Dirtbag RINOs Thune and Cornyn Urge Trump Favorite Herschel Walker Not to Run for Some Reason When He Is a Shoo-in to Win Georgia Senate Seat

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Republicans loved seeing Herschel Walker score touchdown after touchdown. They doubt he can carry them to the Senate majority.

Walker is a former NFL star and Donald Trump’s favorite to take on Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in the Georgia Senate race next fall. But as years-old allegations about Walker’s marriage and business dealings weigh on his potential bid, Senate Republicans are raising concerns about his past in a state widely viewed as their best pickup opportunity next year.

“Some of it’s pretty bad, obviously: physical abuse and pulling a gun on his wife, if that’s true,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a former chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee who is close to Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. “I want to win that race. And to the extent that he’s handicapped by some of these things that would make that unlikely, I’d prefer to have somebody else.”

Walker’s potential candidacy offers another test case for the former president’s influence over the GOP, as Trump tries to play kingmaker in Senate races that will determine whether Republicans can win back the majority. Trump has already backed Rep. Ted Budd in North Carolina and Rep. Mo Brooks in Alabama in open primaries, breaking with the endorsements of the Senate Republicans vacating those seats.

But Walker has hesitated to enter the Georgia race despite Trump’s entreaties, and with good reason. Should Walker proceed to run, he is all but guaranteed to face questions about his personal and financial decisions. While the former football star has been open about his struggles with dissociative identity disorder, recent news reports, including a lengthy AP examination, have resurfaced past allegations from his ex-wife that he threatened to kill her. In addition, his claims about his business success are also coming under scrutiny.

Funniest comment of the day.

“John McCain is a good example.
Was a war hero but a terrible Senator.”

Been urging this done after questionable results came in;
/What the Republicans should be doing is using the Georgia reform and doing is this *REVIEW THOSE GEORGIA SENATE ELECTION RESULTS

Answer Biden’s stop order with this :

There were a series of fraudulent voting charges here. Were they enforced and corrected before this election took place ? If they weren’t is not a review called for ?

They were created with the introduction of Covid 19 which the Biden campaign thanks the CCP for doing; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3940857/posts

If the Georgia Secretary of State is in charge of voting he has the responsibility of enforcing the state’s regulations as to who votes. And eliminate those from voter lists who don’t qualify.

Assign prosecutors to personally canvass and investigate. Check if military actually voted by asking them. Identify all voters by checking on legal age their residency and citizenship. If found they do not qualify charge Illegals including state visitors known as snowbirds also include any technical computer fraudulent Italian programming testimony when presenting to the court and get these election results tossed. Because there’s this; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3949751/posts

LINKED HERE ARE REASONS WHY THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING 90% of the military votes went for the Machurian candidate Joe Biden ?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3927647/posts#28 Question Those results

CHINESE COMMIES DON’T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN * THAT’S WHY THOSE BUSINESSES AND SPORT INDUSTRIES WITH CHINA CONNECTIONS ARE AFRAID THIS COULD HAPPEN WITH THE GEORGIA ELECTION REFORM

...he is all but guaranteed to face questions about his personal and financial decisions.

Just like Gropin' Joe, yes? The horror.

[Alberta's Child]

Herschel Walker is in the same position today that Donald Trump was in back in 2015. Trump probably couldn’t have had an intelligent discussion about most of those issues you posted.

At this point, Walker is officially a “goofy” candidate who appeals to many voters who are sick of politicians.

Start grooming candidates at the lower level and let them gain experience to later run for Governor or Senator or Congressman.

These are the people — and this is the process — that seem to corrupt the whole political process. Some of us got on the Trump bandwagon because he DIDN’T follow this route.

[FLT-bird]

I cannot think of a more ringing endorsement than these two RINOs urging him not to run.

Whatever they are against, I am for. Whatever they are for, I am against. RINOs are enemy #1. They must be defeated at all costs. Only when we’ve driven these Assistant Democrat Quislings out of the Republican Party can we take on the Democrats.

[poconopundit]

The number of drop boxes allowed in Georgia is a fraction of what existed in 2020 — and they will be placed at the precinct voting location for better control.

Ballots in Georgia (which don’t identify the voter) are now public records.

We’re making progress.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Herschel doesn’t need this. If there is substance to these claims, he should not run. Even if no substance, why should he do it to himself?

[USS Alaska]

Georgia has one of the biggest gay populations in the country.

You just invent that statement?

I looked up the inflated numbers, and GA ranks 23rd with 3.5% claiming to be lbgtqrst-lsmft.

That is hardly "one of the biggest gay populations" when DC is rated #1 with 10%.

Sometimes we all let our opinions get ahead of the facts.

When I claimed to have kicked a 65 yard field goal, I may have gotten a few facts incorrect, but my opinion remains unshaken, much like your gay Georgian population.

[bigfootbob]

I pulled a gun on my wife once. I have tried to remember why, but after I came out of the coma, I forget things occasionally.

[elpadre]

“..Start grooming candidates at the lower level and let them gain experience to later run for Governor or Senator or Congressman...”

I couldn’t agree more. In an earlier life, in industrial plant management, we purposely identified prospects to train and develop for higher positions.

[PalominoGuy]

.... interesting idea, BUT see post #17 and tell us which of the Groomed RINOs you prefer to join the Senate Club of Backstabbers. Try not to be completely naive... ymmv

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

You want to bring up his gay son.

I am bringing it up because the Left SURE AS HELL will bring it up as a wedge to separate Walker from the Christian conservative base. It's not that hard to understand. Walker will be pressured by gay groups to support gay rights and whatever his answer is, he'll be crucified no matter what.

I’ll bring up that folks in Georgia are pissed. Really pissed. They know what happened in November and January with the Senate runoffs. There are still Trump signs and flags all over the place.

None of that or the fact that GA is basically Chicago South has no bearing on Walker's stands on the issue or whatever understanding he has on the issues.

Georgia has one of the biggest gay populations in the country.

Yeah well, they have one of the biggest Christian base and are at the center of the Bible Belt too. They're not going to vote for someone who's son will influence him on gay rights issues.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Walker's son is gay, yes, but he's also a big conservative

You can't be gay and a conservative. Look what happened to Jenner when he/she tried to straddle that fence. Jenner still spoke out in favor of so-called trans rights.

[suthener]

“Start grooming candidates at the lower level and let them gain experience to later run for Governor or Senator or Congressman.”

They are as much hit or miss as they would be otherwise. My example would be Tuberville. I was scared of him, to be honest. When I sent him a message about Chipman as ATF director, Tuberville was totally blunt in his response:

“....It is for these reasons that I plan to vote against confirming Mr. Chipman to this position....”

My other senator, Shelby, gave me the most wishy washy answer possible. Maybe you don’t want them to get eaten by the swamp before they get into influential positions. Like Trump.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Herschel Walker is in the same position today that Donald Trump was in back in 2015.

No, he's not. Walker has none of Trump's clarity on the issues and he doesn't have Trump's outsized persona and charisma. Walker could never go down the escalator and declare his Presidential candidacy like Trump did.

Trump probably couldn’t have had an intelligent discussion about most of those issues you posted.

Because at the time, Trump didn't need to.

He literally cast issues in life or death contrasts, and spoke bluntly. Ironically, had he ran as a George Will conservative he would have probably lost.

At this point, Walker is officially a “goofy” candidate who appeals to many voters who are sick of politicians.

So let him be a goofy candidate at the local or state level then. Look at that wrestler Kane who became a Mayor of some TN county. Why can't Walker do the same? There'll never be another high-profile celebrity who can run for high office like Trump can. None of them have the moral clarity on the issues like Trump has.

These are the people — and this is the process — that seem to corrupt the whole political process. Some of us got on the Trump bandwagon because he DIDN’T follow this route.

Sorry, not the same. We need Constitutionalists who can provide clarity on the issues and stand their ground.

[Inspectorette]

You can't be gay and a conservative

Ric Grenell, Dave Rubin, Tammy Bruce...

[Mr. Jeeves]

Walker shouldn't run for Senate, and no my reasoning has nothing to do with Thune or Cornyn's reasoning.

In a perfect world you would be right - but we have entered an era where virtually all "experienced" candidates are corrupted or compromised by the Deep State, long before they become eligible to run for higher offices. One of the few ways conservatives have left to subvert the system is the power of celebrity - which remains sufficient in many cases (i.e., Trump) to overcome the propaganda and organized cheating. The Left is well aware of this, which is why they try so hard to blacklist conservatives in Hollywood, the media, and sports.

Mitch McConnell Up To His Dirty Tricks Again – Now Targeting Hershel Walker to Block Potential Georgia Senate Race

July 24, 2021 | sundance | 247 Comments

Mitch McConnell has a long history of using dirty tricks to target grassroots Republicans who do not fit his view of the Senate.

Readers will long remember McConnell’s dirty and underhanded tricks in the 2014 Senate Race in Mississippi, when his DeceptiCons crew targeted candidate Chris McDaniel in order to protect a brutally senile McConnell ally, Senator Thad Cochran.  McConnell, working with a very corrupt Haley Barbour, paid Mississippi Democrats to vote for Cochran after McDaniel successfully forced a run-off election by gaining more votes in the primary race.   The dirty “racist” accusations in the election were typical of McConnell tactics. {Go Deep}

Well, now it appears McConnell’s little Decepticon cronies are back at it with presumptive attacks against likely Georgia Senate candidate Hershel Walker.  Mr. Walker is a well known sports icon and a strong supporter of President Trump.  Walker is very much MAGA-minded, which makes him a target for the DeceptiCon establishment crew.

As noted by an article a few months ago, President Trump really wants Hershel Walker to run:

…“It is abundantly clear to all Republicans how badly Trump and his family want Herschel Walker to run. Publicly, the former president has encouraged Walker to run against Warnock. But his behind-the-scenes push has been even more robust. In recent weeks, Trump has personally asked GOP senators to call Walker and urge him to get in the race, according to two people familiar with those conversations.”

The level of support by President Trump would position Walker as a shoo-in for the 2022 GOP primary, which puts Trump and Walker in an adversarial position to Mitch McConnell who wants another controlled member like former Senator Kelly Loeffler.  It is not accidental that Loeffler’s husband owns the New York stock exchange; yup, the GOPe wing of the UniParty loves their Wall Street candidates.

In a very familiar play, McConnell now dumps his opposition research on Hershel Walker into the media, likely through his former Chief-of-Staff Josh Holmes.  This is just how McConnell operates.  [AP hit job here]

[Source Link]

The good news is that people are more tuned-in and awake to McConnell’s dirty tricks.  As a result, these types of assassination hits do not carry the same weight with voters as they did before.   This is one of the upsides to the MAGA awakening brought about by President Trump.

Hershel Walker may be a flawed person, isn’t everyone… but that doesn’t disqualify him from being a great representative of common working class values in office. Quite the contrary, these attacks hold no weight and Walker would easily win the Georgia election.   Once you realize how vile, manipulative and corrupt the political class is, it changes your entire perspective on the qualifications needed to battle that corruption.

As I said in 2015… Donald Trump could show up to a debate in 5″ heels, wearing a Carmen Miranda hat and start twerking at the podium of the opponent and I would still vote for him.  It’s new rules.  We are looking for fighters now.  The same outlook applies toward Hershel Walker.

Are you willing to use common sense and speak directly, honestly and clearly?

Do you believe in “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”?

Will you stop government from reaching into our lives with rules and dictates?

Will you support America-First and the U.S middle-class?

Will you fight, nasty if needed, for those simple issues and values?

If so,… WE GOOD!

Kind of like saying if Thune and Cronyn had sex with donkeys while pleasuring goats, if that’s true, it would be bad.

They've done worse.
