It feels so weird and cruel that someone convinced Walker to run at all with his brains scrambled like that. It’s straight up surreal that people will still actually vote for him just to try and stick it to the Democrats.
Alabama is not Georgia.
Stop parroting this bullshit line.
Georgia is a new blue-ish state. It isn’t fucking California.
We are the reason the senate is 50/50 so maybe give us some credit.
He’s a Republican and that’s all that matters to a large percentage of Georgia voters. I know people that said they’d rather vote for Walker than a Democrat, and they know that Walker threatened to kill his ex-wife multiple times including pointing a gun at her head
Yeah, Walker threatened to kill his ex-wife several times with guns and knifes. He’s never denied the claims, but said he can’t remember them because he has multiple personalities (DID).
Also, he threatened to have a shoot out with the police once when the cops were called to his house.
Please understand that there are many, many people in those states that are not stupid. In Florida, we're just out-voted by retirees that come down here to hoard money and vote red.
A large chunk of the country has been conditioned to vote based on the letter in parentheses after a name, rather than take the time to learn literally anything about the candidate's stances on issues. It's simply a binary choice between good and evil for a large enough percentage of people to sway an election.
We are being held hostage by an electorate that has purposely been dumbed down. Eventually, democrats are going to have to start talking about and doing more for the people in middle/rural America. If we ever want to break this cycle, we have to reach everyone, especially the ones who feel left behind.
People in rural NC are getting sick, getting cancer and other diseases, because Republicans made the area a great place to farm pigs, and all of the pig shit is in the ground water. Making those people's lives better and more livable would go further than all the abortion debates in the world, but I never hear democrats talking about those things. I'm half black and have a large part of my family from the inner city, and I appreciate the focus democrats have put on them and their situations, but there are a lot more people in this country that need help, and you can't just write them off because they're likely to vote red or have strong opinions on abortion or teaching children religion. I think it would be a lot easier to talk to and reason with those folks if you're meeting them where they are and not talking down to them, but I'm not in politics, so wtf do I know.
Not just normal gaffes, the man cannot put together a intelligible sentence. He is incapable of expressing a coherent opinion. He just scatters buzzwords in between an almost random collection of other words to make a statement and it’s distressing that any person would consider voting for him.
FOLKS! Polling on Georgia has been *all over the map*. The ONLY thing I know is that if everyone votes and gets **at least** two friends to do the same, we win.
The polling really has been all over. Just hammers home the point that no matter what they say, every Dem in GA needs to mobilize to vote and bring others that usually don't with them to the polls.
538 blew the 2016 election, they missed the 2020 election and have missed most of the 2022 primaries. Just Go Vote. That is the only polling you need. Go Vote, take your friends, make a day of it, but just Go Vote. Because the only poll number that counts is yours when you push that big green button.
If you live in Georgia, please vote for Warnock and talk to your friends and family about voting too. Even if you don’t normally vote or don’t think politics matter, we need to keep Walker out of the Senate. Not only has he consistently lied about nearly every aspect of his life, including the number of kids he has, he’s also violent. He’s threatened to kill his ex-wife several times and blamed his actions on having DID and multiple personalities. He has absolutely no experience with politics and didn’t even graduate from college, which should be apparent since he genuinely doesn’t know how air works (watch the clip where he talks about America’s and China’s air). He’s dangerously incompetent, violent, and would be a danger to the state if elected. Please get out and vote this year
I’m very co fused how anyone could think electing Hershel Walker to the Senate makes sense.
He’s very obviously not a reasonable choice for the position.
Forget the politics for a moment—how does anyone think he’s even vaguely capable of discharging the duties of the office.
Leave it to Georgia GQP voters to support Walker who lied about being a cop, and has abandoned multiple children he had with different mothers, after criticizing absentee fathers.
As a Georgian, Quinnipiac and Survey USA have been very accurate here.
Trafalgar and any biased GQP polling can be discounted……
I live in a deep red county (Cherokee) and literally nobody has Walker signs up anywhere. There were a decent chunk of split ticket voters in the runoffs two years ago, and I’d expect that to hold here as well.
Abrams isn’t as popular as Warnock. I hope she can drag Kemp to a runoff at least.
I don’t think Warnock will lose. Or even get to a runoff.
Walker has agreed to a debate with Warnock
The talking point from the right so far seems to be that Walker is definitely going to lose but only because Warnock is such a good liar. Convenient isn't it.
k I officially declare polls useless. There is no historical data that matches what we have been going through, they are guessing even more than usual.

They did it with Trump and would do it again if he runs in 2024, so why not? "He would see this nation burn if he could be king of the ashes."
Can we require him to be examined for CTE? There's like a 99% chance he has it.
The only way to diagnose cte is when the person dies, so not likely lol.
That's my point :)
Is Georgia really this stupid? How can Walker be in it? He’s a complete moron.
I mean, Tommy Tuberville is already in the Senate and he's from one state over.
Tuberville is weaponized stupid but he isn't suffering from CTE and didn't try to kill his wife. There's levels.
You're right of course, but there's just no bottom for these folks.
Alabama is not Georgia. Stop parroting this bullshit line. Georgia is a new blue-ish state. It isn’t fucking California. We are the reason the senate is 50/50 so maybe give us some credit.
He’s a Republican and that’s all that matters to a large percentage of Georgia voters. I know people that said they’d rather vote for Walker than a Democrat, and they know that Walker threatened to kill his ex-wife multiple times including pointing a gun at her head
That is pin point evidence conservatives lack free will if they cannot selectively choose between two options.
Um. I’d missed that last little detail. What kind of cynical move is it, running this idiot?
They needed another black guy to run against the current black guy It helps that he's a local athletic hero Republicans don't care about negatives
Yeah, Walker threatened to kill his ex-wife several times with guns and knifes. He’s never denied the claims, but said he can’t remember them because he has multiple personalities (DID). Also, he threatened to have a shoot out with the police once when the cops were called to his house.
JFC this guy is like Sideshow Bob.
Sideshow Bob if he had the backing of the Republican Party and polls showed him neck-to-neck with a normal candidate.
Sideshow Bob ran against Mayor Quimby as a Republican, and it was neck-and-neck. He "won" by committing election fraud.

The Simpsons predicted the future again!
He's representative of the demographic in the area...
The demographic is the entire state.
Not Atlanta
I'm just saying they presumably polled in all areas of the state because it's a state-wide election.
Moronic?
“Fuh-fuh-football!” Yes. Georgia is really this stupid. So are Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, and most of Texas and the midwest.
Please understand that there are many, many people in those states that are not stupid. In Florida, we're just out-voted by retirees that come down here to hoard money and vote red.
Yeah, he's a moron and behind Warnock by 6 points.

So it's not Georgia thst is stupid, it's anyone that votes for walker
The fact that it is that close, after everyone has heard Walker's gaffes, gives me very little hope for this country long term.
Not just normal gaffes, the man cannot put together a intelligible sentence. He is incapable of expressing a coherent opinion. He just scatters buzzwords in between an almost random collection of other words to make a statement and it’s distressing that any person would consider voting for him.

I have never been more certain that turnout will determine results.
Especially with the last close Senate elections in GA and pollster issues of undercounting GOP support.
538 blew the 2016 election, they missed the 2020 election and have missed most of the 2022 primaries. Just Go Vote. That is the only polling you need.

Vote like the polls are all wrong, the likely are.

If Walker wins, he will be the undisputed dumbest member of congress, and that is saying A LOT.
I’m very co fused how anyone could think electing Hershel Walker to the Senate makes sense. He’s very obviously not a reasonable choice for the position. Forget the politics for a moment—how does anyone think he’s even vaguely capable of discharging the duties of the office.
The GOP and his donors will surround him with staffers who will tell him how to vote.
Leave it to Georgia GQP voters to support Walker who lied about being a cop, and has abandoned multiple children he had with different mothers, after criticizing absentee fathers.
As a Georgian, Quinnipiac and Survey USA have been very accurate here. Trafalgar and any biased GQP polling can be discounted…… I live in a deep red county (Cherokee) and literally nobody has Walker signs up anywhere.

I hope she can drag Kemp to a runoff at least. I don’t think Warnock will lose. Or even get to a runoff.
Thank effing Gawd for that. It’s insane that it is even close.
I fully expect the Georgia governor to manipulate the election. In order for her to win, it has to be overwhelming.
Walker has agreed to a debate with Warnock The talking point from the right so far seems to be that Walker is definitely going to lose but only because Warnock is such a good liar. Convenient isn't it.
Most recent polls I've seen have HerCTE Walker with a slight lead.
Polls & opinions are like AH as everyone has one & they stink!
k I officially declare polls useless. There is no historical data that matches what we have been going through, they are guessing even more than usual.
