Republicans Are Grim As Herschel Walker Thinks He’s Running For The House


The Georgia Senate runoff is expected to be close, but Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) has momentum, and Herschel Walker thinks that he is running for the House.

Politico reported:

In a brief interview with POLITICO on Saturday, Walker seemed to mistake which chamber of Congress he was running for and also appeared to think the outcome of his race would determine control of the Senate.

“They’re not [less motivated] because they know right now that the House will be even so they don’t want to understand what is happening right now,” he said of voters. “You get the House, you get the committees. You get all the committees even, they just stall things within there. So if we keep a check on Joe Biden, we just going to keep a check on him.”

The polarization in politics is so extreme right now that a person like Herschel Walker, who doesn’t appear to know what he is running for, will probably get 45%-48% of the vote in the runoff.

Walker thinks that he is running for the House, and he believes that he will determine control of the House, so this is the current state of play for Republicans in the Georgia Senate runoff. The GOP is stuck with a candidate who is glued at the hip to the unpopular Trump, who seems unfit to hold office, and has an opponent running laps around him on the campaign trail.

Republicans are in a glum mood because all signs point to Raphael Warnock being reelected on Tuesday.

1. Herschel prob thinks "The House" means a casino

just sayin'

[smb]

22. Or A House Of Prostitution nt

[Iris]

2. They're not "stuck" with him. They CHOSE him.

It's the most cynical and disgusting action I've seen in this state aside from the "heartbeat" bill.

[Celerity]

18. +100000

[patphil]

35. They thought he'd take enough of the black vote to win.

And that he would be easily managed by McConnell.
Too bad he wasn't properly vetted, or maybe they thought no one would care about his sordid past, and limited intellect.
Turns out they almost got away with it.

Today Warnock is going to keep his seat in the SENATE.
Maybe Walker will claim he seat in the House was stolen.

[GenXer47]

3. would he even show up for work?

Which of his 9 personalities is talking at any given moment? Nobody knows.

[Irish_Dem]

15. McConnell would have to assign babysitters and minders 24/7 to take care of Walker.

Who would tell Walker what to do every day.

[Iggo]

30. Doesn't matter. He can't DO the work.

He’s not smart.

[GenThePerservering]

49. Though to be honest,

most of the gopper legislators don't do any work, either. Not sure what we the taxpayers are paying them for.

[Siwsan]

4. Wait, he actually thinks??

I was beginning to think he lacked that particular skill.

[Walleye]

5. I don't understand the Christians who are rationalizing voting for him by saying God forgives

It’s been a while since I’ve been to Sunday school but, Don’t you have to admit that you sinned, ask for forgiveness and quit fucking lying about it?

[patricia92243]

7. So God has forgiven him - fine. He is still unfit for office for a number of reasons

that we are all familiar with. God may forgive one for being unfaithful, a murderer etc, but they could still have sexually transmitted disease, go to jail and other unpleasant things. Forgiveness does not cancel the here and now.

[Walleye]

11. Yes but according to their religion God hasn't even forgiven him because he hasn't asked for it

I don’t think religion tells you that God is gonna forgive you if you keep lying about your sin. Maybe I got it wrong. Obviously I don’t understand today’s Christianity

[Marcuse]

26. Forgiveness? I don't need no stinking forgiveness!

[niyad]

46. Stroke out already, you F'n, murdering, orange TRAITOR**.

[Freethinker65]

17. God will never forgive them for voting for Herschel. She never forgets.

[Walleye]

19. I guess she has a pretty low opinion of wife beaters

[niyad]

48. She does, indeed.

[niyad]

47. Exactly.

[3catwoman3]

32. The whole "forgiveness" thing is a big scam, IMO.

Too much of an "easy out" for having been a crappy person. And how about the "Go and sin no more" part? Too many repeat offenders who seem to learn nothing from past offences and are in perpetual need of serial forgiveness.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

45. Real GOP: "Can we make money with him?" "Yep." "He's forgiven."

[panader0]

6. Good grief. Absolutely the worst candidate I can remember.

Wait, I take that back after thinking about it.... Walker is dumb for sure but there have been some
candidates that have been evil.

[Maine Abu El Banat]

8. University of Georgia

Has some splaining to do!

[Walleye]

20. So does his prep school, and elementary

[Lovie777]

9. Say what??????

[Easterncedar]

10. I have not heard one word in his favor

How is he getting 47%? I guess we know the disrespect for government fostered by the rage-farming Republicans has brought us to this absurd and dangerous place. Reagan, Dubya, Trump should have been laughed off the stage. Jesse Ventura and Arnold, too, for that matter. And so we have Empty Green and Gaetz and Boebert and doubtless scores of other merely unqualified fools in public office. I wish I saw a way back to a sane place.

On Edit: (After a very good cup of coffee, when I feel less despair) First we fix Citizens United, and if we have to scour out the current court before we can do that, well, let’s get on that!

[FakeNoose]

36. It's all the racist Repukes of Georgia who'd rather have nothing than Warnock as their Senator

That's how he has 47%, but it's still not enough. Walker will lose this and well he should lose. He's completely unqualified to be a US Senator, or any other elected office.

By the way, this is Chump's fault, of course. The Georgia Repukes could probably have found a better candidate on their own if Chump had stayed out of it.

[Easterncedar]

41. Word

Yes. So hard to fathom those who see Walker as more Christian than the Rev. Warnock. Heard a couple say so on NPR this morning.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

44. They say "Walker may be a n___ but he's our n___." Please forgive the n ref but too many think that.

[FakeNoose]

57. Yes I heard the same thing

It's completely vile and hateful. I hope a trusted friend can sit down with Herschel Walker and explain to him how the Repukes have have abused him in a way he can understand and accept. He could go off the deep end when this is over, if he doesn't get the help he needs and deserves.

[ananda]

12. Walker is really losing brain function fast now.

...

[NoMoreRepugs]

13. Could we all stop using the term "Christian Voters?" -

it makes them sound less idiotic than they are - I prefer “Deplorable Morons.”

[NullTuples]

29. But it describes them so well?

They're not using rational thought to vote; they're doing whatever their preacher tells them to do. Doesn't matter if it's the guy they were raised to obey that they see every Sunday (and sometimes Wednesday) or the guy they see on Fox News. Though a bit more complex as it actually involves the approval of their entire subculture and concepts like supremacy, in many regards part of their life has regressed to a child-like state where they simply do what they're told.

[NoMoreRepugs]

40. Agree - I'm comfortable with any descriptor that is derogatory.

[niyad]

51. lying, disgusting, hypocritcal assholes works for me.

[NoMoreRepugs]

58. THIS.

[CottonBear]

14. Herschel also said this (posted w/out comment):

16. Reading Herschel Walker quotes always make me feel like doing this..

[Yavin4]

21. At least he doesn't think that he's running for the end zone. n/t

[vlyons]

23. I feel sorry for Walker

His intellectual abilities are such that he doesn't realize what a fool he is. And shame on the cynical assholes, who are using him. Walker is such a target for righteous ridicule. So easy to make fun of him. Do we enjoy making fun of mentally retarded people? People mentally limited by brain damage?

[niyad]

25. I think he needs a keeper, and to be under care. He is most definitely not well.

[Captain Zero]

43. If Walker wasn't rich and famous then he

Would be in a group home with staff, and a med box.

He would probably get extra staff too because he is so big and has been violent in the past.

This is the guy the Republicans are running.

[niyad]

59. Exactly.

[Harker]

24. These are the same people who thought George W. Bush

would make a good president.

[BobTheSubgenius]

27. That a raving imbecile like Walker can poll in double digits says an awful lot about today's America

[misanthrope]

42. I was going to say something similar.

When I see this race, I automatically understand that had the GOP just put up a run-of-the-mill candidate then they would have beat Warnock in November. That someone so drastically unqualified as Walker could even take this to a runoff says some sobering things about Georgia.

And Georgia might be the most purple state in the old Confederacy. Look just over the state line at Alabama where a similar message emerged in 2017. Democrat Doug Jones, a highly accomplished attorney, almost lost to hard-right demagogue Roy Moore even after the GOP candidate and twice-suspended jurist was revealed to have squired underage women in his adult life. Jones got 50.0 percent of the vote compared to Moore's 48.3 percent.

While some chose to spin the Jones win as hopeful, the close finish was actually testimony to how polarized and bleak the Alabama political landscape was. Incumbent Jones was resoundingly defeated by former football coach Tommy Tuberville in the 2020 race.

[BobTheSubgenius]

60. You certainly fleshed out your position well.

[IronLionZion]

28. He can run to his house in Texas

and be on the lookout for werewolves and vampires.

[NowISeetheLight]

31. He's running FROM the houses...

Where all his different kids live! LOL

[musclecar6]

33. Herschel

Walker has serious mental health issues and obviously is being used by the Republican party for their despicable purposes. How low can they go to trot out a guy like this, who at one time was a star athlete and now is being made a fool of for all to see.

The Republican party has no heart, just like their Orange completely amoral Con man, liar and a cheat. They should hang their heads for this awful stunt making a mockery out of him.

What's worse is, imagine if he actually got elected ?

[Wednesdays]

34. "... because all signs point to Raphael Warnock being reelected..."

Help make it happen!

[Blue Owl]

37. Is this the super bowl?

[LiberalFighter]

38. Here is the outhouse he wins.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

39. Walker thinks he is a "house _____" rather than a "field ______"?

[keithbvadu2]

50. Actually, there are two 'houses' in Congress. The Senate is one of them.

Actually, there are two 'houses' in Congress.

The Senate is one of them.

The H of R is the one commonly known as the House.

Doubtful if Herschel would understand that anyway.

[Evolve Dammit]

52. OMG

[Cha]

53. I got a text from one of those

idiots that said.. "Go DAWGS!.. he Took us to a National Championship!!!"

[onetexan]

54. i'm willing to bet all this chap's Little Grey Cells have been killed off by concussions suffered

during his football days. Or am i giving him too much credit?

[Genki Hikari]

61. I believe he was stupid before he ever picked up a football

nt

[GreenReaper]

55. To be fair

Hershal’s never heard of a Senate N*****

[relayerbob]

56. Nah, in reality

He has zero idea of what he is running for. Senate, House, whatever, they all are a blur to him.

[SouthernDem4ever]

62. 48% of Georgia voters probably thought he was running for the house too

they have to be that stupid to vote for him.
