Kelly Loeffler Serves Up Cold Trumpism Against Raphael Warnock

Near the end of the Georgia Senate runoff debate Sunday night, moderators asked Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who was ultimately cleared in her insider trading investigation earlier this year, whether members of Congress should be barred from trading stocks. "What's at stake here, in this election, is the American Dream." Loeffler is trying to grind out a win against Rev. Raphael Warnock more on the strength of QAnon than on that of the suburban women whom Gov. Brian Kemp felt she could appeal to when he appointed her earlier this year to the seat left empty by the retirement of Sen. Johnny Isakson. She has nothing to offer the center, now, other than parodic--which isn't to say "unsuccessful"--efforts to slam her opponent as a radical communist who wants to defund the police. Her debate performance Sunday night was more a mockery of this medium of voter-informing than the legendary train-wreck of a first debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden in September.
