So how's the (2) Senate races looking down there? I read earlier that Gaetz is claiming that Loeffler offered Trump $50 Million to get Collins to drop his candidacy. Somehow none of that shocks me, and I find it not only plausible but IMO likely. And I say that despite the fact that Gaetz is almost as big of a liar as Trump himself...
Sounds like the offer was couched in enough "nuance" to make even COH blush...
"According to Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Loeffler or her representatives approached the Trump campaign and offered to spend tens of millions of dollars on Trump’s behalf. But that financial support would only come, Loeffler’s team supposedly said, if Trump helped convince Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) to drop his Senate bid. Gaetz supports Collins and was speaking at a campaign event."

Two questions? Does Loeffler really want to be a Senator this desperately (and why, for Heaven's sake) and two does Gaetz think this in any way makes Trump look good? I mean IMO just acknowledging that she even thinks Trump would consider such an outlandish bribe is just a tacit admission of how easily (even his supporters believe) trump can be bought...
Then today I'm reading pressure is mounting on Lieberman to drop out. I must admit when I see polling showing Warnock tied with Collins 3 or so points behind Loeffler, and Lieberman and others mired back around 11%, I think it would be best if the Dems united behind Warnock to make sure he makes the runoff. I know Lieberman and Tarver have political ambitions, but it seems to me this is one of the times the good of the party and the country as a whole should guide you over personal ambition.
The people of Georgia clearly lose if the runoff is Loeffler vs Collins. With Warnock as an alternative vs either, then the majority of voters have a choice.
