Republicans Deploy The Buddy System To Save Herschel Walker

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

MACON, Ga. ― When Herschel Walker participates in nationally televised interviews, he’s often joined by one or two Republican senators who get as much ― and occasionally even more ― speaking time as the candidate who’s actually running for the U.S. Senate in Georgia.

Sometimes it seems like Walker can barely get a word in as loquacious GOP senators like Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Ted Cruz (Texas) and Rick Scott (Fla.) dominate the interview, which is almost always conducted by friendly hosts on Fox News, about the latest in the Georgia Senate race, which is facing a Tuesday runoff.

Since October, Walker has appeared on Fox News with help from a GOP senator at least four times. Both Graham and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) appeared with Walker at a “town hall” hosted by Sean Hannity on Oct. 3. The joint appearances have continued during the runoff stage. Graham appeared alongside him on Nov. 11, and Cruz and Graham flanked him on Nov. 22.

The Hannity appearance demonstrates how the other senators can overshadow Walker. Hannity addressed the first question to Graham, who delivered a minute-long answer that mostly functioned as a pitch for conservative viewers to donate to Walker’s campaign. The second question, with a lengthy lead-up from Hannity, was aimed at Cruz. The Texan spoke for another minute. Hannity then spoke about the importance of Georgia’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp, backing Walker, and finally he asked Walker about its value.

1. It's a kind of "Weekend at Bernie's" situation now.

Graham and Cruz are just dragging Walker's body around trying to pretend he's not brain-dead.

3. LOL

Maybe Ted could take him on vacation to Cancun...

2. They should have found a doppelganger, with a functioning brain, months ago.

I hope last few days of grasping at straws doesn't save the man.

Surely the People of Georgia will say, "It was all a joke" come Tuesday.

4. The Fascists are displaying Herschel,..

... in the vegistative state of a humanoid.

Shut up don't talk,.. just smile a lot and look pretty.

We will do all the talking for you,.. lest you say something really incoherent, irrational, +/or stupid.

5. How can he be a Senator if he can't do a softball interview?

Are they going to run his staff, make sure he understands the bills? Cough or clear their throats when he goes on a vampire v. werewolf tirade on the Senate floor?

I assume they will just tell him how to vote.

6. Would any of us thought, even five years ago.....

that someone as grotesquely unqualified as Herschel Walker was in danger of becoming a U.S. Senator?

The times we are living in boggle the mind.

7. Hershel's buddies are his fluffers

8. Graham, Cruz and Scott aren't all that great with words and speeches, either

especially not when compared to President Obama, or even Senator Warnock.

The fact that Cruz, the most hated man in the senate, is there, is telling.
