Even the most red election prediction site I see on YT gives Herschel 0%.

At least Fetterman had a political record to run on. Not a great one, but it’s more than Walker has. It’s mind blowing Walker made abortion restrictions a central plank of his campaign when he himself has been linked to multiple abortions. Did the Republican Party not vet him at all?


I disagree if we're comparing apples to apples. Herschel was on a federal advisory committee, Uncle Fester was the mayor of a 50-person village and managed to stick a shotgun to the head of an innocent black man. I'll take the federally appointed position over the local position where Fester bought his way in.

Walker will be outspent nearly 10-to-1 when all is said and done. McConnell devoted substantial funding to Murkowski's effort to run against a Republican. SBF, Soros and others likely funded Warnock's campaign with laundered foreign funds. You figure it out.

I explained it. It is an excuse. You had better candidates King/Saddler/Black. But Trump chose the "Fetterman" of the group.

There where three good GOP candidates in this race, Black/Saddler/King. Trump chose Walker.



More excuses and this just makes you sound like a butthurt dem

The PPL of GA could have voted for those other candidates like they did Kemp over Perdue

Stop your whining.

The money gap matters but it wouldn't have mattered much with a better candidate, frankly.

And of course a big part of the reason for the money gap is that Warnock is an incumbent. Why is that? Oh, because Trump went crazy after the 2020 election and blew the two runoff elections.

Why do yous people think Walker is a bad candidate when he's in a run-off? What makes Warnock a better or "good" candidate? I know I know TDS, but makes you look petty when you keep pushing the same GOPe/leftie talking points.

If you were really concerned about any of this you would be wondering where the libertarian vote is going, as that where this all lies. Minus all the cheating of course.

Abrams out spent Kemp, big time. Kemp smoked her, big time. 7.5 points.

It doesn't matter if you are in a runoff, it matters if you win. This race should never have been in a runoff, the R should have won on election night, as Kemp did. (The guy Trump hates the most won easily, lol.) As for Walker, the personal baggage is a bit much. Maybe find one of the many other options that does not have such baggage.

I try to vote based on policy, so I vote Republican every election. Many voters don't really vote based on policy, though. And yes, "candidate quality" is more important for us than them because the press will not scrutinize their candidates as they will our candidates.

He’s dumb, dishonest, hypocritical, and often says nonsensical things.

War nick isn’t a great candidate himself, but in a runoff where the deciding factor is usually turnout, he is at least inspiring his side to show up.

But saying a candidate is bad means he is bad compared to his opponent. Which clearly both are in the same "bad canidate" boat. Finding the best candidate is what the primaries are for. So continuing the "walker is a bad candidate" bit after that is nefarious and stupid. I would understand if Walker pushed a non-Right agenda, but he's not. People just don't like him cause he may speak slower and because Trump endorsed him.

Perhaps without realizing it, you made my point.

i.e., How badly does Abrams lose if she gets out spent? Doe she lose by 10%? 12%? Warnock is a better candidate than Abrams. Walker is doing this for the 1st time. A 2%-4% differential d/t ad spends is HUGE!
