Winning both Senate run-offs in Georgia is a long shot, but I wonder...

[Silent3]

...if not only the fact that Biden is winning there improves our odds, but also that the run-offs won't happen until January.

That's an awful lot of time for Trump's reaction to defeat, and the effect of the rats abandoning the sinking ship, to sully the standing of all Republicans.

It's so hard to know how that will play out. For all I know, the strident Trump supporters will be even more motivated, and Democratic turnout will be harder to motivate for "mere" Senate races.

What Trump will do between now and then, what his enablers will do, and how the psychology of this will all work out seems so hard to predict for me. But maybe, just maybe, it will work to our good. Biden winning saves us from the further horrors Trump would have wrought, but Biden will have a hard time making positive improvement without the Senate in Democratic hands.

One thing Trump will NOT do between now and January... lift a fucking finger to help the Republican candidates in Georgia. If he's out of power, he doesn't give a damn about them or the future of the Republican party. Just like all other things and people in Trump's life, the Republican party was merely a tool he used to get what he wanted for himself. Trump is the only cause Trump believes in.

1. Get ready to donate, GOTV, text-bank, whatever it takes.

[onetexan]

11. Yep,both candidates' got my $

[PTWB]

2. It depends on how badly the Trump meltdown goes.

I give GOP 60/40 odds on winning but our odds get better based on how big the Trump dumpster fire grows.

3. Our odds are better than 50/50 - we have the nuclear weapon

STACEY ABRAMS!

4. Serious question here...Georgia Run Off...

Can new voter registration happen now and can these newly registered voters then vote in the upcoming run-offs?

[rzemanfl]

8. Yes and people can move there to vote if they establish "legal residency." n/t

[FarPoint]

10. I sense there may be folks who missed out on registration

and realize what they missed...may feel energized now...folks that already live there...

5. We must win both. Zero chance any Republican will ever break ranks.

[Amaryllis]

6. Maybe Stacy can get them to add the 200,000 voters back that they purged from the reg lists.

There may be more than that given Kemp's history.

[gollygee]

7. We have momentum

We have to put the time and money into it. I'm ready to donate. I texted for Biden/Harris. I don't know how effective that'll be in Georgia from a Michigan phone number though.

9. I'm hoping that this will make Supreme Court hesitant to overturn Obamacare

I think that would lead to Dems winning Senate

12. Carville (I know, I know) says AK is still in play.

The outstanding ballots are heavily blue rural mail-ins, and there’s a TON left, and that’s why they haven’t called it. FWIW.

If it goes heavily blue as he predicts, it could be close. That would give us only one GA Senate seat to get to a tie, with Kamala as a tie-breaker.

But as we’ve seen and he’s admitted, his predictions tend to be too rosy. That’s what he does. Just posting FYI.

13. I'll be donating, donating, donating.

14. Stupid question

but they're both state-wide aren't they? Is it the same pool of voters? Or are they in different districts?

So the odds are better that the same party will win both than that there will be a split?

[Silent3]

15. Senate races are always state-wide

Only House races are by district.

[meadowlander]

16. That has to work to our advantage.

I can't see someone turning out to vote for Loeffler but not Purdue.

So if we can get over the line on turnout for one, we're likely to be over the line on the other as well.
