(MSNBC) A loss for Walker is a loss for Trump — and McConnell
Since Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell’s well-publicized complaints about “candidate quality” earlier this year, many pundits often lump in Walker with other underperforming candidates whom GOP primary voters and/or Donald Trump foisted upon McConnell and the party establishment, such as Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania and Don Bolduc in New Hampshire.

But in fact McConnell and the rest of the establishment thought Walker an excellent nominee. “I think there’s every indication he’s going to be a good candidate,” McConnell told Politico in September 2021, before endorsing him a month later.

As Axios reported in April, Walker was one of just two non-incumbents backed by both McConnell and Trump (the other being Adam Laxalt in Nevada) during this midterm election cycle. So if Walker, like Laxalt, ends up losing, it’s not a defeat for one wing of the GOP or another — it’s a rebuke of the entire party.
 
Hopefully someone beats Trump to Biden. I don't want to see another round of Trump and Biden handing insults back and forth. That was a huge waste of time.

Walker and wornock are both garbage people in their private lives. Two garbage candidates. When that happens republicans and conservatives tend to stay home. Democrats don’t care just keep that free shit coming to me and I don’t care what you have done.
 
I don’t care what you have done.
That would explain why conservatives and evangelicals flocked to Trump' they didn't care about his past, they just wanted power.
Well, they got their power; I hope it was worth it.

Show me a president with a perfect past? Reagan is about the only president I can remember that wasn’t accused of cheating on his wife or had a shady background. If it would have been a d in his party you couldn’t have voted fast enough for the man.

Only one person was perfect and that was a certain Nazarene gentlemen in Roman Judea; the point I was making is that is was and is hypocritical of y'all to complain about the shortcomings of Democratic presidents like Bill Clinton and Joe Biden when you picked a mobbed-up corrupt real estate mogul who bankrupted casinos, got sues for housing/racial discrimination on several occasions, racially insulted Hispanics, referred to other countries as :censored:hole countries, cheated on his first two wives with women he later married and was a serial sexual predator.

If Trump hadn't been the GOP nominee I wouldn't've voted for either Hillary in 2016 or Biden in 2020 and I sure as hell slagged those two a helluva lot back in the day. But hey, what do I know, I'm just a gay middle-aged Appalachian dude trying to make it through this life and on to the Second Advent, you simple-minded :censored: .
 
Hell, Serafin, you'd think for someone who gave Herschel Walker his big break back in the 80's he'd care a little more about the guy....

(MSNBC) Trump abandons Walker at the end. Republicans don't seem to care
Walker wouldn’t be running for election in Georgia if not for Trump, who owned the USFL team the running back played for in the 1980s and pushed him to challenge Warnock for his U.S. Senate seat. Trump campaigned for Walker before the Georgia Republican primary and deserves credit for him winning 68% of the vote in that race, but Trump has not been visible with any recent support.

It’s unclear who, if anybody, is upset about that. After all, Trump’s highest-profile picks — including Pennsylvania Senate candidate Mehment Oz; Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano, Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and Alaska congressional candidate Sarah Palin — all lost their elections last month. And there’s plenty reason to believe the Republican establishment doesn’t want Trump to show up because they fear he’ll only hurt Walker’s chances with less extreme Republican voters. It also seems likely that Trump doesn’t want to show up because he doesn’t want yet another L on his record.

HuffPost reported last week that Trump isn’t even contributing to getting out the vote for Walker, which he could do invisibly and without attaching himself to the candidate. That’s no way to treat one’s pick.

You just made up a bunch of thousand times exaggerated shit to make a point you didn’t make and didn’t answer the question.

It’s about winning, Herschel understood and certainly Trump does. But in the end they did a piss poor job picking a guy who would have tons of issues in the campaign. Maybe they thought being a football legend would be enough? Either way it’s a loss they deserve.
