Mitch wants to use Trump to win Georgia and keep his Majority Leader position in the Senate.

And Trump knows it.

This is the underlying politics behind all the stories we are now hearing.

Mitch doesn't want to criticize Trump because he needs him. Lindsey Graham would no longer be Chair of the Judiciary if Republicans lose Georgia.

We could say they are like prostitutes but that would be doing a disservice to prostitutes.

recalcitrance in helping the president-elect coupled with his absolute pathetic reaction to doing anything about covid, it could happen. Mitch is due for some karma.

There were way more split tickets than usual.

That tells me a lot of conservative Georgians hate him. If he wants to make a scene and insert himself into that election, I doubt it will help with those voters.

These elections are all about turnout, and unfortunately Trump can probably bump that with the voters who love him, who might not ordinarily show up for Senate seat votes.
