Is Herschel Walker Worth It? - WSJ letter

(I don't think that I've read the editorial referred here)

Regarding your editorial “Why Georgia Still Matters” (Nov. 15): I voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and, holding my nose, voted for him again in 2020. After Jan. 6, I can imagine no circumstance in which I’d vote for him again. Similarly, with the Senate at stake, I voted for Herschel Walker earlier this month.

With control of the Senate lost, however, I now regard the opportunity to vote for a more qualified candidate in six years, free of Mr. Trump’s influence, as more attractive than being represented by Mr. Walker, even in a Senate supposedly more amenable to negotiation. I will be sitting at home on Dec. 6.

Please sit out all future elections in Georgia. In fact, just sit there holding your nose. You sound like an idiot.

Republicans would vote for a potted plant if it had GOP attached to it rather than the more qualified candidates. They crave power over everything else.

As you sow (shitty candidates), so shall you reap (defeat in elections).

Now he faces Warnock, one-on-one, without any other repubs to help his ballot. It also helps that control of the senate isn't dependent on this race.

Hoping Warnock blows Walker out of the water.

Now that there is no way a win by Walker would give control to the GOP, how many of them are still willing to vote for arguably the least qualified person to ever run for the Senate?
