Avoid the Herschel Highway

Herschel Walker is a politician without a thought. He doesn’t contribute any meaningful ideas or planks in the Republican party platform, which from what we can tell, is to tax them more, deny them healthcare, and keep the brown-skins out of the country. There is no excuse for the fact that HW is up on Ralph Warnock, the well-versed and capable politician who represents Georgia’s constituents right now. Consider that the man has already personally sponsored 93 pieces of legislation and has co-sponsored 396 different pieces of legislation, all of which go toward issues that improve the lives of Georgians. From the act to house survivors of major disasters (aptly named the Housing Survivors of Major Disasters act) to Senat Bill 4822 which aims to force contributors to political messaging to disclose their sources, Warnock has worked to put our democracy on a firmer foundation.

What has HW done? Not a damn thing. Talk, and not well, about issues he obviously doesn’t know anything about. And yet, he’s neck-and-neck with Warnock right now. What does that tell you? I hope it tells you the same thing it tells you when you hear that Abbott, possibly the nation’s worst governor, is beating Beto by almost ten points. People aren’t paying attention. And there’s the problem.
