1. Worse, how can so many people think someone that obtuse should be their candidate?

[Ferrets are Cool]

9. Those people would vote for a rock with an R written on it with a sharpee

IF it meant keeping a Democrat from being in office.

[superpatriotman]

2. I would argue that his intelligence is about average

As is the intelligence of his constituents and much of gqp country.

3. A kneaded eraser could outthink Walker

[blue neen]

4. Obviously, Herschel has been getting a little coaching with his talking points.

You can practically see his brain pivot.

[CatWoman]

8. I remember him debating Kelly Loeffler

she had the same look on her face.

[blue neen]

13. I don't doubt that!

They turn their answers over to what they've been taught to say.

[SergeStorms]

5. You're the one.....

who brought the subject up, asshat.

There's no way to defend the indefensible.

6. This is who the republican controllers want to be elected. always have.

Like Putin they like the dumb fucks smiling away in a suit.

[Iris]

20. Yep. They won't allow the press into their fundraisers because they don't want a record of their

attendance. But they want their puppet in place and will pay a lot to get that.

[LeftinOH]

7. The crowds of older white goobers who applaud him are super creepy;

it's as if Herschel is putting on a performance for their entertainment. Actually, he is.

[Iris]

21. Yes. It's extremely disturbing

[Solly Mack]

10. Do what I do. Fill in the blanks with Walker must be huffing aerosol products from China and then

his remarks make sense in a limited context.

He huffs the "bad air" aerosol products made in China and then makes crazy comments while high.

And since huffing can lead to brain damage...

[3catwoman3]

11. There really is...

…no there there. None at all. If breathing required thinking, he’s be in big trouble.

[ellie]

12. Me, too

I think he is being taken advantage of.

[Iris]

22. Agree totally. And it makes me ill

[Marcuse]

14. N/T

[Mr. Ected]

15. Imagine him debating a qualified candidate

Imagine how the debacle would be reported the next day.

FOX would fawn all over him, saying his command of the material overwhelmed and confused the liberal.

CNN would report that both candidates made gestures and emitted sounds from their mouths.

Chuck Todd would concede that Walker was in way over his head, but still thought he won the debate and extended his lead in the polls.

16. I think he's got CTE, the brain damage that pro football players sometimes end up with,

and he's being taken advantage of. His family really ought to find a nice assisted living place for him, since it won't be getting better. The depressing thing is that so many people think this unfortunate, damaged person should be a U.S. Senator.

[H2O Man]

17. I agree.

My older brother suffered from that due to his boxing career. I used to discuss it with my cousin Jim, who was the head of neurological studies at Temple U. It is a sad path, and it is disgusting that the republican party would exploit this guy.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

25. He surely has CTE

It explains a lot.

People should not vote for the brain damaged, But TFG got 80 million idiots, Georgia you know better and have no excuse the other candidate is awesome and a reverend.

[PJMcK]

18. Walker is an idiot

I don't care if his mental problems are the result of football hits to his head (CTE) or if there are deeper more fundamental issues with his brain.

The truth is, he's incapable of a coherent sentence. His thought processes, as exhibited by his public comments, are seriously deficient.

His family and/or friends should intervene and get Walker the help he so obviously needs.

In the end, he's still and idiot and so are any Georgians who vote for him.

19. My cerebral cortex would vapor-lock....

...if I tried to utter something that weapons-grade stoopid. GEEE-min-ee!

[Caliman73]

23. Hershel Walker himself doesn't depress me...

He could be just another addled former football player and just be there.

The fact that one of the major political parties in the US has selected him as their candidate, AND more importantly, that he is a VIABLE candidate with a chance to become a US Senator, that is what depresses me.

24. Take football from quarterback

Run fast
