Thanks for the post. But in another post after yours, the much honorable huffpo simply focused on Walker telling diabetics to “just eat right”. Yup, their in full war paint. Can I say that? 😎👍

On Monday night, Hannity will have Herschel Walker on for the entire hour. Presumably, he’ll show some highlights from the debate.

I read about a very good exchange, and I’m paraphrasing:

Warnock (regarding abortion): There’s not enough space in the hospital room for the mother, doctor, and the government.
Walker: There’s a baby in there, too.

I bet Warnock thought he was going to hit a home run while rehearsing that statement. Walker’s response was pretty darn good.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

that was a mike drop moment for walker

I thought the moderators leaned more toward Warnock. They gave Warnock more overt unity to respond than Walker.

A lot of us remember algore's plastic mannequin makeup and his heavy sighing costing him.

That's not what cost him the race. Respectfully disagree.

AlGore was a horrible candidate to begin with.

[usconservative]

We also remember Reagan's "There you go again" helping him.

Reagan beat Mondale in a 49 - 1 rout, never before seen in history.

"There you go again" was hardly responsible for that. Reagan was already immensely popular and Mondale telling an entire country he'd raise their federal income taxes by a lot is what doomed his campaign.

The Reagan Recovery was well under way, Reagan's popularity and likeability is what won the day, not "there you go again."

I thought Trump's awful debate against Biden cost him re-election.

Oh boy, where to begin taking this statement apart. How about the 2am CST election vote rigging that happened across multiple states, costing Trump the election?

And that's just for starters.

I thought the moderators leaned more toward Warnock. They gave Warnock more overt unity to respond than Walker.

Yeah, a little bit. There was one occasion when the moderator told Warnock he could have 15 seconds to respond, but then he went on for about 30-60 seconds.

We conservatives are so used to having utterly biased debate moderators that when there is even a semblance of fairness many of us are surprised and happy.

PA Dems are in full panic-mode over Fetterman. I think Oz will end up beating him by 3 - 5 pts.

There’s even talk of Mastriano defeating Shapiro because Oz has been making so much of the Crime wave in the state and that reflects on AG Shapiro.

I saw part of this on television. Walker isn’t nearly the stupid man some people make him out to be.

He’s certainly more on-the-ball than Biden is. Not to mention Fetterman, even when Fetterman was healthy.

I just came from the Iron Range of MN, lots of Jensen/Birk signs, in the traditionally DFL territory. It was encouraging.

[Gaffer]

The “he’s got a low IQ myth” stuff was all just Democrat Hype hiding and terribly flawed, ineffective leftist Democrat who got into office during a period of Georgia RINO (SoS) incompetence and allowing out of staters to vote.

Warnock has done NOTHING for Georgia - only voted with Biden. In addition, he’s been continually bribed by his own former church with a salary and housing allowance - all to push leftist principles. He’s NOT for Georgia. He’s for Atlanta and leftists, period.

Vote Walker - my wife and I are. Send Warnock back to pimpin’ the lady parishioners at EBC.

[Gaffer]

Herschel carried the ball over the line...

[Gaffer]

I agree. The hype that Warnock is ahead is just that - hype from AJC et al.

That’s good to here. I don’t see many here in Dakota county, but I see several Jensen ads on FOX every night, and a few ads blasting Walz for his mishandling of the riots and the increase in crime.

thanx a lot for posting this article on the debate & the you tube link

from what I’ve seen, walker did a great job

[AnAmericanMother]

Walker strikes me as a man with a fund of good common sense who likes people and wants to do the right thing. Much rather have a plain-spoken man than one of your flowery preachers with an evil heart.

I listened to the debate and thought he did very well. Warlock is a snake. Why sit out and let the snake back in the room?

[lone star annie]

Paraphrasing Walker when asked if he was going to support Trump in 2024, Walker said,”Trump is my friend and an ally and I won’t abandon my ally like Biden abandoned his allies in Afghanistan.” Great comeback!

Horse crap. The biggest issue with elected politicians is that 90+ % are lawyers.

[GAHeel]

Walker kicked ass last night. Warnock couldn’t even answer most of the tough questions and Walker rightfully pushed him.
