GA-SEN 2020 Class III Megathread: She Who Loeffs Last

[TrendsareUsuallyReal]

She might go down as the single worst candidate in recent history. Kemp is such an idiot for appointing her.

Roy Moore will claim that title for at least the next 20 years

Martha Coakley disagrees.

That's disingenuous, and I think you know it. If Martha Coakley was a credibly accused pedophile, she would have lost both her races by double digits. It really doesn't take much for a "moderate" Republican to win in a blue state--white liberals love them some RINOs. The Roy Moore saga was perhaps the one thing that could ever lead to a Democratic victory in Alabama.

I can't comment on Massachusetts, but Larry Hogan certainly did very well for a Republican among black voters in Maryland, in the 2018 gubernatorial election, and against a black Democrat (Ben Jealous), no less. His approvals have been very high among both white and black voters alike.

I was being facetious, but that's not my point. My point is that Roy Moore is probably the single worst candidate nominated by a major party for a high profile winnable race in recent memory (yes, this includes Todd Akin and Martha Coakley), and that even despite all of that, he still almost won in Alabama thanks to the R label.

I really don't see how this is debatable. If you take an Akin prototype and run him in AL-Sen in 2017, he wins. If Republican Martha Coakley runs in Alabama Senate 2017, she wins.

I see what you are saying. I'll agree with you that Moore is the worst candidate nominated by either party in recent years. Without him, that Senate seat would still be in Republican hands. Being an accused pedophile is certainly much worse than Akin's "legitimate rape" comments and Coakley's weaknesses as a candidate.

Does anyone know Warnock’s stance on the filibuster?

[wbrocks67]

Is Loeffler trying to lose at this point? Her feud with the WNBA and Black Lives Matter is going to turn away any possible chance at *any* moderate Republicans voting for her.

She's trying to win hicks and become a conservative martyr to get into the runoff.

That's probably her only viable strategy to beat Collins for a spot, too. Portray herself as the victimized conservative willing to "stand up" to the left.

[Suburbia]

Collins will win anyway

Loeffler goes back to business somewhere

Here we have a woke suburban professional lady amongst her people in Cobb County.

It worked well for Kemp against Cagle.

For all the handwringing about Warnock, Collins is a pretty bad fundraiser. Warnock raised over 2X this amount. Needs to get his message out more. Not a lot of enthusiasm out there it seems for Collins OR Loeffler

omg, only $900K

Yeah, Warnock can take either one of them in a runoff. Even if Biden wins. 

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I really hope you're right, but I think Collins probably wins the runoff.

[Suburbia]

Collins wins it all, but GAGOP has no good candidates to run for these positions.

Karen Handel is a ultimate white Karen, Austin Scott would have done well.

It's about time!

I haven’t been following this race and have only ever seen people online talk about Warnock as the Democratic candidate. If he’s so popular, why isn’t he beating this Lieberman guy? If this Lieberman guy is so much closer to making the runoff than Warnock, why isn’t the party coalescing around him?

Probably because Warnock is only now dipping into his cash, whereas Leib has alreadybeen on the air for a while.

[wbrocks67]

Warnock got some great coverage from the service yesterday. He should be launching those ads now to build on the momentum of people actually seeing and hearing from him.

[Storr]

I wish Lieberman would drop out. The worst possible outcome would be an all Republican runoff.

One could just as easily say the same thing about Warnock.

[Lognog]

Considering Liberman is running ahead of everyone else, they should drop out

U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler granted an interview to a TV pundit associated with white supremacy and Nazism.

The interview aired on One America News Network on Thursday and Loeffler promoted it heavily on her Facebook and Twitter accounts Friday, tagging the controversial host.

“I joined @JackPosobiec on @OANN to discuss why I had to call out the BLM political organization — and why the woke mob is trying to cancel me,” she wrote in one tweet. “WATCH the full interview here.”
