The Georgia Runoff--So Big!

[Tiberius]

One poll from Georgia,  take it for what's its worth

 

The Fox News poll asked people whether “this presidential election has made you more or less likely to vote in the next presidential election.” Overall, 75 percent say it has made them more likely, while just 11 percent say it has made them less likely.

But there is a partisan split. While 84 percent of Democrats say this election has made them more likely to vote in the next one, just 69 percent of Republicans say the same. Only 6 percent of Democrats say they’re less likely to vote, while 16 percent of Republicans say the same.

What’s more, the group with the highest “less likely” number? Trump voters. Fully 19 percent — about 1 in 5 — say they are less likely to vote in the next presidential election, vs. just 5 percent of Biden voters. No other group broken out in the poll says it is as turned off as Trump voters; the next highest numbers come from voters under 45 years old, Whites without college degrees and rural voters, with the latter two groups overlapping significantly with Trump’s base.

You could look at those numbers and explain it away as voters just being dejected about their candidate losing. But the same question in 2016 showed no such partisan difference after Trump’s win. At the time, 80 percent of both Republicans and Democrats said they were more likely to vote thanks to the election.

I think that many die-hard Trumplicans aren't regular voters, ie, people who vote regularly in most local, state, and federal elections, but are people who came out  to vote specifically for Trump.  Many are simply not in the habit of voting regularly.  These people would probably be the most disillusioned by their candidate losing but they might also be less likely to vote in any election without Trump at the top of the ticket.

This is the craziest race ever, two senators, one state, and that state is almost the very definition of a 50/50 state.

Republicans fearing they’re getting beaten on this stimulus bill in GA are now offering to give people free money in the stimulus bill so they vote Republican:

In a call on Wednesday afternoon, Mr. McConnell said that Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, who are both facing January runoffs that will determine which party controls the Senate, were “getting hammered” for Congress’s failure to deliver more pandemic aid to struggling Americans — particularly the direct payments — and that enacting the measure could help them.

I thought that was funny all the sudden now they want to just got votes. It's disgusting and if I was a republican I would not vote in GA when the time comes.

It’s really sad how the Republicans have fallen. Everything they blame the Dems for they do. GOProjection is a real thing.

 

Republicans have said that Dems try buying voters. In the past 2 years we had

 

1) 2018 - Trump promises a middle class tax cut if people vote Republican

2) 2020 - Trump promises to forgive Social Security tax deferral if elected (by the way, a lot of people are only weeks away to a big surprise in their paycheck because of this)

3) 2020 - McConnel says we need to give people money in the stimulus bill so they vote for us.

He is pro-republic, pro-democracy, are you sure HE is the traitor? How about those trying to destroy the republic?

For a third day in a row, early in-person voting for the Senate runoff races in Georgia outpaced the equivalent day before the general election: On Wednesday, 149,000 Georgians voted in person, compared with 144,000 who had voted Oct. 14.

A total of 487,000 people have already voted early in person over the first three days of in-person voting, in addition to 427,000 people who have cast their ballot by mail. In total this means that 914,000 people have already voted, which is just below the 1 million people who had voted 19 days before the general election.

Among the ballots cast, 39 percent come from voters who participated in the Democratic primary in June, 25 percent from people who voted in the Republican primary, and 34 percent from those who did not participate in any primary.

The Democratic advantage is now below where it was at this point in mid-October, when more than 41 percent had been Democratic primary participants (and 25 percent Republican). One cause of this is lower vote-by-mail participation than in October, when at this point nearly 600,000 had cast their ballots by mail.

This means Democrats are less likely to gain an early advantage that slowly decreases over time.

Romney took some pretty big actions of country over party these past four years. Two off the top of my head: voting against getting rid of the Affordable Cares Act and voting to yes on impeachment.

 

Neither of those votes were particularly good for Romney as they upset the Trump base.

That's easy Greg.  Get with the times man.  This is Soviet Russia now.  Party approved info only.  

 

We tried to prevent a SCOTUS nominee from taking the seat bc of 30 year old uncorroberated charges of assault.  This hasn't even been a blip because "journalists" don't investigate Dems anymore.  They lie and cover for them.

Sounds like Trump's rape charges.

PBS newshour saying right now Perdue is under quarantine 

Dems seem to be turning out in force  in Georgia. Republicans will need a big turnout Election Day to match 

[TBBills]

Both republican candidates are supporting $2k stimulus but fringe voters are wondering if giving McConnell power is good for the country giving the circumstances and seeing as these 2 cannot bring together their own party. I feel McConnell might try something very soon...
