And he could be a US Senator.
Lordy.

But he seems more than just not smart. Hes just stringing words together hoping that they form sentences and convey an idea. They neither form sentences not convey an idea. Kind of like Boebert and Greene and cawthorn. It would be sad if it werent so damn dangerous.

"I told somebody once, 'You don't want the Herschel that plays football ... babysitting your child," Walker told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff. "When I am competing, I am a totally different person.'"
He means it literally.
For the first time, the 46-year-old former professional football player reveals in a book published this week, "Breaking Free," that he has a rare and controversial mental illness called dissociative identity disorder or D.I.D. formerly known as multiple personality disorder.
"I had it the whole time, I just didn't know what it was," Walker said.
Dude has Multiple Personality Disorder. Warnock's team is going to have a LOT of candidate research to do.

But that wont keep Trumpers from voting for him. These are the people who fervently believe complete fiction whenever they are told to. Telling them that Walkers disability is fiction is easy. And they will believe it.

This over Warnock?
I hardly think so.

(15,391 posts)Republicans: We've got a great idea! You know how women and/or non-white people don't hold nuanced opinions on political issues? Why don't we just run one of them to get them to vote for us? All that matters to them is if the candidate has the same sex organs and/or level of melanin as they do!

(9,670 posts)The virulent right doesn't care about representation beyond defying and demonizing Democrats. They're electing what amounts to hate radio host sycophants to fill the role of Representative or Senator, sometimes relying on parlor tricks like putting a beloved local sports figure in a race against another POC in Senator Warnock. It's a disservice to the Constitution and an affront to its own constituency, who deserve better but are too lathered up to demand it.
