3. Because he won't appeal to the racist base?

I assume (without checking) that all of his positions are sufficiently insane, if Turd has endorsed him.

2. Cringe-inducing prospect (Herschel in a debate). Even during his football career

that was, shall we say, problematic.

4. I doubt that would be an issue for the MAGATS.

They love ignorant idiots. However, his melanin level might be a serious issue for them.

5. A massive super majority of voters do not watch Senate debates.

His ability or inability to debate will largely be irrelevant.

7. Hey, the p*ssy-grabbing former guy won

6. He doesn't even live in Georgia

8. Here's a good article on him from Tim Miller

In a 2008 interview with Nightline, Herschel wanted to tell the world “my truth.” (He was ahead of the game in the now omnipresent cultural distinction between “the truth” and “my truth” so, points for that I guess?)

Part of his truth was that he had been diagnosed with a rare mental illness called “dissociative identity disorder” or D.I.D., which is colloquially known as “multiple personality disorder.” While some of his work with the Patriot Support Program and others to destigmatize the disease is laudatory, the “darker behavior” that he attributes to this problem is rather shocking.

In the 2008 interview his ex-wife said “we were talking and the next thing I knew he just kind of raged and he got a gun and put it to my temple.” She later attributed it to one of Walker’s alternate personalities saying, “there was somebody there that was evil.” Walker subsequently “threatened to kill his wife, his wife’s friend, and his therapist” in a therapy session.

In 2015 Walker told ESPN that he used to play “Russian Roulette” when guests came to his home. He described these encounters as part of a test of wills, where he would demand that anyone who wanted to challenge him in an athletic endeavor first demonstrate their strength by participating.

9. Trump Isn't Interested in Winning the GA Senate Race - Hence His Push for Walker to Run.

Trump wont do anything that might help McConnell become Majority leader again.
