Concerned Women for America issued a statement in November describing her as the \u201cwrong choice for Georgia\u201d because she sat on the board of a hospital that is a top abortion provider and co-owned a basketball team that supported Planned Parenthood and the NBA\u2019s China kow-tow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The result of the bad blood was that Collins ran anyway in the special election Nov. 3, and the Republican vote was split.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Collins received 20 percent of the vote while Loeffler managed just 26 percent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Race-baiting radical the Rev. Raphael Warnock, who once said \u201cAmerica needs to repent for its worship of whiteness\u201d became the Democratic nominee with 32.9 percent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Loeffler thus joined Perdue in the double runoff next month, since neither won a majority of votes in their respective races.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Warnock should be unelectable in the purple state, but polls show Loeffler is up to seven points behind him, while Perdue is neck-and-neck against Beto O\u2019Rorke-style Democrat John Ossoff.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is the exquisite agony for Trump voters in Georgia. Do they hold their noses Jan. 5 and reward the people who stand for so much that Trump\u2019s presidency repudiated? Or do they cut off their noses to spite their faces? Do they stay home, thus rewarding the very Democrats many believe stole the last election and plunging America into a fresh hell?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trump flew into this maelstrom Saturday night to appear at a packed rally in southern Georgia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And somehow, the consummate showman managed to pull off the mean feat of simultaneously urging his base to get out and vote in the all-important Senate runoffs while slamming the state\u2019s election process as fraudulent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While vowing never to \u201csurrender,\u201d he rebranded Loeffler and Perdue as part of the MAGA family.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is nobody that fought harder for me\u201d he said of Loeffler. \u201cShe was so tough and smart. She even went against Mitt Romney.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Perdue was \u201cmy friend [and] one of the toughest fighters for our America First agenda in Washington \u2026 a tremendous leader on pro-American immigration reform.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the way to win elections. Forget old enmity. Forge alliances against the common enemy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There is no other choice for voters in Georgia. They hold the fate of the country in their hands. They must vote for Republican control of the Senate. Nothing else matters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As Trump said Saturday: \u201cif these two don\u2019t get in\u2026 [Democrats] will terminate religious liberty, cancel free speech, and force you to fund extreme late-term abortion. And there will be nothing to stop them \u2026 You have no idea how bad it will be.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The president has every right to challenge the Nov 3. election results and his demands for voter ID will be crucial to public faith in future elections.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Election integrity will be the final gift to America from the first Trump presidency. But as lawsuits lodged by the Trump campaign and allies failed in six states on Friday alone, it\u2019s not fair to give his followers false hope.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Politics is the art of the possible and overturning the presidential election increasingly is impossible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Frankly, you can\u2019t underestimate the damage done to Republican prospects in the Georgia runoffs by the farcical allegations pushed by freelancing Trump-supporting lawyers Sidney Powell and Lin Wood. It\u2019s painful to say so because both have done good in the past.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Powell\u2019s claims that communists, Venezuelans, George Soros, Hillary Clinton, Kemp and now China were involved in a plot by the voting-software company Dominion to switch millions of votes from Trump to Biden have overshadowed more credible allegations of malfeasance such as the banishing of Republican poll watchers from vote counting places.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For weeks Powell has been promising to \u201crelease the Kraken\u201d \u2014 bombshell evidence of this conspiracy \u2014 but so far all she\u2019s produced is a damp squib.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Dominion plot is straight out of the files of the anonymous stirrer Qanon, whose ability to turn Republicans on each other makes you suspect whoever it is must be a leftist operative.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Then there are Wood\u2019s extraordinary attacks on Loeffler and Perdue at a \u201cStop the Steal rally\u201d last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Kelly Loeffler wants your vote, if David Perdue wants your vote, they\u2019ve got to earn it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve got to demand publicly, repeatedly, consistently, \u2018Brian Kemp: Call a special session of the Georgia Legislature.\u2019 And if they do not do it \u2026 they have not earned your vote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t you give it to them. Why would you go back and vote in another rigged election?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the best of times, this would be reckless talk. But with so much at stake in the Senate, it\u2019s treachery.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Trump has every right to challenge the results of a most peculiar election.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But if allegations of election fraud end up depressing the Republican vote in Georgia on Jan 5, and delivering the Senate into radical hands, history will not look so kindly on his presidency.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%98Antifa_vandals_target_E_Side_rivals\"><\/span>\u2018Antifa\u2019 vandals target E.
