If the Georgia Republican Party spent as much time getting out the vote as it did manufacturing grievances against the Republican Governor of Georgia, they might not be on such a losing streak right now.

Brian Kemp pushed through the state legislature: - school choice - Religious Freedom Restoration Act - bans on boys in girls’ sports - tort reform - election reform - Tebow Act - a human trafficking crackdown - tax cuts - expanded prosecution powers for the Attorney General to combat local woke prosecutors - etc. etc. etc. Plus he reopened Georgia before any other state during COVID, getting attacked by both President Trump and the leftwing media at the time for doing so. And he’s run budget surpluses and refunded money to taxpayers. But the state Republican Party apparatus would rather blame him for things he didn’t do than help him get more Republicans elected. This is why the GOP in Georgia keeps losing winnable races these days. The party apparatus has been hijacked by professional victims who’d rather complain and re-litigate past elections than actually try to win future races. Georgia risks going left because the Republican Party in the State of Georgia is the GOP’s own worst enemy, turning success into the enemy, and complaining instead of working to persuade voters. We’re watching the Democrats in Georgia coordinate to take over the State Supreme Court while the Republican Party whines about 2020 all over again.

Ossoff: Folks need to be paying attention to this Senate race in Georgia. You know, a year ago, maybe I was worried folks were despairing a little too much. Right now, to be honest with you, I worry about complacency. I worry that folks don't know that the national Republican Party has vastly more resources right now than the national Democratic Party. And yes, we have momentum, and yes, we have the wind in our sails, but my campaign has to put resources aside to prepare to fight off all these attacks on voting rights.
