The Republicans will run with "of course all black college athletic stars cheat in college" angle and make the conversation about that. Most of the deplorables believe this already.

All Herschel Walker was known for was playing football at the University of Georgia. That is all. Listenign to him, and reading some things he said tells me his grades weren't that good.

Listen to him talk. His grammar, syntax and word choices are infantile.

I'm sure many Georgian voters admire him.

(dissociative identity disorder) (check); made untrue/exaggerated claims of financial success that horrify his business partners (check); hasn't legally resided in Georgia for years (check); admits to playing Russian Roulette with a single chamber-loaded gun (check); pointed said pistol at his then wive's head and threatened to "blow her brains out" (check); threatened to kill his then ex-wife and her boyfriend (check);

Sounds like the perfect Trump-endorsed Republican to me.
