As August recess comes to an end, Georgia’s GOP U.S. Senate candidates are entering the next season of this already “combustible” primary after putting up abysmal performances over the last month of summer.
A look down memory lane:
To start the month off, failed and fired former football coach Derek Dooley officially launched his campaign for U.S. Senate, which quickly devolved into a flood of mockery over his disastrous coaching record that earned him widespread backlash from right-wing radio hosts:
