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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

“..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.

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.

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.

“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.

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.

You can't be gay and a conservative Ric Grenell, Dave Rubin, Tammy Bruce...
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
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 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.
