It should be painfully obvious that had the nominee literally been just about ANYONE ELSE, the GOP wins that senate seat in a landslide. But it wasn't. It was Hershel Walker. The fact it was Hershel Walker, and that he did as well as he did, should be an indication that almost anyone else would have won.
Hershel Walker is just a complete and total moron. SURELY you can see that!! In addition to that, he is also a complete and total asshole. The people who noticeably didn't support Hershel Walker were most of his former teammates, nearly every member of his family, (many of whom he threatened to kill at one time or another), and nearly all of his children whom he had also threatened to kill. The closest thing that I actually saw to an endorsement was a statement from a former teammates that said "Well, he is a bit strange, but I guess a lot of people have a few skeletons in their closets." Which is a nice way of saying, I don't support him, but I don't want to just lash out at him either, so it hardly qualifies as an endorsement.
Perhaps there were better candidates. So why IN THE HELL DID THE GOP GO WITH THIS GUY?????
It shouldn't bother you that Sen Rev W won. It should bother you that Hershel Walker was who he was running against, and would have almost assuredly NOT won had it been ANYONE ELSE!
