The thing that blows me away.

Forget Party identity, for a minute.

What do 1,4MM voters see in Walker as their Senate voice? It's going to take him a year to figure out where the Senate bathrooms are...why the fuck would this many people vote for a buffoon that has no clue what happens in the US Senate?

Someone incapable of independent thought can be relied on to vote exactly as they’re told.

They know he'll do as he's told. And, he has an "R" after his name. That's all that matters to them.

You can’t answer that question if you forget Party identity. That’s the answer. It’s all party identity.

Trying to figure what the voter thinking is. How does a Hershel Walker help their lives? He really doesn't, except he'll vote how Mitch McConnell tells him to. Guess they really like getting fucked. Again, politically wise.

The true Racist would have boycotted the election because....black candidates, But it does appear that enough white racists will vote for the candidate that will help help further the white racist agenda.
