SCOOP: Republican Senator David Perdue has declined an invitation to participate in another debate with Democrat challenger Jon Ossoff. This debate was proposed for December 6, a month before the two Georgia run-offs that will determine control of the U.S. Senate. #gapol (1/3)

1. Ossoff should debate a card board cut out of Perdue.

6. Not a cardboard cutout, but videos of things Perdue says.

Ossoff could prop up a TV set on a chair where Perdue isn't sitting, and then commence a point-by-point rebuttal of everything Perdue says, captured on video.

13. I like this idea

[MacKasey]

15. I like that idea

Use his own words against him

[NCjack]

18. That would be hilarious, And, it would be fun to watch

Ossoff replay the 10/29/2020 debate, where Ossoff would be live and deliver his questions and charges, and Perdue's "responses" would be replays from the recording of the debate. With a lead-in to each os Perdue's responses that he declined to appear in-person.

26. Yep. If the context is retained, Purdue can't say anything without contradicting himself.

.

Context is key.

Don't want to give Purdue or GOP any attack points.

17. They did that in Maryland one year. It didn't work.

[Kingofalldems]

25. Who is they?

[TheBlackAdder]

27. You know, they. This guy, that guy and the next. That they!

[OnDoutside]

2. They should have someone dressed as a chicken outside his events.

3. That's because he royally screwed u[ the 1st debate back in the primary. Ossoff out thought him &

made him look really stupid. I hope the voters of Ga. remember that and recognize e's just not up to the job anymore. I'm in Ga. and will be voting for Jon again!

[Midnight Writer]

14. Exactly. Ossoff should run ads showing his last debate with Perdue. It was devastating.

[crickets]

20. Agreed. Ossoff destroyed him.

Perdue won't show up to another debate because he knows he would lose miserably (again) and it would sink his campaign. Ads incorporating that debate are a great idea. If Perdue won't debate again, there's still plenty of footage from the last one to embarrass him with.

22. Georgia

As you're in Gerogia.... what's your sense of how these elections will go?

How about the Georgians on DU beginning a thread updating what they're seeing as these campaigns progress.

I'm from PA and in addition to sending a few $$$, I'll be writing post cards to GA voters.

4. Perdue

Seems like he could be a real life incarnation of an over-the-top villain Senator from a bad action movie

[UTUSN]

5. Fine, all to do is to run an ad on a loop of OSSOFF drubbing him in the other one!

[MerryBlooms]

7. Punk. I like the idea of someone in a chicken suit filling in for Perdue on the debate stage.

[Cha]

8. Chickenshit Perdue.. Ossoff would wipe

the floor with him.

[Celerity]

9. he needs to hammer him n this non stop, call him out, call him a gutless POS

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

10. He's a coward. But with good reason.

Ossoff is impressive and Perdue looks bad simply by comparison of their general demeanor. Then, when Ossoff tells the truth about Perdue, Perdue looks horrendous!

[2naSalit]

11. CHICKEN!!

I don't think he's a Frank Purdue relative but hey, if the shoe fits.

[Grins]

12. He's right!!!! (Damn.)

There is no reason to have more useless “debates”! By any of the four candidates. What the hell has changed since their last debates three weeks ago?

It is now just a race to GOTV, so spend your time and money there.

[lpbk2713]

16. He really IS the chicken man.

19. Make a large ad buy and rerun the first debate on multiple channels.

A PAC or Osoff's campaign should make it happen.

[bdamomma]

23. Perdue

is nothing but a coward and criminal.

[mnmoderatedem]

24. still?

his last excuse was that he was attending a trump rally, which was just a bullshit excuse. What's his excuse this time?

[greenjar_01]

28. He didn't suffer an electoral penalty for refusing their second debate and he thinks he's ahead

Of course he refused. It's an obvious intentional walk situation.

So, can Dems make him pay, or nah?
