It’s a dumpster fire, and, of course, you know it’s the Walker campaign in Georgia, following multiple revelations: his funding of an abortion several years ago, which he fervently denies, and his failure to follow through on suing the reporting news media, finally followed by a semi-admission, and his grown and acknowledged son, Christopher, a conservative himself, repudiating his earlier support for Walker, which are merely follow-ons to Walker’s absolutist support for a national ban on abortion, his utter gibberish when it came to the Uvalde tragedy, his mendacity when it comes to being a member of law enforcement, and his inadequacies, to be polite, in regard to other national priorities.
But, having seen bits and pieces of his interview by Hugh Hewitt, a prominent conservative pundit, perhaps the worst part of this firestorm is the simple fact that he’s getting exposure that the power-holders of Georgia, the independent voters, are going to see.
What will they see?
The Senate requires members who are intelligent, articulate, and systematic in their thought processes. While Walker may be intelligent, he’s neither articulate nor particularly systematic. He comes across very poorly.
And that won’t impress independent voters who, most likely, will be aware that they bear the responsibility for selecting an excellent Senator, not an old football player eager to relives his glory days.
This exposure of his patent inadequacies, not so much as his apparent hypocrisy on abortion, may doom him.
