Georgia Senate hopeful Herschel Walker (R) downplayed himself ahead of his debate with Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) next month, saying “I’m not that smart” — comments that his campaign argued were sarcasm.

After some haggling between the two campaigns, the candidates announced last week that Warnock and Walker would be participating in a televised debate on Oct. 14 with Savannah, Ga., Nexstar affiliate WSAV. The Hill is owned by Nexstar.

Who cares? Walker is merely a pawn of Trump, just as Warnock is a pawn of the Left. You need a hand to pull the lever, but no brains required.

Self-effacing humor. He had a B average from University of Georgia which is a selective school, IOW it’s not a walk in the park academically.

He left after 3 years for the NFL. Obviously he would make more money in several years as an NFL player than in an entire career doing something else.

This is a sign the guy is not a narcissist which seems to be rare among politicians.

Warnock is a hard core Castro lover.
Walker being backed by President Trump is just great.
Don't compare Trump to Dementia Joe.
President Trump doesn't shake hands with empty air like Biden does.

Warnock is the epitome of “do not trust this guy! Do not vote for this guy”

I wouldn’t give a dime for any Democrat in all of GA... And half the Republicans.

Actually what you have in Hershel is an honest man. He will play it straight in the senate and he will actually represent the people of GA.

Lol OK! I have no problem with Walker but let's be honest, he's not about to write the sequel to the Federalist Papers!

I actually think he will win, and it will be cool to have the AL / GA football connection represented in the Senate.

If he knows right from wrong and doesn’t waver then he’s smarter than all the left wing wackos.

That's only the morning agenda at the annual Democrat retreat.

‘I’m not that smart’

He made that obvious when he started talking about the earth being flat.

You miss out on a lot of that edjumication stuff when you're identified as a star athlete in Jr Hi and taken out of the mainstream of the education system so your time won't be squandered on all that book larnin'.

You do not know him, I do. He is not stupid. However, your comment proves how stupid you are.

True, but how did we end up with someone who is so dumb as to be virtually inarticulate and probably functionally illiterate, and he is going to lose what should have been an easy pickup. Walker is just cretinous.

Walker is NOT the Fetterman of Georgia by a long shot.
