I'm honestly surprised he pulled out. Wonder which of the many reasons it was that did it for him?

Same with Trump supporters. There has always been this odd belief that Trump supporters are all older. Simply not true. It could be that older people are more visible at his rallies and other events, but that's only because they are retired and more available to attend daytime events during the week. There is no shortage of young idiots.

Hadn't connected who this was until reading this topic... Christian Walker was on last night's #DontSayGay Brandon Straka Twitter Safe Space. Wondered why he had 200K followers. https://twitter.com/ChristianWalk1r

Ahead of Trump’s visit, David Perdue echoes the former president by falsely saying he didn’t lose his Senate race either.

I think its the fact that he was bitching about Gas Prices while sporting a $300 haircut, a $500 outfit, and perfect manicures. That might get people laughing at you in class.

Besides, how does he know the people mocking his ass are liberals? They could be conservatives that have had his behavior go right up their nose as well as the libs. And (b) conservatives are supposed to be strong and let the microaggressions flow off them like the coffee you bathe in every night to exfoliate your skin and the special $600 cream you need for your perfect complexion.

To put it simply, I think he just classes everyone that's mocking him as Liberals, rather than just being asshole teenagers. Ya it can both be true that he is a jackass, and that the teenagers mocking him are assholes.

Herschel Walker made my NFL team one of the best in history when he was traded away in the best trade in NFL history.

That does not qualify him to govern.

Sigh.

He's been the butt of multiple jokes since the trade, and he doesn't seem to have developed the thick skin needed for public life.

No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC wrote: NEW: Herschel Walker has been claiming that he graduated in the top 1% from the University of Georgia. Unearthed academic records reveal this is a lie and he did not even graduate. He has also been lying about being a high school valedictorian, per CNN.

MORE: Herschel Walker’s campaign just responded to CNN by saying that it doesn’t matter that Walker is lying because “not a single voter in Georgia” believes it would have “any bearing on his ability” as a senator.

They just said lying to voters doesn’t matter.

I don't know who else is running for the GOP nom, but are we hoping Walker gets it? I'm thinking Warnock v Walker will bring in crossover and I voters, since D votes are no longer allowed. I do remember seeing some Rs interviewed back in 2020 saying they were voting D because the R candidates were too crazy for them.
May the bridges I burn light my way.

The local Rs are hoping Walker doesn't, they feel his domestic abuse issues are going to get hammered before the general, as well as they are pointing out he's a carpet bagger [The reason they believe that Insider Trading Barbie lost to Warnock].

As for me I'm voting Walker in the primary, the Warnock in the general...along with a straight D ticket for only the second time in my life.

In Canada, if a man holds a handgun to his ex-wife’s head saying: "I'm gonna blow your fucking brains out,” that man would be in prison & once released, would have a hard time finding work.

In America, that man is named Herschel Walker & he’s leading in a Senate race.
Trump-backed Senate candidate Herschel Walker says he has 'held himself accountable' for domestic violence against his ex-wife and he's 'better now than 99% of people in U.S.'
:snippity:
In a 2008 interview with CNN, Grossman said Walker held a razor to her throat. She also said 'he held [a] gun to my temple and said he was going to blow my brains out.'

Walker said at the time that he didn't remember being violent toward his wife, but didn't deny his actions, citing blackouts as one of the symptoms of his personality disorder.

The football player turned politician has been open about his struggles with mental illness.

Walker has said he was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder and struggled with his mental health during his marriage. Grossman and Walker were married from 1983–2002.
:snippity:
Walker, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, wrote a book in 2008 about his life with dissociative identity disorder.

He detailed past violent thoughts about harming himself and others. Walker also claimed he had a dozen different identities, saying some alters did good things while other alters exhibited extreme and violent behavior.
