Herschel Walker talks Senate run with Clay Travis

[Gunny]

Good opening statement, anyway. That and he's going after a Dem's seat. I've always like Walker. He has always appeared to be a class act. Even played for the Cowboys and didn't get involved in any off-fiend controversy over his behavior. Of course that was before Jerry Jones.

Outkick founder Clay Travis kicked off his college football bus tour with Herschel Walker Saturday, sitting down with the former athlete at the Georgia-Clemson game in Charlotte ahead of his run for a U.S. Senate seat.
Walker, a Heisman Trophy recipient, told Travis on "Fox & Friends Weekend" it’s been "very interesting" since announcing his bid to become a Georgia senator.
"I have the left, and even the right, coming at me sometimes," Walker said. "Right now, I don't like what's going on in this country."

If elected, Walker would unseat Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in 2022.


"I see so many things that I disagree with, that's not the American dream I grew up around, not an American dream that I want to be in this country," Walker said. "So I'm going to fight."
Travis said he’s noticed an "anti-American" sentiment in sports culture but feels that tone could change this season.
"I was at the Tennessee game against Bowling Green," Travis said, "people just started spontaneously chanting, 'U-S-A!' I think we're seeing a blowback in the other direction where people are ready to embrace America and embrace the excellence that this country represents."
Many universities increased stadium capacities this year, reversing many of last season's attendance limits due to COVID concerns.
"I'm not sure any sport lives off of the enthusiasm of its fans better than college football. It just brings a different element," Travis said.

I'm not sure he should really be in the race.

I'm not sure he should really be in the race.

Why?

Why?

It's not, or shouldn't be, a popularity contest. What's his campaign type experience? How does he do in a debate? What are his views? What is his temperament? What does he think about foreign policy? Tax policy? etc.?????? So many questions and more chance to lose when you're a rookie.

And how will anyone know this until he gets in the race. Your dismissal of him because he's a rookie says volumes about your outlook on politicians.. apparently you prefer career politicians.

Or better yet .. who do you think should be running?

I love it how some folks try to infer their own opinions of me based on what I do or do not specifically say.

People would know what he thinks because he would have expressed opinions over time as in not being a blank slate. I prefer people who know what they believe and why and are able to explain themselves adequately over the course of a campaign. Kelly Loeffler was pulled from nowherer, needed to learn on the job, and ultimately ran an awful campaign giving us Warnock in the first place. There are other people who are running who've been through the campaign a time or two.
