I wonder how Walker is going to feel starting tomorrow when none of his new Republican “friends” returns any of his calls? Will he ever understand how he was used? ---

Expecting him to have the self-awareness of Mr Garrison from _South Park_ is pushing it. ---

Herschel Walker’s entire career has been to be the play thing of rich white men, and he has parlayed this to a $40 million fortune. He was played, and he played. It’s a complicated world. ---

> [@kenobi\_65](#): > > By next week, Walker will be on Trump’s “I don’t know the guy” list. Trump did say if they won he got all the credit and if they lost it was their fault. I’d say Walker shouldn’t be surprised, but I think Walker gets surprised by a lot of things. ---

> [@enipla](#): > > While he may have been a good running back, running into a brick wall again, and again can not do much for your brain. There’s definitely something wrong with him other than his lying and stupidity. I wondered upthread whether there was talk of him having TBI. Just the way he walks/moves and speaks makes it look like something is physically wrong with him. ---

Has he moved out of Georgia yet? He will need to be back in that Texas principal residence soon or lose his tax exemption. I wondered about Oz too. No news after the loss. ---

I’d say Walker shouldn’t be surprised, but I think Walker gets surprised by a lot of things. Sadly, he’s right about this one. All the shit from Walker and his opponent still just squeaked by. If Walker had stuck to the script, which I imagine meant talking a lot less, he would have won heartily. ---

If Walker had what it takes to be a US Senator, then he should be able to handle The Herschel Walker Show on Fox. “An hour of news and the kind of opinions only Herschel can deliver! You won’t want to miss it!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/herschel-walker-need-i-say-more/972861.md?page=21) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/herschel-walker-need-i-say-more/972861.md?page=23)
