Something for the gop to think over and particularly the georgia voters.

Herschel Walker for u.s. senate. This is what the gop is offering the folks of georgia and to the u.s. itself if he is elected. Has the gop no shame at all any longer? Here's a snippet from an article on yahoo...

Does anyone who has watched Walker on the campaign trail believe that he has the basic cognitive ability to effectively represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate? Does anyone expect him to actively participate in writing bills or debating Senate legislation?

Walker’s bid for the Senate is yet one more troubling example of where the Republican Party is headed. The mere ability to cast a vote for Mitch McConnell as Senate majority leader, and demonstrate rhetorical support for Donald Trump, are all the qualifications one needs to become a Republican senator these days. Experience in government, interest in public policy, the ability to speak coherently on governing issues, and basic competence are not required. Indeed, as Trump showed, the less experience one has, the greater the appeal for Republican voters.

As sad as Walker’s campaign has become, what is even sadder is what it portends for the country. A political party that is content with having someone like Herschel Walker in the U.S. Senate is not a political party that cares about the responsibility of governing America.

As I've said over and over, the gop does not govern, they rule.

Well said.

Sadly many Trump supporters will not answer your question but instead will offer false equivalence to cover their lack of shame.

You just dislike black men who think for themselves.

Remember when Arizona representative Gabby Gifford resigned her seat because she could not effectively communicate after being shot in the head in an assassination attempt? Even after being shot Gabby was far more eloquent than Hershel Walker.
 
He’ll be a perfect bookend with Democrat Hank Johnson from Georgia who was once concerned that Guam would capsize if we sent more military there.

That makes no sense. Walker is running for the senate. Did you use the word "bookends" because they're both black? Why isn't MTG one of the bookends?
 
Walker is clearly brain damaged. Running him for Senate is an insult to the democratic institution. If he wins, the country is seriously in more trouble than I ever imagined.

Wow, you went over a decade for that false equivalence. Metaphors are lost on you?

Yes, he’s running for the Senate which is a part of Congress, same as the House of Representatives. I just find it funny that some of our left leaning members are concerned about the mental abilities of a Republican candidate for Congress while apparently ignoring Mr. Johnson.

"I wasn't suggesting that the island of Guam would literally tip over," he said. . Johnson said he was "using a metaphor" to describe how adding more military personnel to the tiny island "could be a tipping point which could adversely affect the island’s fragile ecosystem and could overburden its stressed infrastructure."

Rep. Hank Johnson gaffe: Guam might tip over

"My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize," Johnson said, straight-faced and seemingly serious.
