Great response to Trump from George's Secretary of State

GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger
@GaSecofState

Georgia’s elections are secure. The winner here in November will reflect the will of the people. History has taught us this type of message doesn’t sell well here in Georgia, sir.

That’s trying to steal an election. Are they really that out of touch with reality?

When it comes to the terrible things he says and does, there's no straw they won't grasp to justify it. The only thing that matters to them is that they feel like he makes it okay for them to hate.

Of course it didn't help him win the last election.

Anyone else might have done a midcourse correction.

and they’ve booted many citizens off the voter rolls, but they are not going to fudge election results, pretend there’s fraud when there’s no evidence of it, support slates of fake electors, etc.

They’re also not going to commit careericide by endorsing Harris, but I think they’re all looking ahead to a post-Trump Republican Party, and they want to be well positioned when that day comes.

crimes for trump. They don't have a problem disenfranchising GA voters though.
However, I do agree with him, trump should remember that he turned off many republicans in 2020 and also lost the republicans 2 senate seats.

I'm envisioning a whole bunch of frantic calls going on among Trump's donor base right now. They know they've lost the top of the ticket, and are now worrying about the impact it will have on all of the down-ticket races. I expect that support for both Trump and the RNC is going to dry up in the next few weeks, as they do everything they can to stave off what they see as an all too obvious train wreck.

If he keeps acting like this against supposed ALLIES, he's going to end up with 25 percent of the vote. If he's lucky.

All he knows how to do is spew cheap, petty, childish, playground level taunts. And he actually thinks this ridiculous garbage makes him look like a big, strong, macho man!

What's even wilder is that he has cultists who evidently also think this dreck makes him look like a big, strong, macho man! I can only conclude that joining a cult like his requires a willingness to keep one's eyes firmly shut to even the tiniest crumb of evidence that the dear leader is in actuality a babbling moron.

Owes him for getting him elected? I'd like to see some proof about that. There is no proof, because it's impossible to prove. Trump is so full of himself it makes me sick. And he never stops with this fake loyalty shit. This man has no place in our politics. 2025 is going to be some rough year for this loser. I can't wait.
