The White establishment in the Democrat Party in Georgia refuses to acknowledge the changing tides.  Hey, I clearly understand because sharing power is difficult.  But, your anachronistic mentality will keep President Trump in the Oval after 2020.

So, we had a governor primary between the two Staceys and Ms. Abrams won.  I had a great hour long phone talk with Mrs. Evans and feel that she is a future U.S. Senator or Federal Judge.  While Evans is closer to me on the political spectrum, I voted for Abrams because she was party leadership and her strategy has better math.  Dems can’t win statewide by getting the Tea Party/Trump voters back and why would you want them back.  We win by presenting the real issues to the people and getting them to see the horrible alternatives.

So, the above mentioned establishment seems ticked off that voters chose the Stacey with whom the establishment have less influence.  “How dare they….BMWs aren’t free…I must eat…Whole Foods is spendy.”

Their answer is to support other statewide Dem candidates with the resources and interest they normally would give to the top of the ticket. To win in Georgia and nationally, the Dems should be a party with diversity at the table and I have learned to respectfully listen to the Sanders Progressives as I listened to Dixiecrats in the 80s.

The old guard establishment (the remains of the Dixiecrats) are the same folks whose strategy of spend money on T.V. ads then tell Blacks to GOTV for free lost most elections in Georgia over the last 15 years. Stacey Evans has been gracious after the election.  But, what will happen if Black voters see signs that the old guard isn’t with Abrams because they can’t control her campaign.

Also, Abrams national support brings in resources that the state Dems don’t have.  If I hear one more time that Abrams must seek the rural vote, my head is going to explode.  She has spent considerable time in rural south Georgia but she can’t be everywhere.  We got you, Stacey; we would have had the other Stacey and we have the whole ticket.  Anyone who is selectively offering support to the ticket should be ashamed.  They say it’s better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.  Well, we are building a rural voter education network called OPEN 20/20 because we want to see more of our side of town voting in every election.
