Jemele Hill's op-ed on Walker's candidacy and the GOP's support of Walker:
I stopped reading at the first sentence of paragraph 2:
Warnock didn’t generate a single juicy or humiliating headline.
Two words: Wife car tire.
Some of Walker’s completely unintelligible answers to basic questions would be amusing if the Georgia Senate race weren’t so important
LOL. For the author, Pennsylvania isn't important
But, sadly, I've descended into whataboutism.
And into attacking the messenger:
(Hill is) an American sports journalist who writes for The Atlantic. She worked nearly 12 years for sports conglomerate ESPN.
That makes her supremely qualified to talk about politics, because, after all, Walker played football.

Republicans are going to lose Georgia. We can argue about whether the Democrats are just going full tilt balls out just to keep the Senate, but the fact remains that this loss falls on the Republicans for not vetting their candidates well enough.
Yes, there is a place for forgiveness and allowance for people to grow and change, but at the same time you knew that the Dems were going to throw everything at the candidate. A little vetting would have been nice…

True, but Walker has unbelievable name recognition in Georgia. And look at his policy positions.

A simple vetting would have prevented this.

The commentary came from Geoff Duncan, the Republican lieutenant governor of Georgia.
It's really not good for a state-wide candidate when an elected state leader from his own party is publicly so negative about his candidacy.

Gotta say that I agree with Ax, here.

Like it did in Georgia. Probably one of the greatest political blunders of all time.

In what should have been a runaway. A Republican nominee should be up by 5 against Fetterman even without the stroke. The man is a blithering idiot when he was coherent.

Good lord. if you cannot beat Fetterman. While I think Oz is a very, very smart guy, not sure he was the right candidate.

Wonder how much is from out of state?

With the exception of Jolly, most of the conservatives here seem to think that Trump is a liability.
Odd that the GOP don't seem to have woken up to this fact.
I was only joking

I think the truth is a LOT more complicated than that.
