If Republicans can’t win a runoff election this nationalized and GA voters actually vote for a Democratic trifecta, I really don’t see a path for them in this state after 2021. They’d be better off prioritizing NH/NV/AZ (all of which are very winnable in a D trifecta) instead.

Old time posters will be stunned at this coming from IndyRep

IndyRep is pushing a dumb/smug ‘GA zooming to the left regardless of the environment’ meme after being proven wrong about literally everything in 2016/2017/2018/2019/2020, it’s best to just ignore him. It’s beyond obvious that there’s plenty of room for a major Republican snapback in GA because... Biden midterm, just like Perdue massively outperformed Romney in his first race because Obama midterm. It’s also easy to imagine where the votes for such a snapback will come from (North GA going from 80-85% to 95% R, swingy Abrams/Biden/Warnock/Ossoff moderates in Cobb/Gwinnett/Forsyth/Henry staying home and/or swinging massively Republican, massive R gains with black voters, etc.)

Loeffler may only win a nationalized high-turnout Senate runoff which will determine Senate control by the skin of her teeth, and sure, the state almost voted for noted Blue Dog Stacey Abrams for Governor, but BIDEN MIDTERM will allow Loeffler to win over the same voters who want a D trifecta in 2021. Smiley

GA is definitely not less winnable for the GOP than NV, NH, or AZ, even if Warnock and Ossoff both win in January.

I mostly agree with you, but I think one of NV, AZ or both could vote left of GA in 2022, particularly if Kelly or CCM draw bad opponents which could happen.
