      Unlike Loeffler, Perdue was a good candidate in 2014, a good Senator, ran ahead of Ossoff on Election Day, & was undone by Trump's post-election tantrum, but also true that the (unfair) flaps over his stock trading were unhelpful. Big decision for Doug Collins which race to run.https://twitter.com/DavidRutz/status/1364225556703711245 …

      Why on earth--what possible ethical or empirical claim--justifes your remark about his stock trading? The journalism here was extensive. What Perdue was doing smelled, and there was every reason for it to be a political issue:https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/12/02/what-we-know-about-david-perdues-stock-trades/ …

          I will defer to your expertise and read your piece, but obviously the thing to do here is, at worst, have senators put their stock into a blind trust but, better yet, ban them from trading stock. They are *public* servants.

          I agree that it would be a better practice - Perdue & Loeffler came, through hard experience, to the conclusion that they'd be better off out of individual stocks - but the charge was that Perdue abused his position to make money, and that's just not supported by the evidence.

          You can’t say “Perdue’s trade volume is not irregular” and compare him to any other regular investor if he’s a senator. His trade volume as an elected official was unusual - it was the highest in congress. He was rightly hammered for this obvious corruption. And he lost. Good.

          The "this" Dan referenced as his area of expertise is actually "twisting basic facts in order to defend anyone with an (R) next to their name".

          Shouldn't he have reasonably taken steps to avoid even an **appearance** of a conflict of interest?
