Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWhat I am hearing about Georgia is that Warnock is expected to win more easily because
Kemp won't be on the ballot and Kemp is who most Republicans came out to vote for in GA. They weren't that excited about Walker. Also, Walker is not winning a race where control of the Senate doesn't hinge on him winning and at this point with Dems already back in control of the Senate, it becomes all the more difficult for Walker to pull out a win.

(36,792 posts)They were already hurting since they blew their wad on loser Senate candidates (Thanks Rick Scott). And you know TFG is not going to pony up any of his money. He hates losers and Walker is the definition of a loser running so far behind Kemp. That must really grate on Trump.

as one magtard put it...
But control of the Senate is now out of play...
Will they turn out as vehemently for a guy who apparently does not know how to use a condom?
but who has PROVEN his ability to continually embarrass the GQP?
I think not.

(3,839 posts). . . we should not give a great big goddam what anyone says about Warnock's chances in the runoff. We -- and I include people like myself who don't live anywhere near Georgia -- need to donate, write postcards, write letters to editors in Georgia, volunteer with the Warnock campaign to make phone calls -- do everything we can to get out the vote.
We need to assume that Warnock is in danger and work like hell to re-elect him.
I was minding my own business tonight, watching the Georgia - Mississippi State football game only to have the game interrupted with two vile, racist anti-Warnock tv ads. Republicans are not taking anything for granted and are pouring a mountain of money into Georgia to trash Warnock and support the certified idiot Walker.

(14,602 posts)You are VERY correct. Dems must work like hell to get him elected by acting like he's still in danger -- precisely because he IS still in danger.
Show no weakness. Show no complacency. Show no fear.

(14,173 posts)GOP is mostly rural counties and they are less likely to get out and vote in a runoff, particularly when there's no one else on the ballot and we now already have a Dem majority so it won't affect control of the Senate.
The populated areas, metro areas, are where the D's are strongest and the people will get out and vote.
Take nothing for granted, keep working our ground game, get donations to fund the run-off campaign, and we should have a good result.
Keep working! Be of stout heart.

(27,742 posts)Let's face the facts. The only reason he stood a chance is because the republicans wanted a warm body in that seat. It's over. It will be a humiliating defeat for walker. Fuck that idiot.

(29,346 posts)than to motivate democrats to go out and vote for someone like Warnock. All those voters who voted for the libertarian candidate were already at the polls and couldn't be bothered to vote for Walker, even with the likelihood that the senate might be in the balance on election day. It seems it would be tough to sell them on making a special trip to vote for him now that the senate is already decided.
