The Kiss Of Death?

The runoff primary was held in Georgia yesterday.  It chose the Republican candidate for governor and was necessary since no candidate got a majority of the vote in the regular primary earlier this year. 

The outcome was quite interesting.  The winner Kemp easily beat his opponent Cagle.  That's a switch from the earlier primary where Kemp was about 15% behind Cagle.  The difference in the race seems to be the endorsement of Kemp by President Trump a few days ago.  It seems that Georgia Republicans were very much swayed by the President's views.

If you watch the mainstream media, you would think that an endorsement by Trump would be the kiss of death for a candidate.  After all, they make Trump out to be the most hated person in America.  These results show they are wrong.

I wonder how surprised they will all be in November.
