Georgia GOP Lt. Gov. Tells TFG to 'Stay in Mierda-a-Lago' and Butt Out of Georgia Governor Race

Georgia’s Republican Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan doesn’t want Trump meddling in the state’s upcoming governor’s race.

“We don’t need the traveling circus of Donald Trump to stay here in Georgia,” Duncan said during a CNN appearance Monday (video via Raw Story). “We need him to stay down in Mar-a-Lago, working on his handicap playing golf and let us be conservatives here in Georgia and move forward.”



Duncan told the president to stay away when responding to news that former Sen. David Perdue, a wealthy businessman, has entered the Republican primary to challenge incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp on Monday. Perdue lost a January runoff election to Jon Ossoff, giving the Democratic Party control of the Senate. The GOP nominee for governor will likely face off against Democrat Stacey Abrams, who announced her candidacy last week. Abrams ran against Kemp in the 2018 race and lost by a narrow margin.

“It appears early on [Perdue] will try to carry Donald Trump’s water on the conspiracy stuff, and that seems to be the only tail wind he’s got. It’s unfortunate,” Duncan said. According to Politico, Trump talked Perdue into entering the race to challenge Kemp, who refused to go along with Trump’s insistence he overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Duncan has positioned himself as a Trump critic. In his book, GOP 2.0, Duncan said he was “still furious” at his fellow Georgia Republicans for their attempts to “invalidate their own constituents’ votes.”

Democrats are DOOM.

Meanwhile, Gov. Charlie Baker of Mass. will not run again, therefore, the GQP in Mass. is searching for Baker 2 because they sure don't want shithole's mini me to run.

All over the country, semi sane GQP will try and stop shithole. It worked in Virginia sorta of, he still lied and used fear just like his friends TFG.

I love the smell of Republican infighting in the morning. Loser Perdue vs. Cheater Kemp in the primary should be fun, especially if TFG holds a few "I Me Mine" blabberfests with Perdue. The resulting Republican disarray and squandering of resources would help Stacey Abrams in the fall.

Meanwhile, retired football star and political novice Herschel Walker (whose struggles with dissociative identity disorder were revealed in his 2008 memoir) is their candidate to unseat Senator Raphael Warnock, who's very popular with the Georgia Democratic base. And Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a GQP punching bag since he declined to throw the 2020 Georgia presidential election to TFG, has two noxious right-wing challengers in the primary, David Belle Isle and Jody Hice, each vying to be the biggest Trump suck-up.

So, while it would be wildly optimistic to say Georgia has "turned Blue," I'm increasingly liking our chances in 2022.
