(1,967 posts)This was in 1966, I was working on a construction job. As a favor to someone, the company hired a punch drunk prize fighter to toss trash into the flatbed truck. An important job, actually, keeping the job site safe.
But every time the truck backed up, the warning bell would ring and the fighter would come up swinging. They had to let him go the second day before he injured himself or someone else.

(35,622 posts)this guy was so brain damaged that he misinterpreted the warning bell and thought he was back in the ring?
If so, it's even sadder that we let humans mess up their brains in a sport. It's well known about football concussions and maybe that's what is wrong with Walker, too.
It kinda' sounds like Walker has been like this for quite a while.

(13,471 posts)no way this person should be a senator let alone near D.C. He makes no sense.

I can't believe he's one sane, actually coherent, intelligent, responsible person away from winning the runoff.
Georgia! Com'on! You can't let this moron represent you in the Senate.
Vote Warnock!

When that one lady said, "Not only does he not make any sense, I'm not even sure what he thinks he's saying!" I was
I REALLY hope Walker loses by a WIDE margin, not just a couple percentage points. I mean, I'll take a win any way we can get it, but the bigger the lead the better.

(under the proviso that his fellow bar patrons understand what he is shouting)...
Otherwise, the words "perfectly qualified" do not belong in the same sentence with his name,
no matter what the context....

(4,312 posts)It gave Walker the opportunity to continue spouting his "verbal gems" for another month,
and be the 'only game in town' while he does it...
I would have never predicted, that I would look to Republican senate candidates
to educate me on vampires and werewolves...
but he is now my go-to man!
Sorry, Warren Zevon and classic movies--- Walker is my werewolf expert now!!!
LMAO
But for instruction on the use and wisdom of condoms, I will go elsewhere...

(2,710 posts)Seems like those of us Warnock supporters who live in Georgia or know anyone in Georgia could email a link to friends and help spread it.
At Almost 2.25 minutes, I doubt it will be aired on TV.
I looked and can't find anything but the Twitter video. Can't be shared easily outside Twitter. Us grassroots activist-types could help!

(58,785 posts)I'm not so crazy about Lincoln Project telling viewers that Walker's statements -- extremely well crafted by expert RW political manipulators -- don't make sense. LPers are also expert RW political manipulators, and they know that's not true.
The rhetoric Walker delivers -- competently -- is intended to amp up all the MAGA fears and resentments. It refers to all the pertinent RW deceit narratives, and dogwhistles all the racist nastiness their voters like to think isn't a big motivator. Note that that first "vampire" clip is all about white racism against Reverend Warnock! -- be very afraid of the satanic BLACK MENACE. Good trick for a black candidate to pull off against another black candidate, this one a Baptist minister!, but I thought it worked.
Of course I hope their technique works on those they're trying to influence against what the GOP's running these days. Some RW Georgians did ticket-split against Walker, but will they and others go to the polls mainly to vote against him?
