Herschel Walker and "abortion" issue.

It is not an issue that will cause the Republicans to desert him, not even the most devout evangelicals.

In fact, it will probably increase their support for him.

Because the brand name (R) and the tribe affiliation are stronger than any issue, including abortion.

The more Walker is criticized for it, the stronger he becomes, in my opinion.

Conversely, it may increase somewhat the Democratic turnout. But I doubt it.

Just my opinion.

It’s going to be a close election. Herschel will peal some votes off in the A. A. Community but this hits with suburban women of all colors. His son could have more of an effect than the actual story (saw that mentioned on Morning Joe this morning). It could COULD bleed off votes from the hardcore pro-lifers who don’t vote….or see Warnock for who he is as opposed to Herschel.
