Trump endorsed Oz in PA, and a lot of his MAGA minions aren’t having it www.thedailybeast.com/the-backlash-over-trumps-dr-oz-endorsement-shows-his-hold-on-the-gop-is-slippingSome are suggesting that possibly Trump’s best days are past him, and he’s now being duped by advisors (sent by McConnell) who are pushing him to pick crappy, non Trumpians candidates. Actually I can see why Trump picked Oz - he’s popular on TV, which means people like him. It’s all about how much people like you, platform or morals don’t matter at all. Curious to see how this endorsement will impact that chaotic primary.

If every single one of his endorsements choke, will he finally go away?

I hope Trump loses big. For some unknown reason Trump has endorsed Lt. Gov Janice McGeachin for Governor of Idaho, against the sitting GOP Governor. She is crazy, but is she too crazy for Idaho. I don't know.

I don't know. If she were to win the primary, do the Democrats have a strong enough candidate to squeak by her in the general?

Whoever wins the republican primary will be the next Governor, no matter how crazy that candidate is. It is really unfortunate, because I don't think most of the population is as extreme as the policies that get passed, but they vote for anything with an R beside their name.

Trump hates the current republican Governor, Kemp, for not throwing out the GA presidential vote in 2020, so he’s running Perdue, who used to be a Senator, and who isn’t that popular because he got caught making a shit ton of profit on stocks he moved around to take advantage of Covid. Plus he looks like someone carved his face from a tree trunk - not much personality. Last I heard Perdue was trailing Kemp, and Trump, being Trump, said if Perdue lost the primary to Kemp, the Trump MAGA voters would boycott the general election, which means Stacye Abrams will win, which is what a lot of us want to begin with. So maybe Trump will weigh in on your elections, too, and accidentally get a Dem elected😁

Just checked - Kemp is polling so far ahead of Perdue it looks like he might win outright, and not need to do a run off with Perdue.
Surprising. I figured Georgia was crammed with MAGA minions.

That should be the kiss of death. I don't know about you, but I can't count the number of times/sins I have thought that about. Surely ____ will bring down Trump. My brain is beginning to think he's like the roadrunner in the old cartoon.

My brain is beginning to think he's like the roadrunner in the old cartoon. Yeah, I was 100% sure that ‘grab ‘em by the kitty’ comment would keep him from getting elected the first time. I mean, that would kill 50% of the vote right there, if none of the women voted for him. Right? ~ sigh ~
