Georgia GOP Lt Guv Blames Trump For Roping Republicans Into Herschel Walker Disaster

Georgia GOP Lt Guv Blames Trump For Roping Republicans Into Herschel Walker Disaster

… … … … … …
Well first off I would say trump deserves more blame than just endorsing an abuser and confirmed liar who has a defective brain.

This is what happens when you let an idiot gain control of your party, not so much fun now, is it?

Isn’t it amazing how candid and honest Republicans can be if they speak,

  1. Anonymously; or
  2. When departing public office and no longer facing the GOP primary electorate?

Sadly that’s the case with most any politician.

I’ll go one more: they put the idiot in charge, and courted a bunch of idiots who support him. Now the four or five remaining non-idiot Republicans are discovering that playing with idiots doesn’t make anyone smarter. Who woulda thunk?

Well Duncan sounds like he gets it. Many of his fellow GOP leaders, do not. The best way for them to learn is to continually lose elections. I am tired of reading about their machiavellian plots to control our elections. If Democratic voters turn out in massively high numbers , Republicans will lose, at that point, it’s simple math.

Yup, if Walker was ahead in the polls, Duncan wouldn’t have said a thing.

It’s classic “only sorry cause I got caught” mindset. No sympathy from me.

For Duncan, the problem is not that Walker is disastrously incompetent, but that Walker is so blatantly, in-your-face disastrous, that he might lose the election for the R’s, despite all the money, excuses, and Fox fawning. Betcha Duncan is still voting for him.

Yes and no. Duncan is miffed only because Walker is such a train wreck of a candidate—not because Trump chose him.

The GQP “leaders” are concerned with only one thing—getting back into power running Congress so they can rig the system further to cement their power permanently.
They don’t give a rat’s round rear about any candidate as long as that candidate supports tier ongoing power grab.
