He wasn't, but why do only Republicans get judged on these criteria. Do you honestly expect me to believe that Warnock was any higher quality of a candidate?

Is a dolt like Pramila Jayapal a quality candidate?

The best quality about Walker was he would have flipped a seat to R from D.

Republicans and Conservatives need to understand that if you can hold your nose and do that enough times you will have the seats to effect REAL change. If you're bound to stand by your principals and not vote for republican candidates that you don't like then you lose, as we continue to see.

If the standard now is the democrats can run as shitty a candidate as they want and the republicans must run a perfect candidate then the republicans have bigger issues than just candidate quality.

If people are voting for the likes of a Fetterman or Warnock they aren’t voting on the basis of candidate quality.

You think the slime ball Warnock was?

Walkers wins what, 95% of the counties in the state but ga is lost. The welfare blacks have taken over a couple huge counties, and the white leftists taken over savannah. Ga is done. Just too many blacks now.

You need to admit the GOP lost a lot of voters when the commercial with Herschel's ex wife ran 24/7. Many female surburbans jumped ship.

That is when it was over.

We need to do better. We should not be running those candidates with those issues....period.

And don't tell me about Warnock running over his wife's foot. Not comparable to holding a gun to someone's head.

Then the base must not be serious about winning.

Democrats rally around their candidate regardless while Republicans clutch pearls about “candidate quality”

I agree. He was a terrible candidate. Another hand picked lackey by Trump that got beat in a swing state.

The same will happen to Trump in 2024 if he wins the nomination. Trump will lose all of the swing states.

If Herschel had the full support of Kemp and estabishment after winning his primary AND had national backing of the entire Republican money train, this race would not have went to a run-off.

People who pay attention know why Kemp withheld endorsing Walker in the General election.

The folks with TDS can pan this off on Trump all you want, because it's all you know to do.

This was all McConnell, Graham, McCarthy, Ryan, Romney etc.

You can dislike Trump, but you should be able to rise above the made-up investigations and call those folks on them. If they will try this on a former President, then the Average Joe Citizen needs to wake the frick up.

I am about as conservative as you can get. Raised on Ayn Rand and Milton Friedman.

But definitely not a MAGA big government clown like many here.

Moderate is not me.

Do you actually believe that Trump can win states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada?

We had Kemp win by 7.5.

The Lt. Gov, Ins Comm, Ag Comm, Sec of State, etc etc All Republican won by 6-8.

There was definitely a big issue somewhere.

The piece of shite his his wife with a car, on purpose, and you're going to sit here and knight for him and say it wasn't that bad.

People like you are the reason Republicans can't win shite. Instead of attacking Warnock, you're defending him.
