[–] finthechat@kbin.social 39 points 3 years ago (4 children) Clickbait title much? It's because she's considering a Senate run or being Trump's VP. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] someguy3@lemmy.world 12 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (2 children) The summary bot has Georgia governor (primary anyway). apparently wrong. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] admiralteal@kbin.social 12 points 3 years ago* (1 child) Goddamn I hope she runs for gov. Kemp is term-limited. He has to sit out from the office for the next term before he can run again, which means he'll probably seek some other office in the meantime. And whatever he runs for he's almost certain to get. People talk about GA being a swing state, but it fucking isn't. MAGA doesn't do great statewide, but the GOP has near total control with little contest. MTG on the ticket is EXACTLY what the GA Dems need to make some serious inroads in statewide elections. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago “Swing state” is such a misnomer for any of them. They have one drunk Tuesday and never live it down. permalink fedilink source parent [–] brawleryukon@lemmy.world 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) That's a misread of the article/summary. It's saying that Kemp (the current GA governor) is talking about a Senate run and MTG would challenge him in a primary for the GOP Senate nomination. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 3 points 3 years ago* Yeah, somehow I don’t think she’s actually stupid enough to run for governor where she’d actually have to handle anything significant or within this realm of reality. Congressional troll or VP-hype-troll is a better fit for her. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Unaware7013@kbin.social 9 points 3 years ago If she goes the VP route, hopefully she ends up a political nobody like that dink from alaska permalink fedilink source parent [–] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) Because pence wasn't bad enough, now the dumb and dumber goblin needs a go. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) At least Pence had the decency to stand up to Trump and finalize the votes. I mean he drew the line in the sand just before committing treason, but he at least drew it somewhere. Can't say the same for a lot of other Republicans right now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Didn't he already crumble and bend over again? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago He's been helping the investigation and running against Trump. I would say no. permalink fedilink source parent [–] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago I don't think that's clickbait. I assumed running for a different office was by far the most likely reason before even clicking. permalink fedilink source parent
