2. yeah, this is the same little fucked up POS who praised the F outta Daddy last year and hated on

Democrats. He's as GD crazy as Pa.

[Harker]

25. And a lot louder and more organized.

He's preparing to go into politics or show business, or both, I think.

[PJMcK]

44. Is there a difference any more? (n/t)

[Harker]

51. I double clutched thinking on that question.

It seems to come down to public service and self service, and I'm damned glad we know the difference!

[jaxexpat]

52. You shall know them by their fruits.

[soldierant]

72. And/or their fruitcakes.

[skypilot]

32. I thought so.

I have always found this kid to be insufferable. I couldn't watch this entire video even though he's ripping on his dad who should not be running for any political office.

[Roy Rolling]

87. Same here.

Hearing from this weasel makes me cringe but maybe that’s what moves the fake conservatives to action. It’s hard for the left to create this message artificially, nor could they create one even if they tried. They’re learning, but Republicans have turned Hollywood-type media into an asset for them more than Democrats.

But now it’s time for enlightened Democratic ideals to permeate the airways in media from liberals that conservatives can never create. You must be liberal to create and conservatives can’t create, they can only mimic.

And mimic is even less powerful than duplicate because it contains a sarcastic visceral message of hate which eventually goes out of style.

Bye bye Trump-like media personalities. Enjoy being hoisted on your own petard.

[olegramps]

90. The major problem is that the Republicans don't give a damn even if the was a murderer.

They totally ignored Trumps bilking his creditors, lies on lies. his sexual abuse of women. etc. etc. Let us admit it the state of the nation and its future is in jeopardy. The hypocrisy is staggering. Hope for change in the near future is dismal at best. At my age I can only hope for the best despite the facts that my grandchildren's' future is than optimistic. A house that is as divided as ours cannot stand. Our enemies know this and like vultures they are gleefully watching us tear our self apart.

[Johnny2X2X]

3. The dam has broke

This kid has had enough. I think his father tried to use him as a prop and one more lie just was a bridge too far. Perhaps the abortion story was really painful for his mother and he just couldn't go along anymore.

[FakeNoose]

60. Maybe the news about the girlfriend's abortion set him off

I'm guessing that was news to the boy and his mom, that Herschel got a GF pregnant and then paid for her abortion. Yes he's a spoiled little shit, but is any of this really his fault?

The entire family and close friends all voted AGAINST Walker running for Senator, but he did it anyway.

[Johnny2X2X]

61. I bet they know the woman

Probably one of the women they know about, but he lied and said nothing happened and they were just friends. Then she comes out with him paying for her abortion, it just blew that lie up.

Abusive psychopaths like Walker weave a web of lies, if they get caught cheating with one woman, they can lie their way out of the next and the next somehow still. I've seen relationships like this, where the guy is a cheating dog and gets caught, but he still gets his significant other to believe him that nothing happened with all those other girls. Even if they get caught over and over, somehow they get taken back and convince them that all the other girls are lying or are just friends.

And I'm sure Walker being a rich and famous ex pro athlete, Walker controlled his family through money. And being famous gave him endless excuses to be talking to people. He's a famous UGA football player, everyone and their sister probably wants him at their events in Georgia.

[democratsruletheday]

68. Amen Johnny....

and don't forget the CTE angle. HW is a walking poster child for it IMHO.

[MatthewG.]

4. Walker's son speaking out is a bigger deal than the Daily Beast story

To be honest, if the Daily Beast story had appeared alone, I doubt it would have mattered much. Evangelicals don’t normally condemn conservatives for hypocrisy or moral infractions. They’ll just assume the story is a media lie, or at best say the truth can’t be determined but what matters is that Walker is “saved” now - especially since the woman involved is avoiding the limelight.

Walker’s son speaking out is a bigger deal, because he puts a human face on the allegations; and even more because he’s an outspoken Republican himself (his social media feed is full of attacks on the left and praise for Republicans like DeSantis), so conservatives aren’t going to dismiss him so lightly.

[Justice matters.]

6. Newsflash: They. Dont. Care.

GOTV.

Roe the vote!

[MatthewG.]

8. Most won't, but this may sway a few...

Most conservatives won’t care, but this may actually dampen enthusiasm among a few, or sway a minority of reachable independents.

But I absolutely agree it’s more important to GOTV.

[SlimJimmy]

82. No, it won't

Wishful thinking on our part. The only way to defeat Walker is to GOTV. No MAGA or regular rethug is going to be swayed by his son or even the Daily Beast story.

[MatthewG.]

89. I meant conservative-leaning independents...

To be clear, I meant that this might sway some conservative-leaning independents.

I agree true-blue Republicans aren’t going to care.

[SlimJimmy]

94. Okay, point taken

[RestoreAmerica2020]

21. That's right..they'll go out and vote for him despite of his vulgarity, lies

....wait am I talking a our Hersel or ffg#45..ha-- seems the more vile, evil, odious they are [republklans] the better-- IS a requisite for GOP membership. .Loved that he defended his mom, what a handsome guy..too bad he has a p@#$# p@#$@ pendejo [fucking blank moron] for a fucking father.

This young man should get into politics. His mother should be thankful that that man was not near her son. My nephew once told me,that the best thing that happen in his life was that his dad left and didn't have a negative influence in his life..yes he was angry, hurt growing up bc of that his father wasn't there for him-- could see that anger, hurt in this young man's voice [Walker's son--need to insert his name ] Today, my nephew is he's a successful person, earning six figures plus, has a beautiful home is an responsible caring father. So proud of him!

Yes, it's best to have both parents raising a child, not only emotionally but economically. It's been my observation in my professional career having to do with families, children, social issues that most children grow up to be healthy, responsible adults when raised in a two parent household [note: and if you're lucky your children won't grow up to be kkk/Nazi facists aka republiklans that is imo bc you've gone a step further --taught them not to hate, see others as their equal that they respect and care for others, the planet, that they give back, help others in need. ] Yet having say an alcoholic, an abuser, a drug user serve para nada ( a good for nothing ) father [ and in some instances mother] at home --it's best to raise children alone than expose your children to a negative, harmful, hurtful environment.

My heart goes out to this young man..I pray he finds paz.

[Duppers]

45. Agree.

[Baitball Blogger]

5. But tell us how you really feel about it.

I guess we'll take it. Truth is truth. Even when it comes late.

[The Jungle 1]

7. Stick a fork in him he is done.

Had to go with the gold standard.

[Emile]

10. He still has the magic R and a forgiving God.

Don't ever underestimate the stupidity of republican voters.

[SergeStorms]

11. Dismiss Walker at your own peril.

You're giving voters in Georgia far more credit than they deserve. As long as Walker is an officially sanctioned MAGAt, he could barbecue babies on a Weber grill and still receive every MAGAt and republican vote.

These people don't care.

[The Jungle 1]

14. Here is my position.

Women are going to stand up this election cycle and repukes are not going to be happy. This will be a historic election cycle.
Dismiss women at your own peril.

[FoxNewsSucks]

19. I believe they will, and also that republicons

have been busy screwing with voting in every way possible to stack things in their favor and overcome whatever Democrats do.

Dismiss voter suppression, rightwing judges & gerrymandering at all our peril.

[SergeStorms]

38. I never said I was dismissing women.

You said Walker was finished. Im just pointing out that these MAGAts don't care.

Trump kept the MAGAts out of the Senatorial election in Georgia. They'll be turning out in droves for Trump's hand picked man.

And I hope women turn out in even larger numbers to trounce Walker's butt. How's that? 😊

[The Jungle 1]

53. Poor communication on my part.

Sorry

[SergeStorms]

57. No biggie.

We're all in this together.

Let's show these fascist bastards a thing or three.

[moose65]

79. I'm not sure about that

The hardcore MAGAts came out in droves to vote for TRUMP. He isn’t on the ballot this time and they don’t give a shit about anyone else besides their orange messiah.

[SergeStorms]

81. The Georgia Senatorial elections.

Maybe you didn't read my entire post? I wasn't talking about the presidential election. Everyone knows wild horses couldn't keep a MAGAt away from a chance to vote for their lord and savior's annointed Herschel.

[moose65]

88. Maybe YOU didn't read my comment

I wasn’t talking about the Presidential election either. In the Georgia Senate runoffs after the 2020 election, there was a big drop off in MAGA voters. Many of them don’t care about anyone except Trump, so they didn’t bother to vote the second time.

It doesn’t matter who Trump “anoints” as a candidate. There’s a certain segment of his voters who are not into politics and aren’t regular voters. That being said, of course we can’t ignore ANY candidate.

[SergeStorms]

92. Trump actively...

discouraged participation in the special Senatorial election. It wasn't MAGAts unilaterally deciding to stay away. If Trump had annointed either of the republican candidates they would have danced to Trump's tune and turned out in droves. He didn't. He still controls the moron MAGAts.

Whatever, I'm glad we're both on the same side, moose65.

[SYFROYH]

55. In some places, sure, but it doesn't appear to be the case in GA, sadly

In GA, Warnock is just a couple of percentages ahead of Walker.

Also in GA, Abrams has been behind Kemp by 4 - 6 points.

Here is the kicker, the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling has not affected these numbers at all.


Warnock polling data:
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/senate/2022/georgia/

Abrams polling data:
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/governor/2022/georgia/

[The Jungle 1]

69. There is a lot of new registration!

Over 1.6 million new voters over the past four years, representing more than one-fifth of all registered voters. A growing and more diverse electorate.

[qazplm135]

70. seems to me the polling differential

between the two races suggests Warnock has a real lead.

[SYFROYH]

80. yes, I think so, too. Real, but not by much.

[BannonsLiver]

16. Sigh

It’s not the hardcore R’s Walker has to worry about. Politics 101, people. 🤦

[BumRushDaShow]

24. "As long as Walker is an officially sanctioned MAGAt, he could barbecue babies on a Weber grill"

Kelly Loeffler was a fucking certifiable RW MAGat COVID super-spreader loon who was already in that seat for a year but lost to Warnock by almost 94,000 votes in a runoff with a full blown 45-endorsement!

So the potential is not zero for Warnock. It just requires the same sort of "crawl over glass" turnout from (D) voters.

[SergeStorms]

40. Exactly.

Every Democrat in Georgia has to show up and vote. I was just pointing out that unless they do, Walker is not "toast", or "finished".

Vote like your life depends on it, because it does.

[BumRushDaShow]

43. In one respect, with what Fani Willis is doing in Fulton County, the largest county in GA

and home to Atlanta, is keeping the "saving democracy" message going with her investigations, and that should hopefully motivate those voters there and in the surrounding counties, who will make a difference as a counter to the rural areas.

[getagrip_already]

26. he isn't doe - they don't care....

To them, he is just an imperfect vessel for their messages and hate, and a vehicle to further their goals.

They don't care. It's not what he did, it's what he says.

[BannonsLiver]

36. "They" aren't the only people that decide elections.

And guess what, “we” aren’t either. People who think this will not impact Walker at all are completely delusional.

[SergeStorms]

48. When you have...

Empty Greene telling the MAGAt faithful that Democrats want them dead and are hunting them, don't underestimate the hate festering from the right.
Anyone who believes Walker is losing significant numbers of voters because of his sexual indiscretions is completely delusional. 😉

[Tanuki]

9. That would make a great song 🎵 "That's the night the shit hit the fan in Georgia"....

[Blue Owl]

42. Let's hope MTG was standing directly in front of the fan

[BannonsLiver]

12. According to the prevailing DU wind this is bad for Warnock

I swear for a place so full of people interested in politics there are a lot of really dumb and irrational hot takes here.

[FoxNewsSucks]

20. Well, I haven't yet seen the "bad for Warnock" thing,

but I think it will be like the Access Hollywood tape. The kid will be dismissed, and the abortion will be ignored.

Walker shouldn't be a candidate any more than MF45 should have been. But it won't matter to his crackpot voters.

[BannonsLiver]

23. You realize of course this election won't be decided by the R base or the D base, right?

🤷‍♂️

[FoxNewsSucks]

28. Of course. And neither was 2016

I don't have a lot of faith in that narrow "middle" slice that is being courted and relied upon. Even if they are clinched, it still has to be enough to overcome righwing election meddling.

[Elessar Zappa]

29. Elections are decided by the 5%-10% that are swing voters.

Stories like this are aimed at them. We know maga won’t care.

[smb]

49. The Impact Won't Be Limited To This Race

The story amplifies the whole abortion issue and makes it harder for the GQP to try to pivot away from it.

[Rebl2]

13. Video went

on even longer than that.

[Bucky]

34. Rich and angry and stupid

Yeah, this kid is mad at his dad, but he's still a right wing troll.

[Traildogbob]

15. For those

Thinking this will end Walker, let me introduce you to Donald J Trump. And Waller is not the first pro life GQP accused of paying for abortions. Unless there is video of him in a gay playtime with friends, like Cawthorn, he will only get more support from MAGA sympathetic to him because of evil radical left witch hunts.
How many times have we all thought, this one will end trump?

[BannonsLiver]

18. See post 12

[getagrip_already]

30. post 12 is not relevant....

Nobody here has said that warnok is toast, or that it in any way hurts him. They are only saying that this won't persuade any gop voters.

Independents? Maybe, but how any of those are there?

This still comes down to turnout and counted votes. Walker isn't toast over this issue. It will still be too close for comfort, but every cut helps.

[BannonsLiver]

35. The R base and the D base are not the only variables here.

That’s why it matters.

[getagrip_already]

37. but nobody is saying this hurts warnock.....

That is what you implausibly claimed in post 12.

As for who will decide this, I doubt this will move the needle in any meaningful way. The divide is already cast.

Now it is up to voters to turn out, and for their votes to be counted (another big issue here).

[Traildogbob]

33. Bannoniver😂😂😂

It has to be as horrendous looking as his face.
You are so right. Georgia only needs the 30 percent they have. They WILL rig the election and appoint Walker. Votes be damned. Just wait until the SC destroys voting rights this week. And Legislatures power to overturn elections next. (North Carolina Case)
We may need to get use to a Senator Walker just like the Congress of the Howling Monkeys and Gaetz.
Stupid is much more contagious than any virus ever in history. And vaccines and Masks will never stop the spread. Ivermectin and bleach can’t stop this disease.

[Pacifist Patriot]

46. I honestly think the election is going to be humiliating for Walker ...

and would have said that prior to this fiasco. I honestly don't believe it is remotely the horse race being reported. I could be wrong of course. We shall see.

[Dios Mio]

17. Who

cares. They aren’t relevant any more. Stick around for more muck or move on.

[sobenji]

22. And now Herschel has pulled out of the debate

This marks the first time Herschel has pulled out of anything

[Blue Owl]

41. Bwah!

[efhmc]

71. We don't know that for sure. There may be countless other daddyless Walkers out there.

[Initech]

27. They don't care about family values. They care about one party rule.

[sop]

31. The MAGA mob will vote for Herschel just to piss off Democrats and create havoc in the Senate.

Republicans have turned their voting base into a stupid, angry, hate-filled, spiteful, aggrieved mob that doesn't care about things that would improve their lives, like better wages, education and healthcare.

[rubbersole]

50. Ain't need no edukation...

[Mr.Bill]

62. If we pick up enough Senators to have a reliable majority

it would almost be fun to have him around. We could make him the face of the republican Senate and let him make fools out of all of them. He did have Trump's endorsement, right? It'll be great having Trump wear that one every day.

[Blue Owl]

39. This brave kid might just have helped save the country

All just by being honest....

[Captain Zero]

47. October SURPRISE!

everybody!

[orleans]

54. ...

Link to tweet

[SunSeeker]

56. Yup, the kid is not a hero. But I still appreciate him calling out his dad. nt

[StormKing]

86. Like my dad said...

...he suddenly realized he could have been that abortion.

[Tickle]

58. handsome young lad he is nt

[inthewind21]

64. He must

Look like his mother.

[TlalocW]

59. I dunno...

There's that whole, "We'll always forgive a republican for his past sins as long as he says the right magic Jesus words," attitude of conservatives. I have a feeling that having a "flawed man who recognizes his need for God" is better than having a democrat in office is going to be the prevailing opinion of many. Hopefully there will be enough who aren't that "forgiving" who will just not vote to sink his candidacy.

The one thing that would definitely torpedo Walker though is more women coming forward or evidence that he paid for more abortions.

And I'm willing to bet that the one being talked about isn't the only one.

[progressoid]

63. I suspect this is similar to "grab 'em by the pu**y"

Everybody expected it to be the bombshell to end his campaign and yet the voters still came out in droves for him.

[budkin]

66. James Comey made sure of that

Still makes my blood boil.

[BumRushDaShow]

67. Well as a side note, remember this guy and his "grab 'em by the pu**y" moment?

Madison Cawthorn loses primary, concedes to Chuck Edwards in North Carolina

The first-term congressman fell short despite a late appeal from Trump, who encouraged voters to look past the young lawmaker’s string of missteps.

May 17, 2022, 10:48 PM EDT
By Jonathan Allen

WASHINGTON — Buckling under the weight of scandal, Rep. Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C. — a favorite of former President Donald Trump — lost his re-nomination bid in western North Carolina’s 11th District on Tuesday, NBC News projected. State Sen. Chuck Edwards, a conservative backed by many of the state’s establishment players, won with about a third of the vote in an eight-way race. That left Edwards set to advance to November’s general election and Cawthorn, 26, to see his House career come to an end after one term in January.

Cawthorn spokesman Luke Ball told reporters Tuesday night that Cawthorn had called Edwards to concede. Cawthorn, 26, lost despite an eleventh-hour appeal from Trump, who encouraged voters to look past his run-ins with the law, claims that fellow lawmakers use cocaine and engage in orgies, and images of him wearing lingerie and gyrating naked atop another man in bed.

“Recently, he made some foolish mistakes, which I don’t believe he’ll make again,” Trump, who had previously endorsed Cawthorn, said Monday on Truth Social. “[L]et’s give Madison a second chance!” Many Republican voters in the district felt that Cawthorn was an embarrassment — and, perhaps more important, that he sought national attention at the expense of doing his job at home — a sentiment repeated in interviews NBC News conducted in the district this month.

“He’s a hot mess,” Republican voter Susan Newman, 53, said at the time. “I really don’t see him doing anything in the district — and he just keeps getting in trouble.”

Walker is also a "hot mess".

[StevieM]

78. He was about to lose badly until James Comey delivered the election to him. (eom)

65. The maggats don't believe in

"family values".. they believe in Liars Fascists and Thieves

[Skittles]

73. being superficial here

he is crazy good-looking

[Meowmee]

74. Lol

I was thinking that too. I haven’t followed this very closely but I hope it’s going to be bad news for the candidate.

[Skittles]

75. well it's never good when your own kids trash you

ya know?

[Meowmee]

76. Yes

I hope it has some effect. 😀

[Skittles]

77. I honestly don't think it will

extreme hypocrisy is SOP for the GOP.......they made DONALD FUCKING TRUMP "president" - he is their proof that being incompetent, vile and disgusting does NOT hurt the chances of repukes

93. yep this

Really doesn’t matter where on the nut job meter Christian falls.
