Now sis...

Delivered vaccines, which they won't take. What ridiculous logic.

When did Loeffler say she wouldn’t take the vaccine?

You must be thinking of her sister who wears trucker hats, plaid shirts, and jeans, Shelley Loeffler. This is the rich-af socialite Kelly.

Imagine if he used this line when he was campaigning at the Jewish event a few days ago.

[Brittain33]

Just once, I’d like to hear a conservative acknowledge Walker wouldn’t be in this jam if he’d just kept his legs closed.

[Brittain33]

Holy cow, the same story happened to both John Lewis and Herschel Walker

Apologies for quoting Brooklyn Dad Defiant, I just wanted the video

[Brittain33]

Do you really think a klansman came up to Herschel Walker and said he was wrong because of Herschel? Does that make sense? Note that John Lewis was from a different generation and was admired across the aisle. Walker… isn’t.

I seem to remember Republicans thinking this was a firing offense for U.S. Senators. What nickname will Trump give Walker?

[Brittain33]

Herschel Walker: "The healthcare that you get is the healthcare that you do if you are take the insulin, but take the insulin if you eat right, because Georgia has the abortions that we don't shouldn't be having and that's why we have all this inflation."

DT, Green Line and DTC:  "Haha cry more libs"

Again, the media is painting this as a win for Walker. For people that didn't watch the debate, it will influence them.

That is good for Walker unless another kid pops out or abortion scandal happens before Election Day.

[Brittain33]

I think Republicans are mistaking the relief they feel, in that they’ve convinced themselves it’s right and worthy to vote for this dumpster fire of a candidate, will carry over onto the median voter who isn’t solely motivated by ensuring Republican control of the Senate. I mean, maybe there are really undecided voters who saw the debate and forgot all the reasons Walker’s an absurd candidate who attacks his wives and has serious brain damage? But you can’t prove that this is happening by Republicans taking their own temperature and each other’s and swooning over the results.

[Brittain33]

I was genuinely thrilled by Kerry’s debate performance in 2004, not to mention Hillary’s in 2016. And they genuinely had good debate performances, it wasn’t just that they didn’t drool and babble on stage worse than usual.

[Brittain33]

I moved from supporting nobody to supporting Walker after this debate.

I genuinely don’t know how this debate could improve your opinion of Walker, can you please elaborate?

I can understand if it didn’t change your opinion, or if you were supporting him before and continue to do so, but to go from undecided to pro-Walker? How?

DTC is a crazy person, that's how.

To me, what is crazy is completely ignoring how big of an issue inflation is in this country. One of the biggest reasons why I voted for Joe Biden is democrats have traditionally had a better record on inflation, and Trump contributed a lot to the national debt. But the second Joe Biden came into office, he implemented many policies that contributed to inflation an exacerbated it, such as the American Rescue Plan, the rent moratorium, expanded unemployment, $400 billion student loan debt removal, among other poorly thought out policies. But I suppose looking good in your circle is more important than being able to afford basic goods and services.

What are Republicans going to do to alleviate inflation?

Keystone XL pipeline, tax cuts to top brackets

Walker accuses Warnock of sexual assault in what sounds like a clumsy way to hold him responsible as a leader at some place where it happened.

They really don't think it's an embarrassing look for him to be chaperoned on every TV hit he now does?

It's less embarrassing than what he would do without the chaperones.

And here's a new piece of bad news for Walker:

Republican Herschel Walker is getting a tax break intended only for a primary residence this year on his home in the Dallas, Texas, area, despite running for Senate in Georgia.

Publicly available tax records reviewed by CNN’s KFile show Walker is listed to get a homestead tax exemption in Texas in 2022, saving the Senate candidate approximately $1,500 and potentially running afoul of both Texas tax rules and some Georgia rules on establishing residency for the purpose of voting or running for office.

Walker registered to vote in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2021 after living in Texas for two decades and voting infrequently. In Texas, homeowner regulations say you can only take the exemption on your “principal residence.”

https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/23/politics/kfile-herschel-walker-texas-tax-break-georgia-runoff

He probably didn't file the paperwork when he changed his principal residence. I doubt this one was done with fraudulent intent. One would think his campaign staff would vet things like this. Walker has to be the most incompetent Senate candidate of the season, with Blake Masters the weirdest.

True but if he actually intended to commit to Georgia, why keep a house in Texas at all? It’s not for the natural beauty or cultural events. Most likely he still has the house, enabling this issue to come up, because he’s moving back if he loses.

Those 18-29 #s wow.

College kids before they head back after Thanksgiving break?

[Brittain33]

MS’s governing population is never going to let the state turn blue through gradual demographic change. It’s not going to happen.

[Brittain33]

1,148,191 total EV

53.9% white
33.2% black
1.5% hispanic
1.7% asian
0.2% Native American
9.4% other

Someone on Twitter described Warnock’s AA turnout as “cratering” because it fell from 50+% to 30%.

Anti-Walker attack ad to air during the SEC football championship game between LSU and Georgia:

AJC story

I have a bad feeling that running an ad showing that Walker's paramours were white women was done thinking that this might have an additional suppressive effect on the core Republican base. "I met Harold at the Playboy Mansion!"

[Brittain33]

Warnock will win by 10+ Points. The Question is when will the Race be called. My guess between 8 and 9pm ET!

This is the only time I can ever recall seeing you make a prediction that is more Dem friendly than the conventional wisdom.

Why now?

Is it because you have dumped Trump for DeSantis and you figure if Walker loses badly it will reflect poorly on Trump and ultimately help DeSantis?

He wants to own the libs by pretending Warnock underperforms.

[Brittain33]

This race may be over before the needle awakens

[Brittain33]

Clear story of rural stasis but we need to see a complete county in a metro area to get a sense of what’s really happening statewide.

[Brittain33]

Needle is drunk. Expect it to be taken offline soon.

[Brittain33]

Needle up to Warnock+1.8.

Look at the margin shifts on the bottom map. I think they have data problems.

Look at the margin shifts on the bottom map. I think they have data problems.

Nevermind, i think they just scaled up the arrow sizes

[Brittain33]

Anyone else genuinely gonna miss Walker? Maybe he'll start a podcast so we can hear his pearls of wisdom daily.

Walker could be his own true crime podcast.

[Brittain33]

Richmond county, home of Columbus, goes from Warnock +38 to Warnock +40.

Richmond is Augusta
