Herschel Walker vs Sen. Raphael Warnock?
That’s what Donald Trump seems to want….
And THAT IS making Republicans nervous…..
(Walker lives in Texas)
The former President’s track record down there is a losing one on several accounts ….
Former President Donald Trump’s backing of football great Herschel Walker to run for the Georgia Senate seat has been enough to effectively freeze the GOP field in place — even though some Republicans privately worry the political neophyte might fizzle against Sen. Raphael Warnock in a high-stakes general election.
Warnock, who is running for a full six-year term next year after narrowly winning his seat in a special election in January, is a top target for Republicans. And with the backing of Trump and his closest allies, who believe that Walker is uniquely able to unite a party torn apart by their 2020 losses, prospective Republican candidates are signaling they are willing to sit out until the legendary athlete makes a decision.
But the prospect that Walker could have the field to himself is causing anxiety among some Republicans in Georgia and Washington, who privately are uncertain whether the first-time candidate and Texas resident could handle the enormous challenges ahead. And they’re worried that Trump is propping up a candidate simply because he has been a loyal friend, rather than assessing the former NFL running back’s electoral viability in a pivotal battleground that could again determine the next Senate majority.
Trump’s involvement in the Georgia primary underscores both his enduring influence among the conservative base and concerns among senior Republicans that his meddling in the 2022 midterms could turn off more moderate voters whose support the GOP needs to win back power on Capitol Hill….

No need to worry Republicans Trump’s influence has completely wained says the pdog…
The fact that the guy doesn’t even have residency in Georgia right now and he is the favorite of trump and article is written that the Republican (establishment) are worried shows you how much influence this guy has…
Will it Fuck the Republicans…yeah it probably will look how he hurt them in the runoff elections…but what’s crazy it doesn’t matter if he hurts the establishment and they lose elections…they still follow the guy (the voters) and by extension most of the Republicans politicians cause if they don’t they guaranteed to lose…
This guy is the biggest king maker in the Republican Party by leaps and bound…is that good for the Republican Party, no, but he is the black hole which the entire party has to orbit around right now…
If you still don’t see it…just look at all the Republicans who have run down south to see him since he left office…you’d think Mar a Lago is the new Republican Mecca…Pray five times a day and requiring a yearly Haj…
I and the Democrats ARE counting on the stupidity of most of the Republicans that would listen and follow ‘Loser’ Trump….
The smart ones will have to suffer, eh?
But?
It seems Hawley and Greene in trying to outdo Trump are losing the support of other GOPer lawmakers IN PUBLIC
