I would guess that imagining their opponents and the press had “outsmarted themselves” is a pretty constant state of affairs not just within the Herschel Walker but also within the Mehmet Oz and JD Vance campaigns. Etc., etc.
I can't laugh at this stuff any more. Walker is so obviously unfit for any position including dog catcher that he should never have gotten this far. Yet, it sure looks like he's going to win.
J.D. Vance wrote an entire book telling the people of Ohio that he thinks they're all contemptible drug-addled morons. His entire candidacy is financed by a billionaire vampire, and Vance has made it a proud campaign talking point that he doesn't even have a vague clue as to what the issues are or even might be. Yet, it sure looks like he's going to win.
Ron Johnson is demonstrably the dumbest man in the Senate, with an overt cruel streak and a campaign platform that essentially says "I will work as hard as I can to make life as horrible as possible for ALL Wisconsonites!" Yet, it sure looks like he's going to win.
We are a nation of imbeciles, and we demand that our leaders be cruel, stupid, and dumb. We're getting our wish.

There you go again, Roy. Making fun of the mentally handicapped may seem funny to you, but it's no joke.
Also lacks realism. Spoken sentence structure too close to actual English, rather than the Authentic Brain Trauma Gibberish normally spouted by the [checks notes] actual Senatorial candidate.
I've never been fortunate enough to meet Herschel, but I have known people like him who think that saying you'll do a thing is the same as doing the thing, and saying you have done a thing is the same as having done the thing. And boy, are they exhausting to deal with. "I said I'd do it, what more do you want?"
they really need to rethink that 1000 badge initial offering for the 'brain damage' badge. there's a way higher demand for them than that. MTG alone will account for a few hundred.
I, for one, would welcome a state capital populated by little mice in footie pajamas dancing on toadstools, while grasshoppers played the fiddle, and pixies blew kisses to the stars.
I'm watching a downy woodpecker out the window and ruminating (or more accurately randomnating) at the likelihood the bird would be at least as good a voter as your average Georgia republicanista. I mean, with that beak, there'd be no question of hanging chads, for one thing. And the purposeful way it goes about sorting the bugs from the bark makes me think "Yup. Knows its stuff." As opposed to...well, you get the idea.
Perhaps Georgia polling is dominated by republicanista responses, and the dems gonna blow it out. You can call me a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. There's a guy I know up in Poughkeepsie, thinks he's in Dream City.
Yet we must Very Seriously inquire if Fetterman can be a competent Senator, because he can't hear so good.
(For no reason at all I'm suddenly reminded of, who was it, HW Bush or Reagan, who'd walk to his helicopter while the press yelled questions at him and he'd just point to his ear and shake his head.)
It is very funny that any voter with an eye or two can see Republican policies are actually *changing the weather for the worse* and *killing our family members* and even so, half of us look at dementia patients like Walker, amoral cretins like Vance, and dimwits like Johnson and think: Better these guys than the Democrats [who have been objectively right on every major issue for 25 years]!!! I mean, that is fucking high comedy.

There is no bottom.
You know we're fucked when real
life seems like a story Terry Southern and Flannery O'Conner cooked up one night over too much bourbon.This whole Trump thing does, actually.
"little tiny peoples I see in my dreams ..."
This column is hilarious in a very terrifying way.
I bet the fake badges will do even better at raising funds than his campaign’s “My Mom was with Hershel” onesies and coat hangers.
I always enjoy your morning read - scary as they often are. Thanks for the chuckle.

Had me at Denteen 😂
Anyway, amused even though I shouldn't be.

I only wish most of this wasn’t out of the realm of possibility.
Sooo…
Warnock needs to start distributing “Fake Herschel “ badges: “Herschel in your uterus”, e.g.

This is satire, right? I just can't tell any more...
Take me down to Georgia City
Where Herschel Walker makes the state so shitty
Please!
Take me home!
