Herschel Walker is tied or in the lead in the polls

[edhopper]

Let that sink in. This lying idiot, for whom every day brings another embarrassing revelation, is probably going to beat an honorable, intelligent, caring man. This is why America is in trouble, the voters are fucking imbeciles.

[TwilightZone]

1. Many Republicans will vote for any Republican.

The R is all that matters. They believe that the worst R in the world is better than any Democrat.

[edhopper]

2. True

And too many swing/independents are too lazy to think.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Funny, but that's what they accuse Dems of doing...

every accusation is an admission.

[TwilightZone]

12. Projection

They've been masters at it for decades.

[Wounded Bear]

14. Indeed! nt

[GoodRaisin]

37. Unless $1400 is on the table. nt

[msongs]

3. well the repubs got an acceptable black man to run against the other black man

and the vast difference between the 2 is irrelevant to the repubs

[MFM008]

5. Dont believe polls

Not anymore.

[edhopper]

6. True

But they are usually wrong in favor of Repukes.
So it could be worse than this.

[onecaliberal]

7. I don't believe that poll.

[brooklynite]

20. Because its bad news?

Every race analyst rates this as "Tossup". No reason to believe polling wouldn't be close.

[BootinUp]

8. I wager 2 quatloos on Warnock. nt

[Earth-shine]

38. If I recall, the next line is something like ...

100,000 quatloos that they will all have to be destroyed.

[Different Drummer]

9. I am in Georgia and I have a sick feeling Walker will beat Senator Warnock

Walker can't put two coherent sentences together, but he is popular here in Georgia. Two reasons:

1-The R.

2-That championship season UGA had in 1980, of which Walker was a major part.

That is pretty much it. Not much else matters to the average Georgia voter, unfortunately.

[lees1975]

33. I don't think Georgians are that stupid, at least, not all of them.

It's early. How much more of Walker's incoherent babble will it take? I don't think that will last for long.

[pstokely]

39. but does anyone born after 1980 care about that season?

or the Yankee transplants who might be fans of other teams, possibly non SEC teams if they even follow college FB?

[a kennedy]

10. 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

WHAT THE HELL??? Ok, More $$$$$ going to Warnock’s campaign

[Just A Box Of Rain]

11. This is difficult to fathom

Walker is reprehensible and Warnock is a gem.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

13. Of course he is...

Because football.

[edhopper]

15. And American votes

are imbeciles.

[JanMichael]

23. If there is a "Senator Walker" this country is doomed.

[edhopper]

25. There will be

We are.

[Beringia]

16. What a shame

There should be no contest.

[shrike3]

17. Most people I know have no idea how their government works.

Or what a Senator does. I'm sure they'd think it just fine to have a former football player as a senator no matter who he was.

I don't think my experience is unique.

[Mr.Bill]

19. Why not?

People vote for idiot doctors just because they are doctors.

[shrike3]

22. Yeah. Why not?

[mcar]

18. My son lives in Atlanta

He doesn't pay much attention to politics but has learned the area pretty well. When we told him Walker was running, first he asked who he was (he isn't into sports either). Once he heard Walker is a Georgia grad he said, he'll win easily. All those suburban people who voted for Biden will say "Go Dawgs" and vote for an alum.

I hope that he is wrong, but it's a perspective.

[edhopper]

24. But last election they voted for the Ds

And now they are voting for an idiot who will do the opposite of the person they voted for last time.

[scipan]

26. There needs to be a debate.

Or 3. I'll bet the numbers would change then.

[edhopper]

27. I bet they won't

You seem to think voters are rational. They aren't.

[scipan]

29. At least a few percent would see Walker for who he is

An empty head.

You don't seem to have any hope for the voters at all. Hope I'm mistaken.

[edhopper]

30. Since 2016

I have lost my faith in them.

[scipan]

32. I know how you feel. My cynicism keeps growing.

Then I remember November 2020. Or others make me feel hopeful again.

If Walker is as dumb/cognitively damaged as he seems, I don't think it's too far a stretch to believe that at least a small portion of Georgia swing/independent voters will notice.

[edhopper]

40. Yeah

The ones Kemp will stop from voting.

[sarcasmo]

28. This country is Free Falling.

[roamer65]

31. I don't think we are gonna make it to the sestercentennial intact (2026).

[SYFROYH]

34. Just reverse partisanship, pure and simple

Its doesnt have anything to do with Walker or even Warnock, really.

[ZonkerHarris]

35. The Idiotocracy Candidate

[beaglelover]

36. It's the economy! Everything sucks right now for

The majority of Americans. The Democrats are in charge of all 3 branches of the Federal government. Why is it so hard for everyone to understand that the average voter is going to vote against the Democrats in November???
