It’s still a year out, but Hershel Walker leads all coiners in Georgia after getting Donald Trump’s blessing…..
The poll linked below IS from Walker’s people and has small sampling size and big error margin.
Walker will have some serious personal headwinds to deal with in the race….
(Read the ENTIRE linked piece)
The new survey from OnMessage Inc., a Republican political consulting firm, shows 61 percent of self-described moderate Republican voters are backing Walker, compared to 81 percent of conservatives. Among all GOP primary voters, 74 percent said they would vote for Walker, compared to 6 percent for his closest rival, Gary Black, and 16 percent who remain undecided.
Results from the poll, conducted Oct. 11-14, shows the primary electorate had coalesced around Walker before Senate GOP leaders changed course and publicly offered their support last week — endorsements that also followed news of Walker’s $3.7 million third-quarter fundraising haul.
The survey, commissioned by pro-Walker super PAC 34N22 Leadership, is based on responses from 400 likely Republican primary voters and has a margin of error of 4.9 percent.
Republicans can’t afford a messy primary fight that could weaken their prospects of winning back the seat currently held by Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, who along with Sen. Jon Ossoff won the swing state in a January runoff that gave Democrats the majority.
McConnell, who hasn’t yet endorsed in any other open primaries, called Walker “the only one who can unite the party, defeat Senator Warnock, and help us take back the Senate.”….
No surprise to this.
Donald Trump gave the order.
What I like is these so called “moderate” Republicans.Who the Hell are they?A few old geezers who think maybe the invasion of the Capitol by these Republican hoodlums and thugs “maybe” wasn’t a good idea?”Moderates for a goofball like Walker?What a damn joke!
Many of the rank and file undecideds may drift towards Black, the three term AG Commissioner who outpolled Governor Kemp by 3% last go around. But that’s only good for a quarter of the Primary vote.
Even in a potentially rough midterm for Democrats in a knife edge state like Georgia, Walker would be quite a weak candidate. And unlike Governor McAuliffe in VA, Senator Warnock actually inspires base and swing voters.
Walker WILL BE a politically target rich environment …..
