[Wonder Why]

GOP Sen. Rick Scott of Florida believes Herschel Walker will "continue to be a leader in our party for years to come" after the former NFL player was defeated in the Georgia Senate runoff.

"Over the last year, I've gotten to know Herschel and have seen first-hand the movement he built in his home state," Scott said in a statement on Wednesday. "Herschel's story and message inspired millions in Georgia and across the country. While Herschel came up short ... I know he will continue to be a leader in our party for years to come."

Wow! The Democratic Party can only drool at the possibility. Think of the opportunity. Walker can replace the Orange Man who will then be "free" to spend his waning days in federal and state pens.

1. JFC two GD idiots.

[Mr.Bill]

2. We should call Scott's bluff

and nominate Walker to be Speaker of the House.

[70sEraVet]

16. +1 Mr.Bill

[calimary]

39. You'd have to change the job title. Incoherent Babbler of the House.

[NCjack]

66. Perhaps we could help HW move to Florida and prepare to challenge

Sen. Scott reelection.

[Big Blue Marble]

3. Rick Scott is just covering his behind.

He was a total fail in getting the Senate back and he knows it.

[bahboo]

18. yep..

[Ford_Prefect]

4. Yeah right...And the moon is still made of green cheese. The GOP is no longer discussing reality in

any sense of that word. They are now entirely engaged in falsifying the record and obscuring real consequences related to any actions or legislation they may adopt.

Scott speaks for the rest of the party not presently beholden to McConnell, including the House.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

24. So not be so unkind! The Stupid need as many Pied Pipers of Idiotocracy as they can!

They not really trying to win elections, they trying not to have any at all!

Really this out of touch?

9. Yes, apparently.

It's hard to imagine what his motivation is in saying stuff like this, other than just being totally clueless.

[ZonkerHarris]

13. He thinks it buys the GOP votes of African Americans

[Mr.Bill]

17. Their lack of understanding in this area

will be their demise. It's already begun.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

25. No. Less then 2% voted for The Stupid. Man is sucking up to The Thing.

Walker will fade into the woodwork soon enough, already happened.

[Evolve Dammit]

8. the sheer idiocy is astounding. Mr. Medicare Fraud says what??

[Atticus]

10. Santa comes early! nt

[keithbvadu2]

11. Leading the way... back to Texas.

54. Love AATW!

Loved Texas Swing since Bob Wills and TTP. Thanks, Mopar 151.

[SomewhereInTheMiddle]

64. Worked with them several times ...

... when I was with Austin City Limits. Both AATW and the Texas Playboys.

Great music. Nice people. Ray would say "Hi!" to me on the street. He was that gracious.

Thanks for the reminder.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. Herschel should "move to" Florida (in quotes)

and primary Rick Scott (who is up in 2024). Of course Rick may try to take on DeSatan in the Presidential primaries so either way it would be a battle of the

[EarnestPutz]

21. Herschel in Florida would add a whole new dimension to the concept of "Florida Man".....

.....as part of a news headline. Though the competition there is pretty stiff.

27. Be fun to watch!

[bedazzled]

43. We already have Madison cawthorn

He can get elected here too I bet. It's like Stephen king's "the stand. " all the rotten folk are gravitating here

[BumRushDaShow]

44. And I wouldn't count out Matt "I should be in jail but ha ha!" Gaetz either!

[bedazzled]

49. A hunk of garbage could be elected here

With an 'R" after its name. And has been!

[BumRushDaShow]

51. "A hunk of garbage could be elected here"

Like this stinking heap of slime -



who fortunately was only in office briefly but has now befouled TX.

[bedazzled]

58. Honestly, EVERY republican is garbage

All revolting to some degree, some more putrescent and vile than others. All seeming irredeemable at this point.

[Chainfire]

14. I am really happy for Walker and Skeletor.

Perhaps Rick can let Walker run his election campaigns. The Republicans always bring their best and brightest.

[ananda]

19. Republicans are just defeating themselves these days.

Keep it up Reeps!

[MyOwnPeace]

20. Are these 'RepubliCons' having a contest.......

as to who can make the most stupid statements?

Seriously - Hersch didn't even win his "home state" and Scott thinks that Hersch is going to be "a leader in our party for years to come?"

Oh PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let it be so!!!!!!!

[keithbvadu2]

47. Herschel was smart enough to be a carpetbagger in his own home state.

Herschel was smart enough to be a carpetbagger in his own home state.

[ShazzieB]

22. CONTINUE to be a leader?

Don't you have to become a leader before you can continue to be one?

Asking for a friend....

[BOSSHOG]

46. Yessirreebob Scott, and marsha Blackburn is a leader of the gop

So much leading. Y’all never get tired of leading do you senator scott

[patphil]

23. Wow! Senator Scott is setting the bar really really low.

So low you need a shovel to find it.

His story and message inspired millions? Millions of misogynistic men who can't keep their cocks in their pants, don't want to use a condom, and aren't willing to acknowledge the children they fathered; the ones who he didn't get his women abort.
I guess those are traits Senator Scott admires.

[TNNurse]

26. In the world of stupid political statements,

that ranks very high.

[musclecar6]

35. Yeah

Way up there. Course stupid and crazy are what the Republican Party is all about, since that Jackass who should be in Jail, took over the party.

[Red Mountain]

28. he's just scared

Vampires are afraid of werewolves.

[Yonnie3]

29. Come on, we are being trolled

pondering ...

pondering ...

pondering ...

Nope, it is real.

[Cha]

30. It figures.. Rick Scott is a Stupid

fucking idiot.. and that's the proof.

[TNNurse]

31. Anyone think Herschel could tell you what the letters GOP stands for???

[PortTack]

32. I say good! Let everyone see just how ridiculous they all are with leaders like walker

[Initech]

33. So basically that means he'll start a podcast and be another yak box in the echo chamber?

[Hestia]

34. Of all the GQP MAGAts, I feel sorry for HW - I feel that he is being preyed upon by horrible

"human beings" simply because he has brain damage and goes along with whatever 'they' say. All he sees is that someone is fluffing him up and paying attention to him.

I feel he has a mental disability and, at times, truly doesn't understand what is happening around him. His family needs to have some sort of testing done for him, though it seems you can't get a true diagnosis until he dies. Still...

As always, YMMV

[OAITW r.2.0]

36. The leadership standards for the Republican Party are in freefall.

[childfreebychoice]

38. As a black woman, watching walker allowing himself

To be used by white overlords... humiliating. As a woman watching so many women voting for walker simply because of the (R) behind his name, totally disregarding allegations of abuse... shows power and party, trumps common sense. The election was waaay too close

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

56. You are correct there.

Rev. Warnock should have won by 20 or more percentage points. But the MAGAt base is not interested in electing representatives who are good legislators.

[Wonder Why]

68. "shows power and party, trumps common sense". Wow! great use of the English

language to be able to include Trump and common sense in the same sentence. It's the oxymoron of the year.

Five stars to you. I have to remember that one.

[TheCowsCameHome]

40. Scott's brain must be as compromised as Walker's

..which is fine with me.

[oldsoftie]

42. No, he'll go back to TX & keep selling chicken.

Just what he did BEFORE Trump conned him into making a fool of himself

[Skittles]

45. a leader

[keithbvadu2]

48. Leading the way... back to Texas.

[tclambert]

50. Whenever the Republicans need to court the werewolf vote . . .

though it may cost them a few vampire votes.

[czarjak]

52. The Rich White Guy Party's hope for the future is whom?

[rubbersole]

65. That is the $64,000 question.

A southern repub governor that tfg can support. Oh, wait...

[Warpy]

53. Maybe he'll set his sights lower and run for Gohmert's seat

do instead of the Daily Louie, Juanita Jean can run the Daily Hersch. I'm sure that addled dope will supply them.

They're probably counting on him to translate their wonderful party so that black people can understand it.

Yeah, right.

[louis-t]

55. Leader of what?

What "movement"?

[Ray Bruns]

63. Bowel movement.

[JohnnyRingo]

57. If they need to use him. Ask Michael Steele.

They'll keep his number in the rolodex in case they need to find a rare black republican.

[Slammer]

59. Maybe they should

make Walker the head of the Senate Republican Campaign Committee for 2024?

[NotHardly]

60. Yes please ... with Hershal a Leader w/ Republicans is my sincere little Democat hope

[mwb970]

61. Who does he think he is fooling with such nonsense?

I will never, ever understand conservatives.

[Beartracks]

62. "Herschel's story and message" have already been told before, and better...

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans




============

[BradAllison]

67. Creep

Rick Scott looks like a sex predator.

[Martin68]

69. That's great news. Having a failed politician "lead the party for years to come" should hasten the

party's inevitable decline. Add to that the fact that Scott finds Walker's lies and degenerate behavior "inspiring" reveals how bankrupt the GOP has become when it comes to ideas, policy, and just plain common sense.

[mercuryblues]

70. Too bad he only comes out on full moons.

[GoneOffShore]

71. Does Rick Scott spend his off hours sticking forks into toasters?

And will he be able to learn to breathe through his nose anytime soon?

[Kennah]

74. He'll be unavailable every full moon
