That’s the question some might ask….
(I’ve been saying that Fromm the jump….’The Donald ‘ is JUST about himself…Not his supporters…Not the Republicans and certainly NOT the American public in general…And certain NOT about even the Republican vote counters around the country that are NOT doing his bidding)
Trump’s Antics Show Contempt for His Own Voters…
Jonathan Bernstein: “I’m hardly the first to say this, but one thing remains clear about Donald Trump as a politician: No one has more contempt for his supporters than the president himself and those around him.”
“Trump is currently taking his allies through a crash course in disdain for democracy. He’s inventing, repeating or embellishing entirely false accusations about fraud. He’s asking the courts to toss out hundreds of thousands of legal votes for basically no reason. He’s demanding that the election results be overturned altogether by Republican officials — judges in some cases, election administrators in others, or even state legislators in an extreme scenario. It could hardly be more unconstitutional and undemocratic. Oh, and it’s entirely impractical: Trump’s legal and political strategies have no realistic chance of working…”
“Trump and his allies are treating their own supporters as if they were the easiest marks in the world, willing to fall for whatever wild claims the president can come up with to keep their resentment boiling and their donations flowing. And while it’s true that some Democratic politicians have said nasty things over the years about rank-and-file Trump voters, none of them has ever reached that level of contempt.”
Trumps supporters deserve to be conned .
Good shilling for those poor ol Republicans James.
Many have convinced themselves that Raffensberger and Governor Kemp are part of some corrupt cabal.
Were Brian Kemp still Georgia’s Secretary of State, who knows how he would have reacted (presuming the predominant part of Georgia’s electorate supported Joe Biden) to Trump’s rantics?
That MAGA red hat wearing bootlicker?
He would have lied ,cheated, committed criminal acts…
Anything to re-elect his master,Trump.
There doesn’t seem to be a reason to believe that. He has not indicated anything inappropriate as Governor. The Trump people are mad at him of course for not intervening
Oh yeah he’s a real stand up guy.
Yesterday ,while almost begrudgingly certifying the vote, he showed what he is.
He specifically didn’t endorse the results,for no reason whatsoever called for a hand recount of the votes, and wants another “audit” of the absentee ballots ala Lyin Lindsay Graham.
There is NO evidence that anything was amiss in Georgia so why is Kemp playing the role of the toady for the Gangster?
If Kemp has any evidence let him forthrightly come forward with it.He won’t.He doesnt.
He’s what he’s always been…
A MAGA red hat wearing bootlicker!
There is no one who is more synonymous than Brian Kemp when it comes to voter suppression efforts. Usually when someone talks about voter suppression, they usually are talking about a specific instance. Brian Kemp used multiple efforts to suppress votes.
In fact, the NewYorker magazine compared him to Martin Shkreli, who became famous for excessively raising the price of an HIV drug to unconscionable levels solely because he perceived that excessive greed was in his interest.
I find it disturbing and disappointing that CG is defending Kemp. I honestly would have expected that he would know better.
CG wants to believe that if Trump cultists are attacking someone as being “deep state” they must be doing something right.
In the case of Kemp he is a complete MAGA bootlicker as Jack notes. But his bootlicking doesn’t go far enough for the die hard cultists.
Meanwhile some Michigan Republican legislators are meeting with Trump today.
Wonder why ?
Maybe they have never been to the White House?
Or maybe like James always says,”Republicans Gonna want stuff.”
The Michigan people got the invite of a lifetime…
Why NOT go?
They can’t change their state’s certification….
This is about Trump’s BS show….
NBC News: “Michigan Republican lawmakers slated to meet Friday with President Donald Trump at the White House could be risking legal exposure back home depending on what actions they take in regards to the state’s election results.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — After Trump meeting, Michigan GOP lawmakers say they’re not aware of any info that would change Biden’s victory in state.
