Tell your Trumpy friends that Walker is a secret Democrat trying to make all the GOP look bad by being so irresponsible and such a pathetic loser. See what happens then.

The recent issues with Walker have really exposed the GOP for who they are, though. They are going all in, and there are those who are saying, we don't care what he did, all that matters is that he is a republican and not a nasty democrat, and we need to retake the senate.
What slime. |

They didn't in the last Senate election. In fact they lost both of the last 2 Georgia US Senate elections.
You gotta love the cretins the GOP chooses to be government leaders. Let's see, they include a guy who totally lied about his military service. A carpet bagging television puppy killing grifter and a crazy ex football player who had multiple children out of wedlock and despite being anti-choice paid for abortions for his women. |

Apparently according to Newt Gingrich, it is one of his qualifications in order to be a great GQP senator along with being a christian... but he never mentioned the other qualification of being willing and grateful to imbibe all the excretions of Trump's nether regions. |

If you reall want to drive away Republicans, point out the fact that he followed through on his promise to pay for it. A real Christian conservative would have told her he would and ghost her after she gets it done.

Walker is the kind of candidate you get when your political views are shaped primarily by the things you hate.

That's pretty much the whole GQP at this point. None of them express ideas about policy or solutions. tey just tell you why "the others" are your enemy.

That might work.
Remember, the current leader of the Republicans (Stubby Mcbonespurs) is well known for NOT paying his bills. "You paid the promised amount for her abortion? A real man would have offered her pennies on the dollar,then declared bankruptcy to avoid paying anything" Sent from my moto e using Tapatalk |

I wonder if he is just basically stupid or if it's the result of all the brain injuries.
I found little on his childhood except that he was obese until about 11 or 12 and had a stutter. He did graduate high school but he was also the hero football player on the HS team. It's no secret that football is king in Georgia and I have no doubt that, as their star player, he would have 'graduated' whether he actually passed his classes or not. From Wikipedia:

Mike Erickson, the Republican running for the Senate in my state also paid for his girlfriend's abortion while proclaiming himself pro-life.

Walker is either getting really bad advice or he's not taking it. Calling the woman a liar is is just plan wrong. Say, we're all sinners. Say, it was a long time ago. Say I'm a different person. Don't call the person a liar. You're just giving the story legs if you call her a liar.
