Georgia abuzz over Herschel's Senate tease
Yahoo News / Axios ^ | 6/20/2021

Herschel Walker, 59 — the Heisman Trophy winner and Georgia college football legend — tweeted a cryptic video last week suggesting he might enter the Republican primary for a chance to run next year against Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), the New York Times reports.

The big picture: Former President Trump said in a March 10 statement: "Wouldn’t it be fantastic if the legendary Herschel Walker ran for the United States Senate in Georgia? ... Run Herschel, run!"

Georgia passed voting reforms to require verification of the ballots - it has been a massive controversy (contrived, of course) in the media for months now, with Biden calling it “Jim Crow on steroids” among other things.

I dunno. It’s a lotta flash but no experience. I remember conservatives in Virginia nominated Oliver North based on his 15 minutes of fame with Fawn Hall. He wore a uniform proudly and the primary voters got sucked in. Remember Bill Simon Jr? Son of the former treasury secretary. He really sucked as a rookie candidate-thought his conservative father’s name could make him the Gov. of Calif. Walker could freeze under tough questioning. Democrats hide their weak candidates and it doesn’t bother the press. I’d love to see a senator Walker but we gotta be realistic.

BTW the late John Warner didn’t support North and W kept his distance from Simon- RINOS. Perhaps a Walker nomination is going for broke but there’s no others we can trust so maybe we(he) should go for it. Would it get sports stars to try? Ditka bailed when he could have beaten the Kenyan.

Colonel North was stabbed in the back by the Establishment (Loser) GOP in 1994. Bill Simon Jr. wasn’t going to win CA which was already fully Third World by 2002. “Warlock” Warnock has to run for reelection in what should be an anti-Sleepy wave election and Warlock is completely out of step with GA - IF the Trumplicans come out in force and the Stupid Party stands down.

” Maybe I missed it, have electronic vote and vote counting machines and mail in ballots been outlawed in Georgia or in any other state? Until they have, there will be no secure and honest election results in this country. “

You’re right. Everything is lost. Forever. We can never, ever win anything ever again. There is no point in trying. Anyone who tries to do anything constructive is just stupid and a loser. Be like me and sit in this hole and criticize people who try to improve their world. Come on down into my hole, and give up with me.

I’m not saying the challenges aren’t very, very real, and very large. I am saying that they CAN and MUST be overcome, and that there are people who are working their asses off, paddling against the tide, to overcome them. They could use a hand. Kicking them in the face is exactly, PRECISELY what a radical leftist plant would do to undermine effective opposition to their attempt to steal this country from the people. Help or else sit down and shut up. Nobody needs a Hard-Har-Har, the depressed hyena.

I don’t even remember the year that I left atlanta area. It was a job, hell, I didn’t belong there and was glad to leave. I don’t like grits! I prefer “hash-browns”! NOT “home fries”. In the entire southwest... I was unable to find or locate “barbecue beef” “pizza” or a woman (my age) that measured up to any commitment. I’ve fished in shallow creeks. But there is no shallower creek than a southern woman. If you think I am wrong.. I damned near married one.. and lived with a few after that. These are women who expect diamonds and Gold, but give you a penny’s worth of consideration in return.

September 6, 1980, Herschel Walker scores his first touchdown in his first game as a true freshman by running over Tennessee's senior All American safety Bill Bates.

Getting the seat back….. I’m not so sure

You can bet that the RAT fraud machine will have shifted into high gear.

Especially if he runs, knowing the relationship he has with President Trump

Warnock vs Hershel Walker? You don’t think he could swing less then 70,000 votes all he has to do parade around with famous athletes and he’s got this locked
