Fissures are forming as Republicans decide whether it's useful to cling to Trump — even as he tries to subvert an election — or to distance themselves.
Democrats have pulled off at least one Senate win in Georgia, with another likely to follow. And Republicans are pointing a frustrated finger at Donald Trump.
With control of the Senate at stake in the state’s two races, the president chose to spend weeks peddling baseless claims that Georgia’s electoral system was rigged, fueling an online movement to boycott Tuesday’s election. He demonized the state’s Republican leaders and fractured the local GOP. He ignored calls from his allies to rally in the state sooner. His support for Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue mainly came in the form of the occasional tweet and two rallies, including one on Monday. He blasted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for not heeding his calls for boosted stimulus checks.
So when Democrat Raphael Warnock defeated Loeffler early on Wednesday — and with Democrat Jon Ossoff having a good chance of toppling Perdue — Republicans were quick to blame Trump.

WNU Editor: As this blog predicted before this US senate election ....
.... The media has gone all in for the Democrat candidates .... Why Georgia Needs Two New Senators (Rolling Stone). The betting markets are predicting a Democrat sweep. The Democrat Party is boasting 100,000 new members since the November elections. The Republican Party leadership in Georgia appears to be more focused on battling President Trump than putting their energies into the Senate race
And now I am reading reports that Republican poll monitors were blocked AGAIN from overseeing absentee ballots.
Am I surprised by all of this?
No.
The probability of a Democrat sweep has been obvious for weeks. After all the systemic irregularities that benefited the Democrats last time around were never seriously addressed by Georgia (Republican) officials, coupled with the blocking Republican poll monitors from overseeing absentee ballots last night, this result was a fait-accompli.
And not surprising. The very same Republican officials and politicians who have been battling President Trump rather than putting their energies into the Senate race are now blaming him for this loss.
Will they succeed?
I doubt it.
President Trump predicted this, and there are now hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters in Washington DC backing him up (LIVE: President Trump addresses supporters gathered in Washington, D.C.).
But this is all for naught.
President-elect Biden will be inaugurated on January 20, and he will be having a Democrat controlled Congress behind him to push their agenda.
