2020 Congressional Election

The Trump Campaign is raking in the money, ostensibly for overturning the Presidential Election.
That means that his fans are not contributing to the Georgia Run-of.
 
I've been trying to find a pro-Trump PAC pushing for a boycott of the Senate runoff to donate to but I haven't found one yet. There's a Twitter hashtag and some influencers pushing it but no organized effort. Pity.

Yeah, Trump is taking his supporters to the cleaners.
Only to be expected.. "A Fool And His Money Are Soon Parted".
Being a Con Man is the only thing Donnie is good at.
 
Just curiosity: The new Senate takes office on Jan 3. The Georgia runoff isn't until the sixth. Do Leoffler and Purdue's terms expire, leaving Georgia with no Senators until a new one is seated? No practical effect, R's still have a 50-48 lead, just wondering.

Perdue's term certainly expires.
Loeffler? Probably not, as that is a special election.

Loeffler's appointed term ends when the special election winner assumes office in January 2021.

ETA: nitpick: runoff is on the fifth.

Just saw, on CNN, one of the Democratic ads in the Georigia race., the one with a "Night Before Christmas" theme.
It's nasty. Caals Perdue Chicken Perdue because of his refusal to debate.
Glad to see the Dems do an ad like that. They seem, for once, not bringing a knife to a gun fight.
 
Interesting...

Democrats debate empty lecterns,
Republicans debate empty chairs,
and third parties don't debate at all.
 
One pill makes you larger,
and one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all

According to Wikipedia, he isn't even related to the chicken family!
 
Trump Tweets

RINOS @BrianKempGA, @GeoffDuncanGA, & Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, will be solely responsible for the potential loss of our two GREAT Senators from Georgia, @sendavidperdue & @KLoeffler. We Won’t call a Special Session or check for Signature Verification! People are ANGRY!
 
Newt tweets.

@newtgingrich
Why is Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger working so hard to add drop boxes and take other steps to make it harder for Republicans to win. Is he really that intimidated by Stacey Abrams?

How dare people be allowed to vote!
 
I live in Georgia and during non prime time hours there are times when every commercial during a commercial break is a political ad for the senate runoff. I have never seen this in my life. An insane amount of money is being spent by both parties.

They should be very strongly encouraged to not participate in an obviously fraudulent run-off election, given that Dominion machines are being used again. Don't give Chavez and the socialist Democrats any satisfaction! Don't play their game! Stay away from the Dominion voting machines! That'll teach 'em!
 
Loeffler in Grogia trying to disassociate herself from a Photo of her posing with a White Natinalist leader. Nice.

Maybe Newt is looking to do what Trump is doing:

Trump is fundraising off Georgia races, but his PAC isn't spending it on candidates

Newt has been living off campaigning for a couple decades, and when you see him pop his head up it usually means he out to boost book sales.

It's so important to stop Mitch McConnell from blocking anything he wants to block by not allowing it to get on the Senate calendar for a vote.

Biden Team Puts Foot Down Over GOP Effort To Handcuff Fed As Trump Leaves Office
President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team on Friday decried Republicans’ efforts to shackle the Federal Reserve as Biden enters office.


Both sides in recent days have indicated they’re close to a deal on a stimulus bill aimed at buoying the U.S. economy as it weathers the COVID-19 storm.

But reports Thursday and Friday indicated Republicans wanted to rein in the Federal Reserve’s powers to help businesses and municipalities stay afloat, efforts it’s pursued for months through programs set up in the last COVID-19 stimulus bill, but which the Trump administration and congressional Republicans have sought to cut off as Trump leaves office.

The Repugs can't pass this without the Democrats who hold the House. But they have thrown it in as a last minute demand to pass the new relief bill. IOW they have no problem trashing any and everything to cripple the Democrats, the country and people in it be damned.
