Any chance that Trump being a sore loser might...

Come back to bite him and the Republicans in the ass during the Senate Runoff election?

I mean, that his antics after losing to Joe disgusts centrist voters in Georgia so much (a state we already know is near a 50/50 split) that it gives us the those seats easily?

if some Trumpers simply won't feel motivated to come out to save the Senate for Republicans when Trump won't be in the WH.

It seems clear that Dems are at parity in GA now...can they out-energize in two special elections is the question.

Every single one.

And maybe Trump’s insanity will be too much for a handful of republicans who may have had enough.

We know that Trump is NOT going to lift a finger for Loeffler or Purdue. He will be wreaking havoc on those who voted against him. Who wants the endorsement from a loser?

So it is very possible we can pick up those Senate seats to McConnell's dismay. Wouldn't that be sweet?

All throughout twitter I see trumpers DEMANDING that Loeffler etc speak out in support of trump. Loeffler, Perdue, and KKKemp can be lumped together as "rinos" who betrayed trump in his darkest hour.

The GOP does not hesitate to exploit our divisions.

If Trump’s usual tantrums then into epic, unprecedented meltdowns that alienate independents ... and without having him to anchor GA, we can win BOTH GA Senate seats.

You’re going to see hundreds of millions of dollars funnel into those races. It has probably already started.

The advertisements need to be only a small portion of the budget. We need to focus on grass roots GOTV.
