This Herschel Walker news is a great birthday present -- All these Republicans standing by him

The best part is how worried Republican leaders are that the rank and file voters they've been gaslighting with abortion hysteria for year are going to actually expect Republican politicians to oppose abortion in their own personal lives.

Silly, rubes, Republicans never cared about abortion any more than chicken farmers want to eat chicken feed!

Next thing you know, they'll expect Ron DeSantis to reject socialism on principle when it benefits his chickens, I mean voters.

Hanging onto a nominee like Walker shows what a cult the GOP has become. If a Democrat had a messy life like Herschel's, he'd've been dogged out of the race by now. We ditch our bad apples. They hang onto them like a corporation protects its trademark icons.
