But there is only one problem with him winning: He sometimes talks.

Trump, who gained notoriety as a shlock tv entertainer, is dazzled by show biz celebrities, personages with a penchant for capturing headlines rather than evidencing legislative acumen.

They're certainly capturing headlines:


Herschel Walker's Son Unleashes On Him After Abortion Report: 'I'm Done'​


Herschel Walker’s son lashed out at him Monday on Twitter after the Republican U.S. Senate candidate denied a report that he paid for an ex-girlfriend’s abortion in 2009.
“Every family member of Herschel Walker asked him not to run for office, because we all knew (some of) his past. Every single one,” tweeted Christian Walker, a conservative social media personality. “He decided to give us the middle finger and air out all of his dirty laundry in public, while simultaneously lying about it. I’m done.”
He said he and his mother would appreciate it if the Georgia Republican would stop “lying and making a mockery of us.”
“You’re not a ‘family man’ when you left us to bang a bunch of women, threatened to kill us, and had us move over 6 times in 6 months running from your violence,” he wrote.


Donald Trump humiliated J.D. Vance for fun

“J.D. is kissing my ass he wants my support so bad!”
Trump said.
 
It is true for herschel but the OG is trump, he set the bar for the level of ignorance, and delusion accepted by right wingers, specially ultra-MAGA fascists....
On paper, a twice-impeached, one term POTUS, under multiple civil and criminal investigations, who was the first since Hoover to achieve the dubious hat trick of losing his Party the White House, the House, and the Senate before being dumped by the American electorate at its first opportunity, is not the ideal to be choosing nominees for the GOP.

It's akin to having a blind date with Jeffrey Dahmer, ignoring the menu, and telling the waiter,

"I'll just have whatever he's having."

 
But there is only one problem with him winning: He sometimes talks.



WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican hopes of taking control of the U.S. Senate in November could hinge on former football star Herschel Walker, a first-time candidate endorsed by Donald Trump, whose campaign appears to be lagging behind other Republicans in Georgia.

A sports legend, the 60-year-old Walker secured the Republican nomination to run for the Senate for the state in May, seeing off five contenders. Republicans hoped his popularity and name recognition would translate into victory in what is likely to be a close race.

But he has been trailing Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock in most opinion polls, his campaign rocked by repeated policy gaffes and a string of controversies about his past, including allegations of domestic violence.

Walker is one of a handful of Trump-endorsed first-time Republican Senate candidates, also including TV personality Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania and author J.D. Vance in Ohio, who even senior Republicans say are weighing on the party's changes of recapturing Senate control.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, without naming individuals, has cited "candidate quality" as a reason why Republicans may struggle to capture the Senate, putting his party's odds of winning a Senate majority at 50-50.

Analysts say Walker has made himself an easy target for political attacks, with disjointed comments on issues from COVID-19 to climate. For instance, he attacked the recently-passed $430 billion climate and drug bill on Sunday, saying a lot of the money is "going to trees" and asking, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, "Don't we have enough trees around here?"

"Every time he opens his mouth about a policy issue, it sounds like a word salad. It's very convoluted and doesn't make sense sometimes," said Trey Hood, a political science professor at the University of Georgia.

He'd just be a meat bot that votes as he is ordered to. Control of the Senate is all that matters to the repugs.
 
Uh , no .

Dr Oz was totally unqualified for the position. He did not fool the voters of Pennsylvania

But Dr Oz had a daytime TV show, what is more qualified than that?
Maybe a Heisman trophy winner from 40 years ago
