“I don’t like carpet baggers whether a Clinton or a Romney”

Born in Georgia, grew up in Georgia, went to school in Georgia, went to college in Georgia.

Was hired by the Dallas Cowboys, which were in Texas, so he settled in Texas.

Is now back in Georgia.

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


Not in regards getting elected.

The question will be, how effective is he at knocking down these obvious attacks - some of which you can expect will be quite dirty.

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


Yep. Though it’s likely there will be an entirely different tier of assaults upon him for the general election.

Many GOP Senators have multiple personality disorders. They campaign as conservatives and govern as progressive-corportists.


That’s a good line of attack.

There is only one question to ask...
Is he a bush league chamber of commerce worshiping republiCAN’T?

If the answer is no, then he is good enough for me.
If the answer is yes, then primary him.

So, let’s be honest here..
You are either for the bush league chamber of commerce worshiping republiCAN’Ts..
Or you are against them...

You must choose

You mean effective like all the senators we have presently?

Biden had 50 years but I guess he knew how to successfully work the system.
So, I guess that makes him a great politician?

Spot on. What makes an “effective senator” anyway?

IMHO-One who understands and follows the Constitution is #1, followed closely with a philosophy that we have enough laws, so for every new law they want to pass they must sunset 2 existing laws. Eventually we could get back to an originalist Constitutional Republic the Founders provisioned us to have.

Quite frankly, I can’t think of any effective senators concerned with liberty, other than maybe one or two and I’m not truly convinced even they don’t have hidden agendas.

All a Senator has to do is show up and vote. No leadership necessary.

He’ll be no worse than the last two GOP dopes who lost those two seats on the same day.

Yep. Swamp staff do all the work and have the real power. Senators read what is written for them, vote and party. That’s it.

Precisely why Senators make poor Presidents.

If Mitch McConnell had anything useful to say his name wouldn’t have “MINORITY” preceeding it.

"Herschel is a great guy. Very likable. But I don’t believe he’s got what it takes to be an effective senator."

Geez...look at what is already "in" the Senate. Sure, Walker probably will be a mediocre politician, but if he causes the swing of the Senate from Dhimocrat to 'Publican, go for it!

Agreed, that’s why I posted what I thought might be a way back. I know it’s probably fantasy, but stranger things have happened.

“Walker, with Trump and an angry Georgia electorate behind him, will wipe the floor with Warnock.”

IF it is an honest election.
