The idea that thousands of "concerned christians" will vote for someone they claim to believe has committed murder for hire is glorious in pushing that religion to extinction. Probably not a surprise but that is all I get out of this broken man.
I'm still miffed that no prominent Georgia conservative saw fit to run for the Senate seat. Someone with name recognition and integrity would have been a shoo-in for election. The only conclusion I can reach is that conservatives really aren't good at (or interested in) politics. They generally are individualists who do things their way. Most elected Republicans are career politicians - shape shifters who adjust and squirm and wiggle and contort to the extent necessary to gain a majority of the votes. Pretty much the same as most elected democrats who play to a different audience.
I will vote for Walker simply because I believe the results will be better if he is elected. There would be one more obstacle to the current administration's harmful agenda.
With regard to Trump, it's clear he is not likely to lead the Republican party to victory in the next presidential election. There are few Republicans who have wide appeal among independents and who can turn out Republican voters. It's time to start putting them (instead of Trump) in the limelight.

Parties can do due diligence all they want, but if their chosen candidate is knocked out during the primary then the blame for bad candidates then falls on the primary voters.
I wonder when principled conservatives will start to treat the Trumpist/MAGA group as the cancer they are, and start taking action to deal with them via excision or "chemo" (vote for the non-MAGA candidate whomever they are).

I don't agree with how James Carville said this (as it's off-putting), but there's likely more than a grain of truth in it: https://www.newsweek.com/herschel-walker-dr-mehmet-oz-november-primaries-james-carville-stupid-people-1748996
Regarding Walker: I think Dana Loesch really helps show the cynicism and naked desire for power at play in the GOP. https://twitter.com/DLoesch/status/1577348109704871960?s=20&t=UOJx3sguNeiqWQRQ-RiafQ
