Walker was a bad candidate. Plain and simple.

[Gfunk20]

Ga GOP has nobody to blame but themselves. If Ga has shown that the country is ready to move on from Trump, don’t know what will. Kemp ran a fantastic campaign. Never tangled with Trump or poked him back…even when Trump was begging for him too. Ran straight on his record (which was and is really good) and never mentioned Trump. What happened? Ran away with the governorship. Also, he is a good guy with good character. News flash…CHARACTER MATTERS in elections. Walker had too much baggage. I love and will always love him as a Bulldog but he was just a bad candidate propped up by Trump. All of Trump’s major endorsements that were not in deep red Trump areas lost. A Trump backed candidate didn’t win one major race in a swing area. That should tell you everything you need to know.

The RNC needs Lee Zeldin to take over. If it wasn’t for what he did in New York, R’s lose the House. Ronna McDaniel keeps residing over losing Republican elections since 2018. I don’t know many people that keep their job for poor performances by Ronn defies the odds and the RNC continues to chase its tail thinking it will one day catch it with McDaniel in charge. Until the RNC and GOP take a long look at themselves….they’ll keep losing elections. Open up to early voting and stop telling everyone that mail in voting is fraudulent. Play the D’s game. R’s rely entirely too much on Election Day voting. Stop with the BS of the “silent majority” crap and play the D’s game. Get people to early vote and stop treating it like it’s the spawn of evil.

You crap all over your own point when you say character matters and Warnock in the same post.

 

[Savannah_Dawg]

AMEN!

LOL now do Warnock’s character!

 

[zingerdawg]

Can’t disagree with a lot of that. It also helps that Warnock spent 125 million to 40 million by Walker. That is how much was spent on, if we are being honest, two complete abomination candidates. Georgia keeps embarrassing itself. The money doesn’t include what the rnc and dnc spent on ads etc. Just incredible. For a grifter and a football legend

Whatever you say dude. Fact is Republicans keep losing every election cycle. Ronna needs to go. Don’t know many people that keep their jobs and be as awful as she has but the RNC continues to defy the odds. The Ga GOP set themselves up for this. Put up probably any other candidate other than Walker and this thing isn’t even in a runoff. But the GOP continues to put up bad candidates and the facts are the facts…they’re mostly tied to Trump. Get out of the Trump shadow GOP and then push forward with solid candidates like Zeldin, Kemp, DeSantis, etc and 2024 might bring hope. Currently all the GOP is doing now is taking L’s. The House is not in Republicans’ hands if not for Zeldin. Plain and simple .

I’m a Desantis guy. Heck I voted for Cruz over Trump. I was surprised at what a great job Trump did as President. But trust me you and the rest of the chat Dem’s will say Desantis is a Nazi as soon as he wins the nomination

He is a grifter, who his own wife said is an actor. He has about 20 skeletons that came out during this election. He just had 20 less skeletons than Walker. Either way he is a pos. And will lead us into a recession. I enjoyed listening to a conference call where 75 people were laid off today before Christmas. Thanks to the admin policies. Maybe some of the 200 million can go to these folks after their two months of severance goes away. F off right now.

A pub with questionable character/qualifications will have Pub elected officials going on national TV and endorsing a Dem with just as many issues. See Trump/Walker. Dem candidate with questionable character will have money showered upon them, negative stories quashed and every relevant Dem 100% on board with their campaign. See Biden/Fetterman.

Man, if the Pubs can't figure out securing the border and enacting a sane immigration policy, confronting China on trade and human rights, energy independence, responsibly managing the PEOPLE'S treasure and governing in the best interest of the American people is a winning formula, they're probably to stupid to govern. Just because Trump supports a policy doesn't mean you have to choose between holding his hand or running away from the policies.

 

[anesthesiadawg25]

That’s not really an excuse. Democrats put out shitty candidates ALL the time and they all fall in line and back them.

The Republican Party has a huge problem with disenfranchising its voters by the infighting and squabbling they do amongst themselves. No reason Herschel was outspent and out campaigned in GA as badly as he was.

 

[dawgfood0612]

Every statewide Pub won by substantial margins except Walker. Many of us pleaded with Pubs here to vote for Gary Black, and Black would have won by a wide margin. How many elections does Trump have to cost the Pubs before they throw his sorry ass to the curb. Just a massive unforced error.

 

[TheKangInTheNorth]

Ah feels good to have not one but two Democratic senators from Georgia. What a great day for the people of Georgia

Yep. They aren’t afraid to cross lines to vote left. If they don’t like a candidate or what he stands for, they will cross. Dems don’t care if he has had a stroke, kicks puppies or is a dimented old man. They will vote the same. It is breathtaking. Working class Dems are completely taking it on the chin right now. With no changes coming. Except they are going to be taxed more. Lol. They still vote left. It is impressive, stupid and masochistic. It doesn’t change. The right needs to figure it out quick.

Won’t disagree that walker was a flawed candidate. The Republican Party prior to trump was complicit in assisting democrats push their agenda - no borders, our source to China, more wars, turn our country over to Europeans. Which platform do you want for Republicans? Why not just admit you like the Dems policies


I hate Trumps boorish personality. But he remade the Republican Party policy and the base. He is probably the only person that special interest won’t co-opt to the uni party agenda. I wish there was another candidate but don’t see it


We are in trouble. Warnock is a terrible candidate for georgia

[poorpreacher]

Generally agree with the OP. Republicans shot themselves in the foot with Walker, and you could see it coming a mile away.

Here is the deal. I'm not sure how to word it, but Republicans are much easier political targets than Democrats. They just are.

Yes, Walker has character issues. But so does Warnock. But that doesn't matter. "Walker isn't fit for the Senate" is the rallying cry.

John Fetterman isn't capable of basic conversation, and beat Dr. Oz.


If you are a candidate, the R by your name puts you at an automatic disadvantage, as soon as you qualify. It is possible to overcome that disadvantage, Brian Kemp, for example. But you can't give any additional ammunition to your opponent, beyond what already inherently exists.

If you are a Democrat, you can be a immoral, incompetent, incoherent idiot and win easily.
If you are a Republican, you have to be darn near perfect.

Walker wasn't anywhere close.

How about Pubs simply being honest? How about having the guts to just tell Orange Jesus they’re done with his lying ass, fantasy election, constitutional BS, and all things MAGA, focus on reality, the people’s desires, and govern from a centrist perspective? So long as Pubs cling to the fantastical / false claims, hob-knob with anti-semites, racists, or radical or far right groups as Proud Boyz, reinforce / support candidates as Gaetz and Green, etc, the party is doomed to failure. I’ll believe pubs possess a scintilla of guts when it’s verified.

Every other Republican in GA in a state wide race this cycle won going away.

HW was objectively one of the worst congressional candidates offered up by a major party in my lifetime and yet he still was within two points of winning. All of the excuses offered up in this thread ignore the fact that almost all of Trump’s candidates lost in 2022. Thankfully, there are enough independents who are sick and tired of the of extreme element of the Republican Party and they will hold their nose and vote Dem until Republicans get their house in order.

Of course the problem is an actual pivot toward the center and a full throated rejection of the conspiracy theory/QAnon/election fraud/antisemite narratives will alienate a meaningful block of their current voters and Trump will do everything he can to help make that happen.

Interesting days for the Republican Party as they try and walk this tightrope. The very small majority they have in the House may turn out to be worse than being the minority. MTG and the loon squad will have a lot of airtime and despite what some on the Chat believe, it’s not going to help in 2024.
