Serious Question: Where Does The Republican Party Get Their Candidates?

the Dr. Oz guy, apparently, kills dogs.. a staunch 'pro-life' christian Herschel Walker forces women to have abortions, then pays for them.. the racist, bigoted christian sexual predator mocks disabled people and brags about grabbing women "by the pussy".. and these are just random examples I felt like typing out.

and, in a shock to absolutely nobody, the christian right doesn't care..  imagine the ad they run in "Christian Daily" when they're looking for their next president, senator, etc?    

They find people that mirror themselves.

For a while now the Republicans have been choosing minorities & women for the "main line" candidates.  In this cycle the Trump wack-a-doodle factor has also set in.

The two example you noted are both minorities & celebrities, as is their candidates for Governor in Michigan & Arizona.

For some odd reason they believe that having a minority or woman candidate gives them gravitas against their clear racist beliefs.  

Apparently, the color of the skin or the gender is more important that the racist / sexist beliefs & polices proposals that their minority candidates' campaign on.

In addition, in this cycle we have the attempt to destroy the United States of America's ideal of free and fair elections, so that the Republicans can outlaw every other political party.  Many of their lower-level candidates are saying this is what they support.  

The Republicans no longer believe in having elections, unless they chose all the people running.

After all, to parrot your beliefs, unless they have been vetted by the right-wing wacko Christian political machine the Republicans are saying they un not acceptable to be leaders.

At least it’s honest for once

So, fuck the United States, win at all costs.

That belief means the country is dead.

He's an American treasure for sure.

Let's file this one under "We don't give a Fuck about Our Beliefs, We Just Want to Win"

The Herschel Walker thing is cruel. It's hard to watch. He is clearly damaged, likely from football, and the GOP has no problem trying to exploit him for a senate seat. These other people are just stupid people who have no business being in government. With Walker, I feel like its something so much more than him being a dunce.

I'm pretty sure they get their candidates from the Batschit Crazy Farm.

Similar to all the other "celebrity" candidates they are running or have run in the last few cycles.

The football coach who is now a US Senator who didn't have a clue about the structure of the US Government comes to mind.

The polls show him within a percentage point of the sitting senator & 538 predicts it is a very close race.

Just to follow up on this, it isn't like Walkers former girlfriend doesn't have the receipts, she literally does!

Buzzfeed News wrote:The young Walker was reacting to a bombshell story published by the Daily Beast, which reported that the Republican candidate to represent Georgia, who has been running on a platform opposed to abortion rights, had urged a woman he impregnated in 2009 to get an abortion and had paid for the procedure.

The woman, whose identity the Daily Beast did not reveal, provided the outlet with a copy of a $700 check from Walker, a receipt from the abortion clinic, and a "get well" card he had signed for her.

Herschel Walker subsequently released a statement on Twitter in which he called the story a "flat-out lie" and said he would file a lawsuit against the Daily Beast on Friday morning. (A lawyer for Walker told CBS News on Tuesday they were still considering their options and had not made a final decision.)

What we really need is more pro-fish candidates like Mary Peltola in Alaska.

Came across this line in a liberal blog!

Really that was a gotcha question, however as a Law Professor you would think she would have the Bill of Rights down cold, and typically the people testifying are given the questions beforehand, public testimony is more of a TeeVee show. (and to get the answers under oath in public)

What's your take on the races in GA?

I think Kemp wins, unless polling isn’t picking up huge pockets of Dems. He’s popular with conservatives and Republicans (and swing voters) who don’t like Trump. Abrams will need a big get out the vote push (which she helped coordinate in 2020).

Ads opposing Herschel are relentless (and going to get worse).
Abortion…his ex talking about him holding a gun to her head…

Might see a runoff. I don’t see a ton of women voting for Herschel. That might be enough to swing it. If Herschel wins, that’s a bad sign for the country.

Trump picked him. It’s all on Donny if Republicans lose the Senate. There are a few conservatives who could have easily beat Warnock, in my opinion.

I happen to think that she's just really dumb..

and, she knew she was gonna be confirmed by the knuckle-scraping right. So she didn't need to prepare, didn't need to bring notes, any documents, etc.

but, yes, of course it's a show. She showed how dumb she was.. KKKavanaugh showed how much of a whiny, entitled little bitch he is. He literally started crying.

I think I saw that Warnock and super christian Herschel Walker were gonna debate?

I would be willing to bet that Walker won't follow through with that. Then he'll just go on the various mainstream media outlets to play the whiny victim, etc., complain about how mean people are to him.

Herschel committed to one debate. I can see him backing out.

Duncan would have beat Warnock. He also pissed off Trump though.

I'd be surprised if super christian Herschel shows up to the debate.  He'll probably go to church instead.

or the abortion clinic to see his girlfriend(s) and wives.

The tell will be if Trump campaigns in Georgia in the next month. He doesn't like being associated with anyone who loses. If internal polling has Herschel going down, he's not going to show up.

I think a lot of people are going to just skip over that spot on the ballot, or vote for the Libertarian candidate.

Republican talking heads are beginning to talk about holding Warnock to under 50% to force a runoff as a victory.

Don't know party affiliation, but this is disgusting all the way around...

It's amazing how often walking into a doorknob is a factor in this type of abuse.

Republican talking heads are beginning to talk about holding Warnock to under 50% to force a runoff as a victory.

Perdue (R) didn't get 50% in 2020 (49.7%). Ossoff (47.9%) then beat him in a runoff (50.6 - 49.4). Libertarian candidate had 2.3% in the regular election.

Perdue didn't have the baggage of Herschel. Even if Warnock doesn't get 50%, I can't imagine Herschel getting 50%. Negative ads will be relentless if there's a runoff. He's going to wish he never ran for office.

Woman tells New York Times Herschel Walker asked her to have second abortion

The woman who said Georgia Senate hopeful Herschel Walker paid for her 2009 abortion, setting off a controversy that has rocked his campaign, told The New York Times that the Republican nominee asked her to terminate a second pregnancy two years later.

She refused the request, and their relationship ended, she told the Times, which said it was withholding the name of the woman. Walker was unmarried at the time. Their son, she said, is now 10 years old.

This country died well before your parents were even born.

EMERSON, Ga. (AP) — Herschel Walker pitches himself as a politician who can bridge America’s racial and cultural divides because he loves everyone and overlooks differences.

“I don’t care what color you are,” Georgia’s Republican Senate nominee, who is Black, told an overwhelmingly white crowd recently in Bartow County, north of Atlanta. “This is a good place,” Walker said of the United States, “and a way we make it better is by coming together.”

Pay no attention to my violence against women or all the kids I had out of wedlock and all the abortions I paid for, Christian Voters.
