Of course, how do you think Trump is going to win NC and Florida? A rising tide lifts all boats, and David Perdue isn't just a tide, he's the whole ocean.



Look at the sheer charisma the man emanates.


I'm so bored that I'm reduced to s**tposting about the most mediocre member of the US Senate, please send help

Expert use of mirth to appeal to the optimistic Atlanta suburbanites upset with Trump's negative populism.

I think this dude really overestimates the importance of gaffes in his ratings/analysis. Post-Trump, the standards are a lot lower.

I'm actually not sure if this will have any impact. I kinda suspect that nearly all of the historically Republican voters in Georgia who would actually be bothered by this sort of thing are already voting for Democrats this year.

I mean, it probably won’t swing too many voters, but I think Dem pacs should could certainly run at least one “Kamamboamamla” ad in the Atlanta media market.

Every uncomfortable suburban voter who doesn’t pull the lever for Perdue gets Ossoff closer to the finish line.

Oh I agree, I just thought it was funny and similar to this.

Lol it definitely was. And it certainly doesn't help Perdue, especially with the growing Indian-American population in the Atlanta area.

This might be a good opening to bring up when Perdue suggested praying for President Obama to die.

https://www.businessinsider.com/david-perdue-obama-bible-2016-6

Quote
“I think we are called to pray," Perdue began. "I think we’re called to pray for our country, for our leaders, and, yes, even for our president. [In] his role as president I think we should pray for Barack Obama, but I think we need to be very specific about how we pray. We should pray like Psalm 109:8 says. It says let his days be few and let another have his office.”
Quote

How the verse goes

Quote
May his days be few;
may another take his place of leadership.
May his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.
May his children be wandering beggars;
may they be driven a from their ruined homes.

This isn't a gaffe; Perdue is simply an asshole.

Glad him purposefully mispronouncing her name and Loeffler with her Q-anon endorsement are really understanding that they're bleeding college educated white voters with each passing day.

This isn't a gaffe. They've been colleagues for four years and are on the budget committee together, he knows damn well how to pronounce her name.

The only way it could have been worse is if he tried doing a really bad version of an Indian accent.

Unfortunately I don't think this will hurt him as much as it hurt Allen. Unlike in 2006, when non-racists were still a small but significant part of the GOP coalition, at this point anyone who is open to voting for a Republican is a-okay with this kind of thing.

We keep saying this won’t matter, but Purdue’s Head of Comms felt compelled to spin the story on Twitter, which suggests there’s at least a little nervousness. If you thought the story would just go away, the last thing you’d do would be to farm out a defensive press release for the world to see.



Also, Ossoff is running with it:

Man, you’re right. He’s getting slaughtered.

Half the comments are people showing that they’ve sent money to Ossoff.

Looks like he’s getting some of that Jamie Harrison/Beto O’Rourke liberal rage cash.

What climate would Democrats need? It's a blue wave year.

Depends on how large the wave is though, if the Dems win by around 6 points nationally then Biden will proabbly lose Georgia and unless Osoff can outperform Biden he will lose too
