Georgia's Senator must be a Georgia resident.
Herschel is NOT a Georgia resident. He has admitted this.
Herschel CANNOT serve as Georgia's Senator even if enough of you dirty yourselves to help him win the run-off.
Can you stand in front of your mirror---or your children---and say that Walker should sit in the US Senate as your---their---Georgia Senator?
If you can't bring yourself to vote for Rev. Warnock, just stay home on election day. You won't feel like you need a shower when the polls close.
ADDENDUM: Mea culpa! As Mucifer pointed out below, Walker IS running legally. This is because although he has claimed a Texas tax benefit only available to Texas residents and the "Georgia residence" he listed turns out to be a rental property solely owned by his wife, the Constitution only requires residency of the state when one "serves" as Senator, not "runs" for Senator.
So, while Walker is apparently a liar and a tax cheat, as long as he is a "resident" of Georgia before he is sworn in if elected, the MAGAvolk say it's all hunky-dory.
Thanks to Mucifer for the correction.

Otherwise, it's rude.

(58,785 posts)For that matter, astonishing as some of the Republican senate candidates have been, that party wouldn't have supported someone who couldn't take office. The GA senate seat is hugely serious business.

Sady obvious Hershel Walker is an intellectual and moral midget.

Who are his backers?
Who manages him?
Who funds him?

(58,785 posts)They've been acquainted for decades, and Walker stumped for him in 2020 and was generally sucking up to him. In other words, Walker himself as #1.
It's a mistake to assume that a poor fund of knowledge equates to too stupid to butter one's own bread -- very different things.
Otoh, I suspect "moral midget" might require further growth, but nice to be generous.
