Warning, I watched Herschel Walker on the news yesterday.

There is nobody home. He does not have both oars in the water. He is mentally unfit, it is obvious. Do Republican voters have eyes, ears? I watched him for just a few minutes and it stood out that there is something wrong with him mentally. Perhaps from playing football he suffered damage to his brain. I wonder if he had concussions while playing.

Let's hope he is not elected.

That's all they care about, along with a warm body that can thumbs-up votes to further dismantle the country.

When he speaks it sounds somehow disconnected. It is clear he does not know the issues which makes it worse.

Don't overestimate the importance of having intellect to be in office. It might be needed for a democrat but it surely isn't required for republicans.

At a pool in Palm Springs. He came across as a very, very, simple guy. Someone with a very low IQ.

Could have been concussions, but my take was he was a never very smart.

He was not afraid of contact when he played. He put his head down and plowed into defenders.

the stupider the candidate the more they can be manipulated by trump.

Asked if he believes there should be new gun laws in the wake of the Texas shooting, Georgia Senate GOP nominee Herschel Walker told me in ATL: “What I like to do is see it and everything and stuff.” He didn’t engage further.

Tuberville or Hyde-Smith. Both beat far superior individuals. These two don't have a 100 IQ combined. I afraid Walker is going to join that group. A reliable yes McConell vote on everything.

They vote against Democrats, not necessarily for Republicans.

You hear it in so many people who voted for Trump. They have either no real idea of what they are saying, or some admit that they will not vote for a Democrat.


You are right, something is cognitively wrong with Walker. He has difficulty putting together coherent thoughts. He would be a disaster for Georgia. I am sure that if he were to be elected, he would likely be kept quiet and away from cameras as much as possible, and his staffers would do most of the work regarding legislation.

IF he gets the Senate seat, he’ll whore himself out to the highest bidder. Over and over and over again. He won’t care who it is or what the cause is. “Just tell me how to vote.”

The last thing that Republicans need in their party is people who can think on their feet. That could muck up the whole works, which explains a lot about why there are such idiots in the House. The message from the party is, "Just stay in line, vote like we tell you and you can run wild, fame and fortune is yours, and ye shall dwell in the House of the Trump forever. Amen.

20. He claims he has "multiple personality disorder."

A.k.a. "dissociative identity disorder." Just search "Herschel Walker multiple personality disorder." You will get multiple results on the subject. I have little doubt that he sustained multiple concussions over his lifetime. Who knows whether or not that is related to his psychiatric disorder? It would certainly have contributed to his abusing various women in his life. He's not only mentally unfit for the job, but unfit, in general. He lied about his education, his business dealings, and a myriad of other things. He lied about his grades, and he never graduated from college.

As for Republican voters, they only see the "R" after his name, his celebrity, and his Heisman Trophy. They don't care hat he's unfit any more than they cared that Trump, another stupid, lying, serial abuser, was unfit.

And he was chosen like West was chosen: to siphon off African American votes from Warnock. Cynical thinking is Walker will attract voters on his football legacy, not on how he'll vote to criminalize abortion in all 50 states or federal judges who will lock up Georgian African-Americans without blinking.

His aides will be the ones with the real power, if he wins. The dumber the better for them, so he won't ask questions.
