    https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/10/herschel-walker-abortion-son-2022-election-warnock/671675/

    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.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      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.

            Look at Warnack. I'm sure they vetted him

                  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.

                              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.

                                    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

                                        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 don't think of Trump as a liability. I do think he is disruptive and I sometimes wish he would shut his mouth, but Trump is reforming the GOP into a majority party. If the MSM was even close to fair, the Midterms would be a bloodbath for the Demonrats.

                                        Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

                                          The host/co-host talking heads are not why I linked to that video. Skip to 6:30 to see Newt Gingrich’s endorsement/defense of Walker.
