All akin to someone not able to swim and falling into the deep end of the pool. Wildly flailing hoping for someone to notice and save his sorry A$$. Several articles out recommending CHEETO hold his bigly announcement until after he learns to tread water and the GA runoff. FWIW-

It’s not that she’s more left wing than Trump. She is a lawyer and hates the way he lets his mouth get him, and the party, in trouble. Probably not fond of the chaos either.
A good read from Peggy Noonan of the WSJ- ( a part of the article "Maybe Republicans Will Finally Learn" here)
"The policy positions of Trumpism always had constructive elements. He helped bust the party from its mindless establishment rut, broke the party from its recent always-up-for-a-war impulse and from the condescension of its political strategists toward the working class.
But the man himself poisons his own movement. That’s what became obvious this week.
For almost seven years my email has been full of Republicans who disapprove of Mr. Trump, support many of his policies, see no wisdom in the policies of the left, and are stuck with him.
But they are no longer stuck. This week’s epic loss—a landscape of pro-Republican issues and a repudiation of Republican candidates—should jar them loose. He is nowhere near the only game in town. It’s time for a jailbreak.
There will be other candidates for president, including Mr. DeSantis, who turned Florida red. If Mr. Trump goes forward and Mr. DeSantis does too, it will be one of the great political brawls. Mr. Trump is already essentially trying to blackmail the governor—“I know more about him than anybody other than perhaps his wife.” Mr. DeSantis has wisely refrained from responding.
He should continue holding his fire, not try to laugh it off or respond in kind. He should concentrate on governing and reaching out. If he decides to run, at that point he should answer—in a cool and deadly way, not a personal way. A way that acknowledges Mr. Trump was a breakthrough figure, changed the party in some healthy ways, but got lost in obsessions and bitterness, in petty feuds—in an All About Me-ness that came at the expense of policy and party. All About Me is a losing game, because politics is all about us.
Trump supporters will say, “Well, Trump’s been insulting him a long time, he’s got a right to answer. He’s got a right to insult back, and he didn’t.” Many of them will hear. They’ll think.
Meantime there’s a gift for Republicans in what happened this week. “Every victory carries within it the seeds of defeat, every defeat the seeds of victory.” If Republicans had just won, they never would have learned a thing.
They can learn now. The old saying is there’s no education in the second kick of a mule. This is the third kick, after 2018 and 2020. Maybe they will learn now."

^^^^ He cannot be left to his own devices. Needs a handler whenever a mic is present. Counting on Georgia to see the light and makes short work of the vote count on Dec 6th. Warnock for the WIN!

I saw on fb (not confirmed anywhere that I've seen) that 88% of evangelicals in GA voted for Herschel; not only the "anti-abortion" candidate with a few abortions under his belt, but against a 30+ year Baptist minister. Can you spell "hypocrite"?

I don’t know if you have Hulu, Botch, but this God Forbid documentary - about Jerry Falwell Jr and the pool boy - is pretty eye opening with regard to the transactional politics and hypocrisy of modern evangelicals. Worth a watch.

Unembedded of course, like an ignoramus.
It amazes me, how many people do not realize how the future works.

I'm sure that's hers. I've read many tweets from her over the last few years - she has no love for Trumpty.
