THEY DON'T CARE: Herschel Walker isn't a man to the GOP. He's a device.

He's a reliable vote for whatever Republican idea, policy, or judge comes onto the Senate floor. Nothing more. Nothing less. They don't want nor expect him to do anything more than toe the party line. They don't care.

Football is a veritable religion down south.

Find some "hero" connected to football and have them immerse themselves in the political arenas of Washington DC.

Pay no attention to their qualifications to fill a powerful political position. Name recognition and their football "hero" status is all that is required.

Empty headed football "heros" such as Herschel Walker and Tommy Tuberville are prime examples of the ReTHUG Party's - new Southern Football Hero Strategy - to regain majority party control of the US Senate.

Fuck qualifications to do the job, that's a Libs concern.

Like Alabama’s Tommy Tuberville, Walker hasn’t the first clue how to do the job of US Senator. He will do and say and vote like he is told. If there is any justice in this world, with one major exception: Walker does not win.

This won't hurt Walker any more than the Access Hollywood tape hurt TFG.

Walker is never going to submit a bill, or whip votes.

He's there to vote against Biden.
