Herschel Walker is running for U S Senate.......

[a kennedy]

Herschel Walker is set to resume running, Mike Rosenstein of NJ Advance Media reports.

The ex-NFL star has been encouraged by former President Donald Trump to run for the U.S. Senate in Georgia.

In a video tweeted Friday with the message “Georgia on my mind,” Walker indicated he’s about to throw his hat into the ring: “I’m getting ready. And we can run with the dogs.”

The video ends with a shot of a Georgia license plate on Walker’s car, indicating he might be establishing residency so he can run for office in the The Peach State. Walker, you may recall, played his college ball at Georgia and won the Heisman Trophy in 1982 with the Bulldogs.

Walker’s career as a pro football player began in 1983 when he signed with the New Jersey Generals in the USFL. In 1984, Trump bought the Generals. Walker played two seasons with Trump as his boss before heading to the Dallas Cowboys, who owned his NFL draft rights. The USFL folded in 1986 following its failed antitrust lawsuit vs. the NFL.

1. As a UGA grad I was awed by Herschel on the field and he's a nice guy. But he

is an easily manipulated individual, who has been diagnosed with multiple personality disorder for many years.

10. His talent was on the field. He was always readily manipulated... Anyone say, NJ Generals?

[FarPoint]

2. I hope he flops....or shall I say fumble.

3. To me this guy is the

ultimate dumb jock and I don't think he can win.

7. I can't see it but the name recognition is important - I hope not.

11. Two words: Tommy Tuberville--and he wasn't even a Crimson Tide icon, just Auburn.

We will have to fight because Herschel has name recognition and a reputation for being readily manipulated. Those are two factors, the RW and some low information independents will gravitate to.

4. Helluva football player!

Don't know much about his political savvy... Seems rather malleable?

5. Obviously, Trump is still on Putin's payroll, doing everything he can to destroy our democracy.

6. A man of GOD compared to a man of Qanon better known as . . .. . .

a member of shithole's cult.

[Hortensis]

8. A traitorous Big-Lie Trump and Brian Kemp supporter? Gee, wonder what's

HORRIBLY WRONG with this person? Besides being, demonstrably, a moral empty hole who's enormously unfit for any office in a democracy I mean.

He wants to challenge Raphael Warnock but would first have to move to GA from TX.

9. He would fit right in

With other Republican Senators and Congress people. He's dumb as a box of rocks and speaks on about a third graders level

[a kennedy]

12. So that's the real relationship between the orange piece of shit, and Herschel.....

same grade level communication skills.

[Chainfire]

13. Spoiler candidate. We can expect a lot of that.

[RegularJam]

14. For the most part, he is a dumb jock.

There is something that differentiates him from many dumb jocks nearing his past talent level. He is stable and very even, mentally. If his white handlers can control his every move I see where he might do well in a Republican primary.

15. Walker does not live in Georgia

This is a dumb move

[SilverDawg]

16. As an UGA DAWG, all I have to say is

YUK! So disappointed that Herschel sits in Trump's pocket.
