Description

Georgia’s primaries for Governor and U.S. Senate have LOTS of things for political nerds (like you, dear listener) to chew on. But the Republican and Democratic voters we talked to felt pretty sick of politics. Some of what we learned: -How Republicans feel about their chances against Jon Ossoff in the fall (not good) -Why a Trump-like billionaire is overshadowing Trump’s endorsed candidate for governor -Whether Democratic voters will tolerate a former Republican Lieutenant Governor running as a Democrat The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Greg Bluestein joins the show. By Greg Bluestein: Politically Georgia Podcast (https://www.ajc.com/politics/politically-georgia/) Flipped: How Georgia Turned Purple and Broke the Monopoly on Republican Power (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/691042/flipped-by-greg-bluestein/) Just announced!

It drives me insane about people wanting taxes cut, but are first to complain if the roads are a mess, schools failing our children and emergency services are slow

The guy dogging Raffensberger simply because he said no to Trump in 2020 instead of doing the work of being an informed voter is exactly what is wrong with America today. The gullibility and ignorance of those MAGA people is maddening.

I would encourage everyone to take a look at Jon Ossoff’s resume. It’s quite impressive.

I’m blown away when I listen to your focus groups Sarah. Has the entire Republican party guzzled tRump’s Kool Aid. The lack of critical thinking among R’s is mind blowing.
