In his partial rehabilitation, Gov. Brian Kemp may serve as a model for dozens of Republicans elsewhere who have incurred Trump’s public wrath and are seeking to regain their standing with Republicans at home

By April, Kemp’s approval rating among Georgia Republicans hadfrom its post-election low, according to Morning Consult, settling at 74 percent. Internal campaign polling showed improvement from earlier this year, as well.

At a rally at the Westin Jekyll Island on Friday night, Vernon Jones, a former Democrat-turned-Trump-supporting Republican who is Kemp’s most prominent opponent so far, called Kemp a “RINO,” and Jones’ supporters were among the most vocal booing Kemp the following day. Debbie Dooley, a founder of the Tea Party movement in Atlanta who is supporting Jones, called him “the Donald Trump of Georgia,” and a vocal contingent of Jones supporters crowded around him in the convention halls.

The problem for the GOP, said Donna Rowe, a party official from Cobb County in the Atlanta suburbs, is that “we eat our own in the primary.”Kemp is not yet “out of the woods” with the base, Allen said. That was evident in the cacophony of boos he received during his remarks at the convention, a gathering that typically draws a state’s most fervent activists.

Raffensperger, however, has seen the worst of it — he not only repudiated Trump’s claims that the election was stolen, he was also closer in his office to the counting of ballots than Kemp. One of Raffensperger’s primary opponents, David Belle Isle, the former mayor of Alpharetta who Raffensperger defeated in a 2018 runoff for the nomination, distributed literature at the convention depicting Raffensperger with devil’s horns on his head.

Never trust a Trumper!!!

What makes you think that?

He was just booed off stage. You really have the pulse of the nation.

He's finished here, no Constitutional Carry, election fraud that he turned a blind eye to, critical race theory that he tried to sneak in, school lockdown that should have never happened. He is done.

Let’s not give Gov Kemp too much credit. He just passed voter suppression bill & he rigged his election as he was Sec of State over election & wiped out lots of voter registrations. staceyabrams will run again & wipe his smug smile off of his face. She won’t lose to him twice…

I reckon the only reason he didn’t do the former guy’s bidding is because he was caught off guard. Once attention was directed his way, he couldn’t do it. In short, he did the right thing because of circumstances & obliviousness, not because he’s honest, which he clearly isn’t!

He literally got booed off the stage yesterday! I know liberals want to keep him around, like Romney & Cheney...but they are all history next year. Say buh bye to whimpy Republicans!

Profile in Sycophancy that fella is.

O he's toast

Put down the crack pipe. 🤦‍♀️ A politician who was booed off the stage by his voters is hardly a role model. He is hated by the voter base for his disgraceful performance in the 2020 election. That is not Trump's fault.
