If Herschel Walker does indeed prevail, it will be a testament to the power of Donald Trump’s endorsement
No, both are testament to debasement within American politics and culture.

Let me get this straight: Americans are being asked to vote for a candidate with a self-acknowledged psychiatric illness…
“…dissociative identity disorder in which his distinct identities, or “alters,” impelled him to commit violent acts against various people”
Shouldn’t they be just a little concerned that if voted into office, his condition might manifest itself in some rather awkward ways?

With Hershel and Doctor Öz (not to mention the 2021 (January) Georgia Senate runoffs (in which Democrats gained 2 seats), Trump seems to be the gift that keeps on giving (to Democrats).
I voted for Trump twice (his policies got many things done) but he keeps blowing it with his mouth and antics.
Hershel is near useless as a candidate, but the fact that he would be a reliable Republican vote is the only thing that will keep him above Warnock (who SHOULD have been easy to beat.

Most sane Republicans are worried the Trump candidates will lose badly and torpedo their chances of retaking the House and Senate. I’m more worried about the opposite. If candidates as obviously flawed as these can get elected, it will show how deep the resentment has gotten. I’m no ray of sunshine myself, but if the likes of Walker and Oz win, things are worse than even I imagined. Trump will endorse his 2024 candidacy the next day, the establishment will panic and return to their ‘threat to democracy’ propaganda and use Trump’s manifest unfitness to prolong their own rule by painting their opponents as a bunch of looneys, an image which Trump invites and magnifies to nobody’s benefit but his, locking in the current dynamic for at least two more years, and probably more, but with the volume raised a thousand percent as establishment fears of popular revolution drown out all other concerns.
