backstabbing globalist RINOs and Democrat scum who tried their hardest to get rid of him. The truth must be preserved.
Mitch McConnell single-handedly caused the defeat in Georgia. He did not commit to $2000 relief checks for Americans but was okay with a bill that provides far less to Americans but sends millions to foreign countries like Pakistan.
Trump found the bill ridiculous, refused to sign it and told him to get onboard with $2,000 in the covid stimulus. But McConnell refused to budge and in doing so, allowed the Democrats to claim that they were the only ones who would give $2,000 in the stimulus checks. The Georgia election became a choice of whether people wanted $2,000 or not?
Trump's populist message - $2000 stimulus checks - got hijacked by Democrats and the useless RINOs did nothing to retake the narrative. Mitch McConnell deserved to lose his majority leader position because of his incompetence.

He himself contributed to the chaos with the Georgia shenanigans that he enabled. When people lose confidence in their elections due to widespread fraud and nobody seems willing to do anything about it, is it any surprise that this happens?
