Look at Georgia. Compare Kemp 2022 with Trump 2016. Now look at the very unfavorable demographic shifts in that area in that 6 year time period.
In 2020 Trump lost Cobb by 14, Gwinnett by 18, and Fulton by 46 while only winning Fayette by 7.
Kemp cut those margins to 4 in Cobb, 10 in Gwinnett, 38 in Fulton, and won Fayette by 14.
So either Kemp is exceptionally good at appealing to suburbanites (which I don’t think is truly the case) or they’re just that averse to trump and his candidates (see Walker), which furthers the case as to why we should absolutely not nominate Trump. The suburbs aren’t home for normal Republicans. But they’re long gone for trumpists. Elections are decided in the suburbs; particularly in swing states. We’d be astronomically better off with a guy who can keep it close or win the suburbs instead of a guy who would be an electoral black hole. Especially given the risk that trump will likely drag down ballot Republicans down with him.
Of particular concern is that of trump absolutely craters and we lose the house, you know damn well the democrats are gonna pass their wishlist like DC as a state, liberal gerrymandering commissions, Medicare for all, tranny bill of rights, and all their environmental madness. That….is why we cannot nominate a guy who will implode in the swingy suburbs
