GOP to Herschel Walker: Consider staying on the bench

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republicans loved seeing Herschel Walker score touchdown after touchdown. They doubt he can carry them to the Senate majority.

Walker is a former NFL star and Donald Trump’s favorite to take on Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in the Georgia Senate race next fall. But as years-old allegations about Walker's marriage and business dealings weigh on his potential bid, Senate Republicans are raising concerns about his past in a state widely viewed as their best pickup opportunity next year.

“Some of it’s pretty bad, obviously: physical abuse and pulling a gun on his wife, if that’s true,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a former chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee who is close to Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. “I want to win that race. And to the extent that he’s handicapped by some of these things that would make that unlikely, I’d prefer to have somebody else.”

Walker’s potential candidacy offers another test case for the former president's influence over the GOP, as Trump tries to play kingmaker in Senate races that will determine whether Republicans can win back the majority. Trump has already backed Rep. Ted Budd in North Carolina and Rep. Mo Brooks in Alabama in open primaries, breaking with the endorsements of the Senate Republicans vacating those seats.

1. He's a sad figure. Hell of an athlete, but frankly never Mensa material and major issues now IMO

Trump loves him because he defends Trump. But, what a trainwreck that will be. I'd cheer on his candidacy to give Warnock the best chance, but frankly, given what appear to be serious mental health issues, I feel a tiny bit guilty doing so.

Not me. I'd welcome this circus clown running vs Warnock, especially since over the years he's said things like there is no racism and that blacks cause their own problems. Yes, I guess George Floyd put that racist, murderous cop Chauvin's knee on his neck so he could kill him.

Herschel Walker is a self-hating, dumb as 10 bags of hammers jack ass. He's the Larry Elder of Herschel Walkers. His son is a rolling train wreck like his father. He's allegedly Gay, but he hates gays and blacks, although he's half black, and he helped run gays for trump out here in West Hollywood, and he said that that Dems stole the election from trump. He said that Biden needs to leave the White House immediately.
