One Republican Winner in Georgia. He Got More Votes Than Any Candidate in the Runoff.
An Addendum to This Morning's Post
I should note for everyone nationwide that there was a race in Georgia last night where the Republican candidate won.
The candidate is named Bubba McDonald. He’s the Chairman of the state’s Public Service Commission, which regulates utilities. McDonald, a Democrat turned Republican, got more votes than any other candidate in any other race. He got more votes than Ossoff, Warnock, Perdue, or Loeffler even though he was the last race on the ballot.
How?
He was in no way connected to Trump; his race was not a referendum of Trump; he did not run on nightmare scenarios, creeping socialism, or culture war; and he kept his head down.
In fact, McDonald had limited money and just focused on keeping power costs low in Georgia. If there is a silver lining for this, it’s that a Republican can win statewide in Georgia and shut out the Democrats if they can find a way to run without every having to talk about Donald Trump.
I voted for Trump. Twice. While I am disappointed with the outcome, there was no "widespread" fraud. Republicans, like many Americans, never have things taken from them; they give them away. The Georgia Republican leadership should resign. The President should not run again. It was fun but not real fun. From a purely existential point, our lives will not be wrecked. We should, however, learn from the massive errors of these past election cycles.
Our biggest problem? The GOP has let a personality overshadow common sense and wise prudence. Conservatism is not about personalities, but principles. Sadly, one man who accomplished many good and laudable things could not overcome his narcissistic tendencies to understand what is best for tomorrow.
No matter how much Donald Trump and the Trump supporters wish it, it really isn't all about him. Welcome to the world of adults.
Has anyone pointed out that maybe why Erick has been wrong is because maybe something malicious is going on. He was wrong in 2016, 2020, and now 2021. I’m not a conspiracy type but it sure has me scratching my head. I think if the Rep do not change election law in there two sessions left we may never get it back.
Georgia Constitution, Article II, Section II Paragraph II:
Run-off elections. A run-off election shall be a continuation of the general election and only persons who were entitled to vote in the general election shall be entitled to vote therein; and only those votes cast for the persons designated for the runoff shall be counted in the tabulation and canvass of the votes cast
Did this law get upheld in this election? Thanks I am a new subscriber but have listening to Erick sense his late night show on WSB
