The problem with the Rick Jackson plumber line, where he said his plumber drives a Mercedes, is not the fact that his plumber drives a Mercedes. The problem with that line is that it's just out of touch when we're talking about the fact that gas prices are high and we have an affordability issue across the way
To be frank I could give less of a damn that his plumber drives a Mercedes. Sallie May is freaking kicking my backend. I got to figure out what I'm going to do with my healthcare when my premium probably goes up at some point in time at the end of the year, regardless of who wins the governor's race
So that line shows how out of touch he is and I just don't think you can dismiss it as just something that folks don't understand or try to wash over it like the gas store thing. This dude is not tapped into what is really going on with Georgians. He just wants to buy the governorship
I just really wish we would stop shooting bail for these Republicans for every single solitary thing. If Keisha had said something similar to that, not only would Republicans have been going crazy about what she was saying but there would have been folks that aren't voting for Rick Jackson next month or in a couple of weeks that would be saying that she did badly in the debate
Just, respectfully, I want consistency all around
