seems like every time Walker opens his mouth, he says something that is incoherent and senseless.

1) I'm sure that Walker has NO CLUE what he's talking about.


But what he's speaking of is real.

It's called a disinfection chamber. We have them in some of our facilities in my industry... the first one I saw was at a BioPolymer fermentor in Ningbo, China around 10 years ago...

They're quite common...

anyone could vote for Herschel Walker.

He's lied about so many things - being valedictorian at a university from which he did not graduate - just to start.

He's got dangerous anger management problems - waving guns around and threatening to kill the women in his life.

He has no background, education, accomplishment nor experience in government.

His remarks about having multiple personalities.

His comments about gun violence were juvenile.

Listen to the man talk and you wonder if he played football without a helmet. This idol worship of sports figures is insane. So he can run with a football. WTF does he know about being a SENATOR ??

The Rev Dr. Raphael Warnock has shown he has the intelligence, honesty, integrity and compassion to represent the people of GA.

Herschel Walker can barely articulate the language, present a cogent thought, or prepare a rational response to questions.

This isn't a choice, it's a no-brainer.

He means nothing to them. They do not care about him as a human being. They even make racist jokes about him behing his back.

What I think is truly sad is that he probably has CPE (or some other congitive deficit) and is yet undiagnosed, not that they care about that either. All he is to them is another Black sports hero to exploit for their own power grab.

He seems to have some kind of serious cognitive impairment. CTE seems like a strong contender.

His comments about Ukraine, abortion, LGBTQ, climate change and "entitlement" (Yes, he weighed in on that, too) make one realize that the turd does not fall far from the butt.

republicans have done something right, they have targeted the very low IQ citizens of the USA, and there are more than we might want to accept.

I am sure HW is liar and I know he is an imbecile, but so is trump and many other republicans, HW fits the profile of a neo-republican politician. The difference between him and Greene or Borbert is that the two clowns can speak more clear than Walker, but they are all brain damaged hypocrites, and that seems to be what the base likes.

Compare the "Jewish Laser Beams" that supposedly started the fire in CA to what Walker is saying, which one is worse? They are both the same utter stupidity that anyone with three fingers on their forehead would never believe, but the republican base only has one finger in there forehead.

It is no longer that people will vote for one candidate over another because, intellegent as they are you like one candidate's positions and policies over another.

Today's Republican Party is willing to put a body in a senator's position just like they pushed Cawthorn, Boebert and Greene to be a US Rep. It doesn't matter how degreed a person is, how honest they are or if they have character flaws. The important thing is he likely has the ability to follow orders, i.e. he will vote as he is told to vote. The fact that he was a football star in college and the pros is a bonus in that they can concentrate on that and distract from the bad things.

the key set of words is "They don't want to talk about it.", you cannot imagine how many times I have heard that sentence, it is the trigger for MAGATs to believe whatever these crazy people say.
