Has the GOP already thrown the towel on Walker?

I saw Mercedes Schlapp on fox news this afternoon and she said it would be tough for Walker to win.

Why would she say that the day before the election?
Shouldn't she be encouraging voters to get out and vote for him?

I don't understand some of the people in the Republican party.

The race was over the moment Laxalt and Masters lost. Turnout determines close elections and the GOP turnout will be even worse than it was in the 2021 runoff. GA Republicans have already shown in the past that they will not show up for runoff elections.

It is simply easier for the Democrats to generate (or manufacture) turnout. Their voters are all crammed literally right next to each other.

They threw in the towel as soon as Walker won the primary.

Just the opposite. They want him to lose. It’s super easy to vote and lose by a point and decry “those evil Dems” while having done nothing to advance the country. The swamp not only wasn’t drained, I think it’s gotten worse.

So you tell the voters your candidate won't win?

That's like coach telling the team before the game "you guys can't win".

I get at least one phone call and 5 texts every day asking me to vote. Nobody here has given up. Bottom line the (D)s have a lot more money then the (R)s. This shows up in ad spending.

I've spoken to several people who haven't voted in ages that went to vote for Herschel. It all depends on how many liberals vs conservatives turn out to vote, the GOP be damned.

Meh. I just don't care about this person's comments. Anyone who needs a politician to tell them to go vote in order for them to go vote is a waste of life already anyway.

Having so much early voting and on Saturdays is really going to crush Walker….especially since like half the State will be in heavy rain most of the day tomorrow

Warnock has all my digits. Daily calls and text. I block them. I even called number to put me on do not call.

He’s relentless.

No calls from republicans.

I voted early for Walker.

Walker is a profoundly terrible candidate. The GOP were willing to continue to pretend otherwise if it could flip the Senate. Since it won't flip the Senate, they will save the money and effort. He was always a pawn in the GOP game.

I think the combination of the majority already being lost, and Walker being really dumb has caused many to write it off.

If I lived in Georgia, there’s no way I’d go stand in line to vote for Walker.

You have no clue.

The towel was thrown with Herschel's ex wife saying he put a gun to her head and threatened to kill her. That commercial has been running 24/7 for 4 months. Pretty hard to overcome. A deal breaker for many.

Agree that no one has thrown in the towel on Walker. I get texts and calls multiple times per day from his campaign.

I've never seen the lines for early voting longer at my precinct (Buckhead) which is largely conservative (although getting woker by the day). My wife tried three times to vote on Friday but the lines were out to the street.

Time will tell.

This. And at the same time I think I heard about Warnock trying to run over his wife maybe twice

Molek - also spelled mlk...which means sacrifice.

Interesting that Warnock preaches at MLKs old church and encourages abortion for any reason, at any point.
