Just how historically anomalous was Herschel Walker's 2-point loss to incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) in the runoff on Tuesday? Consider these facts in light of the reality that President Joe Biden expanded Democratic control of the upper congressional chamber to a 51-49 majority.
Since World War II, the president's party has gained Senate seats in only four of those 19 midterm elections.
For the first time since the 17th Amendment, which transferred the voting power of senators directly to the people, all incumbent senators in the president's party running for reelection won.

Thle Republican National Senate Committee only acknowledges the existence of globalist, wall street establishment types willing to eat out of the trough, So the vet and present hideous people of the hedge fund class unwilling and disinterested in the intentions and concerns of populist conservatives. So we are at a loggerhead and the one guy who seems able to straighten this out is under attack.
Did DeSantis lend any of his new found popularity to help Walker, by the way>

If we accept the premise that Walker was the problem, how does the author explain the “election” of John Fetterman?

Senator-elect Fetterman won in Pennsylvania. Compared to Fetterman, Walker is a genius. Walker's grammar is not excellent, but unlike Fetterman, Walker speaks in complete sentences.

Re#3
Different state. Pennsylvania is by default a blue state, heavily unionized and has been all of my life.
Georgia has been a red state for maybe 20 years.
I live in one and grew up in the other. And yes, vote fraud has been going on in Pennsylvania since voting machines were invented.

Cheating is *a* problem, but since many other Republicans did win in November at the same time and on the same ballots, it clearly was not *the* problem.

Walker was the only statewide election in Georgia the Republicans lost. Why is that? Did Republicans vote in any other black person statewide? Please tell me this wasn't about race. If so, Abrams is going to have a field day with this.
Can Republicans be just as suicidal as Democrats in their voting choices?

7, it was -the- problem. Dirty elections are -the- problem. With such corruption how do you know who actually won what and by how much? Maybe he would've won by 10 points and the others by 15 in a clean election.
How can you know? You can't.
Summary: dirty elections are -always- -the- problem. Everything else is secondary.

Bull. The GOP was the problem and has been since the theft of the 2020 election. The democrats have run many unqualified deadheads beginning with Joe Biden and they win with no logical explanation. I could type the list at risk of cramping my fingers. Fix the voting process and you will see a new country.

Hershel was part of the big steal when traded to our Vikings for a million draft picks! I really disliked him then! Not very good at communications and pretty stuck on everything being about Hershel!

No, he wasn't the problem. The problem is that the Democrats have mastered the formula for taking over the government. They didn't care who won the statewide elections--what mattered was the Senate. The formula is smear-tactics, early voting, getting people to the polls, harvesting absentee ballots in nursing homes, directing millions to the incumbent Democrat. Warnock beat the white candidates in 2020, too. I don't think a Republican can win a contested national election anymore. And that includes the Presidency, no matter who the candidate is.

Everyone looks for a scapegoat. Sometimes the buyers just don't like what you are selling.
Re: #11 - Walker was the object of the trade, not the trader. That would be the Viking's ownership and management.

How much money did Warnock get from the DNC? How much money did the RNC provide Walker? Case closed.

The Republican turnout was apparently a 100K less than the general election turnout. Combined with the gimme and welfare crowd that inhabit the big cities and rely on the handouts from their Democrat masters AND early voting ( they must adopt it use it like the Dems ) plus harvesting it is a done deal. Oh yes, the RINOS assisted mightily in this defeat also IMHO.

So sick to death of the RINO loving neverTrump conservative media right now. These people are terrified to admit that this is all on Mitch McConnell and he is just as corrupt a cheat as Schumer ever was.

While it is true that Walker was lackluster, inarticulate, and sounding too much like a football player than a statesman, the election was rigged from the beginning. That said, other politicians who did win with almost zero political experience behind them, were far more articulate. Sometimes, much as I like Mr. Everyday Guys and Gals, some pols are dumb as rocks. To wit, Eric Swalwell, Maxine, Sheila Jackson Lee, AOC, Kamala, and Joe Biden.

B.S. Was Fetterman the problem in Pennsylvania? Or Hochul in New York? Why is it that the Republican candidate at all times must be blame free, pristine and superbly qualified. And the 'Rats can drag any piece of garbage over the line?? Ballot harvesting, fraudulent counting and co-opted judges - that is why. Don't insult my intelligence by implying anything else!

Herschel was not the problem. dim-0s had zombie true believers on the ground, collecting ballots. Votes dont matter, candidates dont matter and the issues dont matter. Only ballots. dim-0s KNEW they were going to come out on top because they had their ballots piled up long before election day. quid pro joe even led the charge about election deniers, cause he knew that they had an insurmountable number of ballots already on hand.

Hours of video streams of Georgia oligarch funded ballot drop boxes stuffed with ballots by cell phone carrying fascists and NOT ONE ARREST? The law enforcers in Georgia are either inept, incompetent, corrupt or ALL THREE!

What a hit job. Just another sick pathetic democrat running her mouth to destroy a man who lost an election. But wait, it's ok for John Fetterman to win in Pa. It's ok for a man, who after a severe stroke, can't put two coherent sentences together and has a brain that can't function as it normally should. Yet, this man will represent Pa. in the senate. What has happened to this country. Appalling. Got it.

Besides cheating being the problem in Georgia (like the demonrat counties calling in their votes LAST to see how many votes were needed), Charlie Kirk yesterday gave another reason. Charlie said 500,000 voters said they would not vote. Don't know where he received this info, but it's out there.
Why wouldn't the Georgia voters want to vote? Didn't they trust the voting machines or did what happened in Arizona make them reluctant to go and vote? Something has to be done to bring back trust in our elections, or elections will be just sham elections.

I finally figured out how the democrats stuck it to Hershel...they dug up an old girlfriend and paid her plenty to make up lies...and then Hershel had to deal with the angry black women base that were angry that in his success he chose to date a white woman...and that's something angry black women can not abide...same thing happened with Justice Clarence Thomas when he chose a white wife...he was called an Uncle Tom ...the angry black women of Georgia got what they wanted...now they are stuck with a vicious white hating senator....

The one thing becoming more and more prevalent with the Right wing media is the narratives that in one form or another its always the Rights fault for losing.
It is the Right does not canvas, the Right does not vote harvest where its legal, the Right keeps selecting weak candidates etc... and go as far out of the way as possible to avoid even hinting at possible democrat cheating.
So much so it is becoming quite clear they are as controlled as the Left media and likely by the very same people.

Let's not kid ourselves. A filibuster proof (60 votes) GOP majority is not the same as a 60 vote Dem lock-step majority. We always get the squishes. That's part of the reason we have $30 trillion in debt.
A 51-49 Dem majority is basically equivalent to a GOP 70-30 Senate majority. They get stuff done by hook or by crook. We win the House and then immediately give them a big spending bill and vote for a showboat easily overturned Gay Marriage Act.

No, WE. The pubbies failing to harvest and cure ballots, refusing to properly fund their candidates, (with special thanks to Turtle), and failing to manipulate election law in their favor is why Herschel lost.
