    Why was Walker for Senate EVER a good idea?

    “He decided to give us the middle finger and air out all of his dirty laundry in public, while simultaneously lying about it,” Christian Walker added in a series of tweets.

    Because they thought anyone other than Warnock would be better. Kinda like the Dems and Biden

    That would explain the "Not Warnock" for Senate campaign but doesn't explain the Walker for Senate campaign.

    That question leads only to a slippery slope full of questions and few answers. The same question keeps coming up with almost any Republican candidate you care to name.

    You keep pinning your hopes on a political process that looks good on paper but is broken down in reality.

    Walker's denied the accusation. He's lying or not and we can rest assured the left will leave no stone unturned. If he's lying he's done. Unlike a Dem candidate, done with both left and right.

    Even without the accusation he's loaded down with baggage. Considering he took the biden-in-his-basement path the winning the primary it should have been obvious he'd be severely tested in the general and it looks like his family is not surprised. Without this he may have squeaked in but with this there may be thousands that won't necessarily change their vote but may just abstain from the Senate race this time around. Warnock is a bit of "hey, vote for me" but probably more "hey, you really don't wanna vote for that guy do you?"

    But we should look and see which part of the process is broken down. This should have been almost a cake-walk for just about any other candidate but it wasn't because someone is mad.

    Walker? He's getting shredded by ads where he's stretching the truth in old videos. Those and videos of his wife talking about him "holding a gun to her head," etc.

    The part of the process that is broken down is the part that is supposed to take care of itself. The people that thought up this wonderful, self-policing process are long gone and none of the current fools know a damned thing about it.

    It is mind-boggling to me that the GOP and its constituents can keep doing the same stupid shit, election after election, decade after decade, and can't get a fukkin clue.

    Where's the RNC? What exactly is it they do? They're supposed to be overseeing this bullshit and I haven't head a damned consequential word from it since at least the 80s, if then.

    A year ago this was unfuckwithable. The Dems haven't done anything to win. The Republican't's have done everything to lose.

    I want Ukraine to win its war so I can move there. I prefer Eastern Europe to the shithole this place has become.

    You probably would. It's not a woke society at all, which is why I don't understand the lefts love for Ukraine and zelensky.

    I've lived there before. I didn't just pull that idea out of my backside

    You are correct. It's nothing like Sodom and Gomorra West

    There's Walker, whose own son is now out of his campaign: https://hotair.com/karen-townsend/20...e-saga-n501441

    Oz, who someone already mentioned.

    The whack job here in AZ, running against Kelly. . .

    The last just leaves me going, 'Who to not vote for. . .'

    All this, that and the other aside, that's what it boils down to in most cases, IMO.

    The elephant in the room is look what happens when the Dems get total control. They're tearing this country apart.

    They're trying to manage a chaotic process and working with what they have. Which includes an elephant in the room and even when the elephant leaves it still looks like an elephant was there.

    It wasn't all tulips and roses 2-6 years ago. Both ends are pulling hard.
