Democrats Begin to Fold Their Tents

The race for Governor of Georgia between Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams wasn’t particularly close. Kemp won by 55,000 votes. But since the election, Abrams has tried to position herself for a recount, or something, that might magically erase that impressive margin. Today she gave up, sort of:

    Stacey Abrams halted her run for Georgia governor Friday, but the Democrat said she would not concede the contest to Republican Brian Kemp and planned to launch a voting rights group to file “major” litigation challenging election policies.

There will be no such “major” litigation. What would it challenge? The “policy” of only allowing each person to vote once? The “policy” of counting all votes, and only votes, that are cast according to Georgia’s election laws? Legally, this is a joke. Politically, it is a lame effort to keep Abrams in the public eye in contemplation of a future run for office.

Something similar is going on in Florida, where Democrats Bill Nelson and Andrew Gillum came fairly close, but nowhere near close enough, to stake a plausible claim to victory. Gillum and Nelson lost. They are going through the motions of a recount, but no one can seriously expect the result to change.

Temper tantrums because they lost.  No adults in the bunch.

Abrams in Georgia and Gillum in Florida (who I understand is not going to "concede", either) are merely "dry runs" for a larger-scale offensive to be launched after the 2020 elections.

Wait and see.

Why would any reasonable person with a normal temperament want to associate themselves with the rat party, loaded as it is with such whiners, thugs and misfits?

That headline can't possibly be true. These are Dims,so the tents belonged to someone else.

Some people will do or say anything for power or money.

They are usually called "whores".

I wonder how much the recount efforts are about trying to win, and how much is about creating lucrative consulting positions for friends and family.  There can't be a much better way to fund raise than to be THIS CLOSE.
