The problem is if she did that she would have lost the primary. She was up against congressman Doug Collins who is a staunch Trump ally (Trump asked Kemp to appoint Collins, Kemp appointed Loeffler because "suburban woman amirite"). Loeffler won the primary 26% to 20% (it's a jungle primary so that's why the numbers are small) with help from MAGA loons to fend off Collins. That sealed her fate in the general, though.
I guess what I meant was that Loeffler would have been smart to essentially just be a female Trump, rather than doing the whole faux-country act.

The Republicans will continue to have an issue in the coming years where, in order to win a statewide election, you need to appeal to people beyond chuds. However, to win the Republican nomination in that same election, you need to be a complete Breitbart-esque moron.

100% agreed there. Your average Republican primary voter is a bleach-guzzling QAnon maniac.
