GA-SEN 2020 Class II Megathread (Perdue inc.)

[Rookie Yinzer]

What’s annoying is that Jaime Harrison raised $1.5 million in South Carolina and he will not win. “Woke” liberals in DC, NYC, and California need to stop donating off of emotion (hating Lindsey Graham because he is a high profile Trump sycophant) and be strategic.

Graham is beatable if luck is on our side.

This annoys me too.  Tomlinson and Cunningham are potentially competitve candidates who desperately need more money, and instead it's being flushed down the toilet in South Carolina.

To be honest, I feel that the Democratic Senate recruitment so far this cycle has been very weak across the board. Hegar in Texas is quite strong, but outside of that, I feel that in most races, all of the strongest potential candidates are sitting out.

I dunno.  On a state-by-state basis, things don't seem so bad.  It's still unclear who will be the nominee in Colorado, and while Hickenlooper would have put that contest away as soon as he announced, whatever Democrat does emerge out of Colorado will probably be a better Senator.  Hick taking a pass has turned Colorado into a resource pit, but it will probably be worth it ideologically in the end.  Arizona has a top-tier candidate in Mark Kelly, and Sara Gideon is a good get in Maine.  And while Tonlinson and Cunningham don't have the same name recognition as Abrams or (who's the Abrams of NC?), Tomlinson and Cunningham both have their merits and have few obvious drawbacks biographically.  In fact, whilte it's heresy around these parts, I kind of think Tomlinson is a better candidate than Abrams would be.  She's well poised to reap the benefits of Abrams's organizing in the Atlanta suburbs, and is probably more palatable to Georgia voters outside the Atlanta region.  But I'm from the Columbus area, so I'm a little biased.

Jeff Jackson?

The streets are saying that Ted Terry, the mayor of Clarkston is jumping in.

[President Johnson]

Is he formidable candidate or will Teresa Thomlinson maintain her status as Democratic frontrunner? I think she's a very good candidate.

Not worried about him. But he is on the Executive Committee for our state's Democratic Party so he isn't a nobody in Dem circles.

They were saying on the radio today that Perdue admits his fate is intertwined with Trump’s

Oh my God, it’s the guy from queer eye! And he uses some pictures with Jonathan from the show on his website!

Endorsed!

[Bidenworth2020]

this  guy looks cool but he would be smacked in a general, not to mention the primary

[Pollster]

Looks like he could certainly have the young white guy breakout potential like Beto or Kander, will be interesting to see if he generates buzz.

Graham is beatable if luck is on our side.

He's not beatable unless a sex tape is leaked showing him having sex with another man.

You have strange fantasies.

I can see this, but didn't happen at launch..... He may have a real moment though at some point.

Also, love when people just take random guesses at an election that's over 400 days away.

He will have to create a moment. The media and Dem activists would rather we spend time focusing on Solid R SC & KY bc of who the incumbents are. I can definitely see him having a Beto type run but IDK... I'm still going w/ Tomlinson at this point. He hasn't convinced me to vote against her.

If you think I fantasize about Lindsey Graham's sex life, you're even more insane than I thought. I wouldn't have sex with him for all the money in the world.

The whole "Lindsey Graham is gay" thing has been around for a while dude, he sets off like 90% of all gaydars

Teresa Tomlinson's rural constituency director sent this stupid ass tweet. #TeamAbrams swooped in to correct the record.



Uh... all Dems going forward better realize Abrams has set the standard for the next generation. You can't run on "not ignoring communities Democrats have abandoned" when Abrams did it all and then some! In my opinion, rural South GA took precedence over Metro Atlanta in her campaign and that's not a criticism. That's how passionate she was about engaging those voters.

Why do you think she did so bad in these areas then (worse than Hillary!)
