Stacey is looking to really sew up the Georgia-hating residents of Georgia!!! And yes, I realize that Georgia hating residents are Democrats.
Stacey Abrams makes eyebrow-raising comment ahead of Georgia primary
Republicans are criticizing Democratic gubernatorial candidate for Georgia Stacey Abrams after she skewered the Republican talking point that Georgia is the "best state in the country to do business" when it is, according to her, the "worst state in the country to live."

Interesting strategy. If it works, look for national Democrats to say similar things about America!!
Boy, when the mask slips…
Yeah, "worst place" was badly phrased...
How do you respond to her statement after, "contextualize"?...those are some pretty serious negative stats...
She needs to get a statement out, if she hasn't, that she's running to make Georgia the #1 place to live in America, fixing those issues where Georgia falls so short...
I'm giving you a chance to
not make a partisan, hit-job response...seriously, should Georgia not aspire to do better?
Of course it should. But you’re missing the issue here. I could live in the rattiest rat hole in human existence, but if I thought of heading it, I’d presumably love it to death. Why else would I want to lead it. ‘Yeah we got some issues, I’m not delusional, but it’s the best gd state in the country!’ is what I’d say. The fact she didn’t tells you what she really thinks about her state.
yup, what I'd expect from you.
That I love the state I live in, even though it’s not perfect? Yeah. Guilty as charged.
Everyone should love where they live. Especially politicians who seek your vote.
Don’t you? If you don’t, then move to where you will.
"love"???
Nope, I appreciate the positives certainly, not so pleased with the negatives.
I can't really imagine anyplace where that wouldn't be the case, trade-offs.
If I was a politician, I'd certainly want to be sure that I expressed the appreciation...yet, the only reason that would motivate me to be in politics would be for improvement, and, as a challenger of an incumbent, I'd focus on why the status quo is not ok.
Grabbing a few phrases out of context, though, is just partisan games.
My hunch is that Abrams has plenty of appreciation and care and commitment. But she's the challenger, in a State which has some serious negatives to be addressed.
I think she'd blow away Perdue, but Kemp is going to be tough to dislodge. I'm not a fan of some of his policies, but boy, way, way better than Perdue!
