Plan B for Herschel...

Despite my reservations as to whether Herschel Walker has the qualifications of the Republican candidate to be the junior senator from Georgia, and if he’d be “up to the job,” I’d like to suggest another path…

Regardless as to whether he is elected or not, it seem clear that he would be the perfect candidate to fill out the Donald Trump 2024 presidential ticket. Obviously, Mr. Walker will walk behind Mr. Trump at a respectful distance, he’d know to never up-stage the top of the ticket, and he already appreciates Trumpian transactional loyalty above all.

Mr. Walker seems perfectly capable of reading Republican campaign points off a teleprompter that werewolfs are preferred to vampires (though “vampires are cool people”). Practical considerations suggest that it’s a good idea for the candidate to settle on how many kids he’s fathered, deny funding abortions (despite receipts), and continue lying about academic credentials. Bring on the fake badges!

Imagine Herschel ramping up a MAGA crowd with "… our good air decided to float over to China's bad air, so when China gets our good air, their bad air got to move… so it moves over to our good air space…” He’ll then go on to claim everything bad that happens is Joe Biden’s fault and the solution to inflation, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and renewed Covid outbreaks all converge at Hunter’s laptop. Wow! He’d have the crowd in a frenzy for the Big Man!
Trump/Walker 2024! That’s the ticket!

Hershel is just stupid, but Kari is both stupid and just downright vile. So filled with hate that she's sure to turn off even the most indifferent voter.

it would instantly be a headline over Trump's repetitious blathering about the last stolen election.
