But I don’t believe he’s got what it takes to be an effective senator.

What would that be?

A potted plant will work fine if it doesn't give McConnell or Schumer more power.

....the leading Candidate to replace Gavin Newsome if he’s recalled is another Black Republican...

Not just any Black Republican. Larry Elder is lawyer who has made his living the past few decades arguing publicly for Conservative principles . He could very well become an even bigger threat to the RATs than Trump.

That’s actually a huge point in his favor. This country has been fouled up beyond repair by “effective senators.”

We all know that CNN has the interests of the Republican Party at heart. That is where I go to find out what is good and bad for them.

I was trying to figure out how to say exactly what you said.

Good post.

Chris Cillizza actually noted the biggest problem Vichy Republicans and the rest of the establishment have with Walker. He has never ran for office before. Just like President Trump, he is not a member of the aristocracy and as a Trump supporter, he will never be allowed through those hallowed doors.

- He hasn't lived in the state in a very long time
- He hasn't run for office before

Amazingly, CNN never considered these points "a total nightmare" for Hillary's Senate run in NY.

His skill set does not make him a good senate candidate.

I disagree to him not being a good CANDIDATE! His looks and demeanor are a good skill set for the election so long as he does not get caught in stupid human tricks WHICH a hostile MSM will do their LEFTist Best!

But I tend to agree that his life story worries me as an actual US Senator. However, the usual problem in running against an incumbent is a candidate that can pull in good publicity. Who else in the Georgia GOP is better at being both a candidate AND Senator?

Give us all a few examples of any Senators who “have what it takes”

Thanks

I remember hearing good things about Herschel well beyond football starting in his college days.

Arch-conservative is my take.

Beware of any media opinions of a conservative black man.

They’ll work overtime to destroy him like they did DJT.

You think it takes certain special qualifications to be a Senator? Really? We need real people who have actually done stuff in life, not people like Bernie Sanders who’ve spent all their lives living at home with Mommy, going to college and then straight to government.

Good grief. What nonsense. It’s a total nightmare alright — for the Democrats.

I take this article as a ringing endorsement of the future Senator Walker.

CNN is dogshit from one end to the other.

Walker is untested. Nobody knows if he knows how to present himself to the voters. That’s what a primary campaign is for.

Let the best man win.
