If an negative argument is what is desired, just put his worst statements out there with the question "is this really who you want representing you, and GA?"

He is being controlled like a puppet by mcconnell et al. He doesn't have a thought in his head except what's put there by his handlers.

Republicans would vote for a ham sandwich before someone with a D next to their name.... this proves it.

Some he has already acknowledged:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herschel_Walker#Mental_health_issues_and_advocacy

It cannot be overlooked that it is quite likely that he suffered several brain injuries during his playing career.

None of those make him "dumb." They make his someone whose issues cause him not to be capable of handling the position he's trying to attain.

Yes, he is being used. What he needs to hear is that he is not the right person for the job.

That's perhaps a compounding factor, but he was dumber than dirt before the first blow to the head.

He would have been in high school in ... whenever. Are there people now who say, "oh, I knew him. Yeah, he was stupid."

I don't know. When did he start playing football? If I am not mistaken, it doesn't get to be hazardous until players are about fourteen.

I'm not saying he was ever going to be a physics major, but maybe without all the injuries, he would just be somewhere in the middle.

Thanks. And good morning.

In places where football is the main religion, they often let the star athletes get by with busy-work classes. They don't actually ever learn much. They're just there to be good at football. Give 'em easy work so that they pass and keep up their GPA. It happens on the high school level, as well as at college level.

He’s been a fucking idiot for decades. Nobody should be letting him off the hook for that. He was a moron before football and he’s a moron after. No need to overthink it.

19. I just saw a great ad from Sen. Warnock a couple of minutes ago.
Thu Sep 1, 2022, 07:09 AM
Sep 2022

It featured Walker getting spewing his various lies, as well as his violent behavior, including holding various weapons to his ex-wife's head. Sen. Warnock is emphasizing his dishonesty and violent, deranged tendencies. It's a good start. There are outside groups tackling the rest of it, as well. The fact that Walker still has the kind of support he has boggles my mind. And yet, having a front row seat to all of this, it doesn't surprise me. Not one bit, sadly.

There's a pretty dim bulb lurking beneath his ignorance that could never absorb much knowledge even if he tried to learn more. Perhaps too much brain trauma from his former career.

He also is mentally ill and is a dangerous threat, which I think is part of the craziest MAGAts' wishes, that he will go berserk and kill a Dem Senator or two.

He played Russian roulette solo.
Assaulted his wife with a knife to her throat and a gun.
Lies about his accomplishments.
Is a carpetbagger and is a TFG tool.
