My thoughts on that are that were i to have voted for Herschel Walker i wouldn’t be talking about it either. Those not saying will break 90% Walker. ---

Can someone explain to me how Walker managed to win the Republican primary in a landslide (more than 5 times the votes of his nearest opponent)? Sure he’s a right wing nut, but they had a whole state worth of right wing nuts to choose from, and still the decided to import this guy from Texas. ---

> [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > Can someone explain to me how Walker managed to win the Republican primary in a landslide (more than 5 times the votes of his nearest opponent)? He grew up in Georgia, and was a star football player at the University of Georgia, 40 years ago. So, high name recognition in the state. But, probably more importantly, he was endorsed by TFG. ---

Even HE claims he lives in Texas.

Because to be honest with you, this is never something I ever, ever, ever thought in my life I’d ever do,” said Walker. “And that’s the honest truth. As I was sitting in my home in Texas, I was sitting in my home in Texas, and I was seeing what was going on in this country. I was seeing what was going on in this country with how they were trying to divide people.” ---

Sure he’s a right wing nut, but they had a whole state worth of right wing nuts to choose from, and still the decided to import this guy from Texas. I’ve been looking for this answer for years now, about a whole lot of these people. “Is this really the best Republican your guys can find? Doesn’t that concern you even just a little bit?” I’ve yet to get a good answer. ---

Looking at the [Wikipedia article on the Republican primary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_United_States_Senate_election_in_Georgia#Republican_primary), his closest opponent was the state agriculture commissioner but Walker had a long list of endorsements, including Trump and a bunch of senators. ---
