Does Walker come out and sing "Amarillo by morning"?

Idea for the next Heisman House commercial.

Walker enters and says “Herschel is in the house!!!”.

Someone replies “But not the Senate”.

nice

Warnock defeats Walker, giving Democrats 51-49 majority in Senate

U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock fended off a challenge from Republican Herschel Walker to win a full six-year term that broadens the Democratic majority in the chamber after a turbulent runoff campaign that sharpened partisan divides in one of the nation’s most politically competitive states.

1.7 million people still voted for the idiot Walker. After all the lies, misinformation, sexual misconduct and abortions they claim to be against, 1.7 million voters still wanted this immoral idiot to represent them in D.C.

This country is broken.

The day before the election, he was confusing the House and the Senate. The repubs almost got themselves a puppet...

those 1.7 million people are broken, not the whole country (state)

I am a disillusioned swing voter in Georgia that gave up. I did not vote in 2022. It breaks my heart.

For the first time since 1976 I didn’t vote. My parents were Dixiecrats but I rejected the cult. I voted for Reagan twice once I turned 21. I voted four times for a Bush. I even voted for Dole in 1994.

However, when McCain’s VP was Palin that was a bridge to far. I am a fundamental conservative that watched the GOP sell their soul to fascism. That breaks my heart.

The GOP has abandoned democracy

The lieutenant governor of Georgia said he submitted a blank ballot.

I still find it hard to believe Walker was the best candidate

His main primary opponent was a former Ag Commissioner. His Wikipedia article says he is a Trump supporter that wouldn’t take a position on the validity of the 2020 election.

Without Herschel’s baggage he could have won.

Warnock: "I am Georgia. I am an example and an iteration of its history, of its pain and its promise, the brutality and the possibility."

Warnock: "Just because people endured long lines ... the rain and the cold and all kind of tricks in order to vote, it doesn't mean that voter suppression doesn't exist. It simply means that you the people have decided your voices will not be silenced."

Herschel Walker was meant to be white conservatives’ trophy. A Black caricature, and a cruel example of what they could accomplish in a state they’ve rigged with voter suppression. Shame on them. Congrats to Sen. Warnock. Congrats to all of us.

I think Hershel Walker as the Republican nominee is the political equivalent of "I have a black friend." (As if Republicans said, "Hey, what if we scrounge up some black guy of our own to run against their black guy?")

 

[selmaborntidefan]

Is there any truth to the rumor that Herschel heard that the Atlanta Home for Unwed Mothers is closing down so he volunteered now that he has more free time to provide them with as many unwed mothers as they wanted??????

Georgia Candidate Who Thinks 2020 Was Stolen Apparently Voted Illegally 9 Times (vice.com)

I thought this was an excellent article on that topic.
