It's happening in so many places, losers who can't win without cheating. Georgia is another example, the SoS state is running for Gov AND he's in charge of elections. Brian Kemp is a cheater who is actively trying to suppress votes right now and refuses to recuse himself. Cocksucka. I hope Stacey squashes him like the worm he is.
The Republicans appear very worried that Abrams is running neck and neck with Kemp. If Georgia elects a Democrat for governor, especially a black female Democrat, it will be a sign of the changing tides that Republicans appear to fear, in my opinion.
Yesterday, President Trump tweeted his endorsement of "successful" Kemp and added that his challenger is "unqualified". Derp.
The truth is that Stacey Abrams is very well qualified, with 17 years of serving as an elected official (four more than Kemp).
She's been the deputy city attorney for Atlanta, she served in the Georgia House of Representatives from 2007 to 2017, and she was voted the House minority leader in the General Assembly. So, she's very qualified when it comes to experience.
If Trump was speaking in terms of formal education, Abrams again is indisputably more qualified than Kemp. She's got a JD from Yale, along with several other degrees whereas Kemp's got only a Bachelor's Degree.
Anyway, Abrams didn't bother defending her qualifications to Trump. She simply replied to his tweet: If success is suppressing eligible voters, leaking our Social Security numbers, and pointing a shotgun at a child on TV, I'll pass. I’ll take Medicaid expansion, excellent public schools, and good-paying jobs.
16 days until midterm elections.............I hope Abrams squashes Kemp too.
