Will the racism thing affect Walker? There may be a bunch of these loudmouths in Georgia who claim to support him, but in the privacy of the voting booth, how may of them will let racism trump (pun intended) their MAGA love? How many of them wouldn’t vote for a black man under any circumstances?

Sadly, there are people like that. My sister’s mother-in-law, who worked as a school secretary for 30 years, told us a story about someone she knew in the school system who used to be an avid Democrat and who even ran for office as a Democrat. Until Obama became the Dem nominee - then suddenly he went full on birther and is now a Trumper. Ugh.
