It’s not that hard to see the GOPe Club moves in Georgia, you just have to shake off the ‘battered conservative syndrome‘ to accept it.
Georgia is holding an open primary, where democrats can vote for republicans and republicans can vote for democrats.
The Democrat Governor candidate is Stacy Abrams, and she is running unopposed.
The AME Church Network (think prior Mississippi strategy for Thad Cochran by Haley Barbour and Mitch McConnell) have been activated to vote in the republican primary, so democrats in Georgia will choose the republican candidate who will run against Stacy Abrams.
Georgia Democrats will vote for incumbent republican governor Brian Kemp this month because that’s who they want on the ticket in the November general election, facing their candidate, Stacy Abrams. Georgia is the homebase of the AME church network and their political operations. This is part of the reason why Georgia politics is: (a) racially divisive; and (b) fraught with corruption.
As a direct result of democrats selecting the opposition, Stacy Abrams will win in November. Open primaries are club rules used to make red states turn blue. Allowing your opposition to choose your candidate is never smart. [Note: Texas is soon to follow if they are not careful.]
Everything at this level of electoral games is controlled by the state political clubs. The republican club in Georgia is ideologically against MAGA more than they are against Democrats. The GA parties control the rules and thereby the political outcomes, the voters in GA operate under the illusion of choice. This is not uncommon.
The key point is to note that republican governor Brian Kemp (pictured right) is going to be the predetermined primary winner. Kemp will have GOPe support, some smaller faction of conservative support, and he will have more than enough democrats voting for him to beat any challenge.
President Trump has endorsed former GA Senator David Perdue for the governor race. Likely Senator Perdue sought that endorsement, and Trump gave it to him despite Perdue being a lifetime member of the Mitch McConnell stable.
We can debate Perdue and McConnell’s motives for running this strategy, but the weedy point is essentially moot. Even with full MAGA support, David Perdue will not beat Brian Kemp in the GA primary because organized democrats (AME church network) are going to vote for Kemp.
There is no scenario where Kemp doesn’t win the primary, it is a done deal. The club is happy.
Into this scenario the GOPe club now have an opportunity to attack and diminish their real enemy, Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.
Donald Trump, trying to break the GOP corruption cycle in Georgia (noted by their activity in 2020) has endorsed David Perdue. However, Mitch McConnell and now George W Bush are very publicly supporting Kemp. Duh, the Kemp victory is assured.
When Kemp wins the primary, the MAGA-ino (in name only) candidate, David Perdue, will be defeated. This allows the GOPe club to push the narrative that Trumpism is dead within the republican party. We are dealing with an internecine battle between the old guard and maga inside the RNC club.
The Mitch McConnell/George W Bush crowd will use the Kemp primary victory to diminish MAGA and the national media will put the massive spotlight on the Trump-endorsed loss in order to diminish Donald Trump and MAGA. It’s a familiar playbook and repeated pattern (see Tea Party).
GEORGIA – The [Kemp] fundraiser with Bush this month will put Kemp in front of an influential room of Texas donors just days before the Georgia primary on May 24. Hosts of the May 16 event include Crow; Jim Francis, a major Texas bundler; Republican strategist Karl Rove; and Ross Perot, Jr., son of the former presidential candidate. Tickets for a V.I.P. reception are listed at $15,200, while the general reception is going for $5,000. (read more)
The high information Georgia conservative voters know that Brian Kemp is corrupt and would have a very hard time voting for him. However, Brian Kemp losing in November to Stacy Abrams is no big deal to the GOPe club. The Club would rather lose the Governor’s seat and retain power, than defeat a democrat opponent and be held accountable for political reform and federalism policies they really don’t support.
Besides, even in the unfortunate event that Kemp did win the general election (GA base voters all collectively decide to hold their nose), the Club knows Kemp’s crew will not reform or change anything; so, it’s a win/win either way.
On the other side of the Club dynamic (the democrat wing), the most likely scenario is Stacy Abrams winning.
This would flip the state from red to blue, and provide the fuel for the national press and DNC to proclaim that Democrat policies are on the rise and everyone loves democrats. Even if Abram’s is the only win in the entire 2022 mid-term election, that will be their message.
This outcome sets the stage for the return half of the AME Church Network quid-pro-quo that was established in 2020.
When Obama and James Clyburn cut the 2020 Biden deal, Obama got his third term to execute radical kamikaze policies without concern for reelection, in exchange for AME support of Biden. The 2024 return payment is Stacy Abrams as the 2024 democrat nominee.
It’s all club games. Unfortunately in the Georgia mid-term Donald Trump endorsed the candidate the GOPe club had specifically put into place in order to lose. David Perdue will land a cushy Wall Street organized corporate gig; Brian Kemp will land a cushy Wall Street organized corporate gig, and Stacy Abrams will be the Georgia governor.
Having looked carefully, I cannot see a countering move that would disrupt the Republican Club plan for this one.
With Democrats able to select the Republican nominee, unfortunately Georgia looks lost.
Indiana has open primaries and we are solid red
Does IN have the black population that GA has, either % wise or real, just asking.
Indiana is 84% white and 10% black. Georgia is 60% white and 32% black.
Not for long bud. You guys need to reverse that style of primary back to party lines. Kalifornia style jungle voting is in your future.
Texas is pretty red and the D’s stole our primaries in March. UniParty hacks like Abbott, Fallon, Smith, and Crenshaw all won their primaries. Dan Crenshaw can’t walk down the streets of his district with out being shouted down. Not a single person I know voted for UniParty/Bush backed Abbott. Reggie Smith mailed an application to vote by mail to every person in his district 65+ with name and address pre-filled in (FELONY), no way he won. Once you see what they are doing, you will never un-see it.
Too bad Reublicans voters in Georgia are too stupid to see the trick!
What makes you think we don’t know what is going on?
Presumptuous much?
The old Southern boomer crowd seem to be the least informed among Republican voters. So many folks voted for Trump twice and then checked out for four years and learned nothing.
You are right but it doesn’t happen only in the South.
I’ve been back and forth with our representatives since Nov. 3rd, 2020.
On the other hand, I have seen this play before.
how many Southern boomers do you know personally?
My parents, lol.
Both Marc and Abigail are right. Baby boomers majority are uniformed and confused. But you can’t lump everyone together. I’m a Gen X and have been a conservative since early grade school ( Reagan years!) but gen Xer’s are probably more liberal. It sucks to have a generation your in that are so bloody stupid. Millennials are about 1/2 and 1/2 with perhaps a lean toward conservative. So, every generation has both informed and uninformed. Take the criticism on the chin, no biggie.
Nanette, how can you make generalizations for an entire group of people? Admittedly, I have found individuals across the age spectrum who absolutely do not have a clue what is going on. They are uninformed, don’t research— and some don’t care. They aren’t going to care until restrictions and shortages severely hurt them personally. However, you can’t lump an entire age group into such generalizations.
Wrong
Bless your heart.
We didn’t have that opportunity with the absentee ballot! Could only vote our declared party!
Abigail, I agree. I live in California. I have attended Trump events(with some risk I might add). I am a boomer who does her research, contributes to individual Maga candidates, and research my arse off. So Friskycat needs to stop being so judgmental. Most of my friends and neighbors have left the state. I probably will too when I retire. As I have stated before— everyone in California is not defecating on the streets of San Francisco. Everyone is not brain dead and liberal — so chill with your obnoxious generalizations. I am not sure Biden Even won this state. 2000 Mules on steroids in California.
So Trump starts having multiple massively attended rallies with popu8lations in the tens of thousands. He has crowds stretching to the horizons which are made up of MAGA loyalists. The GOP/e skulduggery depends on political slight of hand which presents Kemp as someone who might be able to win. The Trump presence in stadium filled crowds in the thousands can seize the moment. If he creates enough dramaturgy he can seize the political moment away from the GOP/e cabal. They have nothing to match Trump’s ability to draw in tens of thousands of MAGA supporters. Trump could bury Kemp in MAGA voters. The outcome won’t be the best but it could bury Stacy Abrams and the progressives..
Actually MAGA should have entered and supported a democrat to oppose Abrams… that would have given democrats a reason to keep their vote in house. As it is Abrams as a democrat is running unopposed freeing up democrats to vote for Kemp.
I hear having a Stacy Abrams bumper sticker alone adds three hundred pounds to your vehicle so your gas mileage decreases 15%!
Again, Georgia Republicans failed.
I don’t like open primaries either. Vote for your party’s best, not another party’s stooge.
I don’t think we’re too stupid, please read my post! If I interrupt this article correctly, something fraudulently is going on here and I plan to call the election supervisor to be certain.
A little full of yourself to judge and indict an entire group of people. There are so many illegal shenanigans occurring. It is presumptuous to assume.
I say it all of the time to wholly hostile replies but again here it is, plan as day.
The Republican Party has not been conservative since the 1950s. The neochristian progressives, aka the anti-federalist have taken over.
Just a few RINOs my butt!
Love when the chum rises to the top
Kemp was cheating WITH Democrats last time, when he sold those two Senate seats and stole Pres. Trump’s landslide.
But this time, he would be cheating AGAINST Democrats. He’s a serial, career election thief. I don’t see him losing to Tank.
Unless he sold the governorship. too.
So what’s in it for him? Why would someone waste their time campaigning knowing “The Club” has predetermined the winner? Why GA voters sitting by and letting this happen?
Just Kemp? You have a republican controlled Senate.
What’s article 1 Section 4 say about that?
he expanded Dominion’s profile in GA by giving Dominion the contract to count the mail-in ballots… perhaps in exchange for a win for him?
Doofus Kemp. He also allowed mules to operate and commit thousands of felonies. They continued all the way to the special election. Just stuffing those ballots into drop boxes on tape. I don’t understand how people aren’t being arrested.
GA allows for recall elections don’t they?
If maga can’t defeat Kemp in this layout (open primary, unopposed Dem, Thad Cochran move), then….
Get Kemp elected in the general election and afterwards immediately start grass roots effort to recall him due to his activity in enabling 2020 voter fraud . Have a maga candidate ready to run after recall.
Maga needs to get people in the state party and change those open election rules.
Kemp still needs to get over 50% in the primary to avoid a runoff. WarRoom said today that this race is close. Purdue is closing the gap and fast. Keep the faith and don’t believe the polls.
Fighting Islamic terror was our ongoing bread and circuses. The US didn’t start dealing with terror attacks at home until we started running around in the Mideast dropping bombs on people for the benefit of Big Mil and our “greatest ally”.
Emerald Robinson published a substack article that I just found in my in-box and it is relevant to the Georgia Election in 2022, along with other elections, since the Big Steal in November 2020.
It’s a short read but answer many questions that are posted in the comments about the Georgia Primary and why certain things are happening now:
https://emeralddb3.substack.com/p/dear-conservatives-we-just-won-the/comments?s=r
Depressing and I don’t even live there.
George W Bush campaigning for . . . sounds like fake news.
Why, oh why do we (Trump and Co) not have big time dirt on that hag?
Abrams is simply unacceptable.
They should run a write-in campaign.
Is Georgia lacking in TALENT?
No, state leaders with spines.
I don’t see any way Trump wins GA in a Presidential run if Abrams is Gov. No way.
The GOP ceded Alanta to black rule long ago and Abrams will see to it a close election is Dem.
And no, Joe Biden will not be the candidate. I have doubts he will even be alive in three years.
MAGA needs some friends from Napoli.
I take this analysis as a serious warning, but not as a hopeless situation. I see the need to pray hard for God to open up a completely different way for things to go, in Georgia and in our nation. He does that kind of thing!
Tells me Bush has something to hide.
Look up George Scherff & Bush family Nazi history. It’s public info & haven’t heard any protest, but it’s not in mainstream news, either
Who cares, no one listens to George Bush, the 911 architect and the creator of the police state in Amerika. No one who counts (votes) will vote for Kemp
Bush is going to bring his bestie, Michelle O Chewbacca and make out with her on stage.
I understand that many democrats could vote in the republican primary since their candidate for governor is unopposed. But how will that impact all the down-ballot primary races on the democrat side?
It seems like many of the hardcore left will vote GOP, but then they won’t be able to vote for the democrat legislative and congressional primary candidates. So they may end up regretting their little stunt.
Couldn’t Perdue run as an independent just like the Senator from Alaska did?
Open primaries should be taken to the SCOTUS. Given that the parties are private enterprises, they don’t have to abide by Gov. rules.
Bush living up to the Nazi family history that’s come out.
A snake in the Bush – Beware!
I don’t understand Trump’s endorsement of Perdue, a clear loser from the start. However, I’d love to wager someone on Stacy beating him. I say he wins easily.
Dubya has little political power left. He will be ignored.
Dubya’s endorsement will hurt Kemp. LOL. I don’t know a soul that would vote for anyone that Dubya endorses.
We won’t be here for the May 24th primary in GA. We requested an absentee ballot at which time we had to declare a party, which we did. When our ballots came, it ONLY listed our previously declared party, not all parties as this article alludes too. Did I miss something?
If what I read is correct, then the democrats are making sure Abrams will be the next governor!
This article is factually incorrect. It is a very small percentage, maybe 1%, of democrats that vote in the Republican primaries. They would have to ask for a Republican ballot, they would be forced to vote Republican in the general and they would be receiving Republican mail for 5 years. It just doesn’t happen the way this article states. The Republican primary will head to a runoff and Perdue will win.
Thanks for pointing out that fact, which many seem to be missing.
You are being overly pessimistic. Stacey is not winning period, regardless of if it’s against Kemp or Perdue. I don’t like Perdue, but Trump is like 25 and 0 in his endorsement picks so far. Undefeated. To say Kemp is a lock is not true. Bush and Turkey campaigning for us compared to Trump campaigning for you is like a target manager funding your campaign vs Elon Musk funding your campaign.
Correct, Perdue is a career politician (VSGPDJT endorsement notwithstanding) and Kemp is owned by the CCP, so it’s a lose-lose preposition for conservative in Gaw-ja in the primary…let’s see what happens. .. and if the White Hats really have this electronic ballot straightened it’ll be interesting.
Bush? I guess Triumph, the Insult Dog was unavailable.
THESE RINO PUKES DISGUST ME! They disgusted me so much that I’m no longer a Republican. That’s right, I, a fourth generation Republican, became an Independent. I can’t abide their BS anymore.
Hopefully, the GA legislature remains in GOP control. However, the GOP is trying to lose that too. In a sizable number of races, they didn’t even run anyone; the Dem candidate ran unopposed, same as we saw in VA in recent years. It would be interesting to see how many races the GOPe club is blowing off in GA. Anyway, these RINO PUKES disgust me!
Where so you see this happening?
“Texas is soon to follow if they are not careful”.
I am following our politics ands elections closely. Please elaborate for me. Thanks
Every RINO defeat is a MAGA victory – even if a Democrat wins the office. That said, the primary should be contested with every MAGA vote that can be mustered regardless. Just to remind the enemies of conservatives that we are here and a force to be reckoned with. And who knows? Maybe Stacy’s all racism all the time schtick gets old given that the Democrats are failing to deliver anything but record inflation and misery to their constituents and the anticipated Democrat turnout in the Republican primary is depressed as a result. But if the RINO candidate wins, then two can play the game and MAGA voters should sit out the general while making the case that a MAGA candidate could have and but for the RINOS would have won. Perdue is suspiciously late to the game anyway and not to be trusted. With the stakes so low in that regard why not play a little cutthroat?
