In 2010, it was Christine O’Donnell, the Senate candidate from Delaware, who confirmed that she was not a witch and lost the election.
In 2012, it was Todd Akin, the Senate candidate from Missouri, who said some unusual things about abortion and lost the election.
In 2023, it’s Herschel Walker.
Why does the GOP keep nominating candidates with little if any experience or capabilities, and with screwy ideas or sayings, who lose elections that should be winnable?
GOP, a football player who paid women to have abortions is really the most qualified candidate?
Left-wing extremest, stroke-addled Democratic Party Senate candidate John Fetterman says "hi".
The difference between the Democrats and GOP is that Republican voters don't reward the GOP for running crazy candidates. The more crazy, communist, and extreme you are, the easier it is to get elected to Democrat office.

Walker is ahead, and will win in a runoff, as Ga law mandates it assuming he does not get 50% plus 1 in 10 days.
I have to point out something. The Founders never intended for there to be professional politicians. Their idea was for Joe the Farmer to run for office, serve out his term if he wins, then goes back to being a farmer.
In other words, regular folks are suppose to be running and natural selection should take over.
These GOP candidates you speak of have more in common with you and me than the professional politicians we keep voting into office.
Weird or not, we ought to let the democratic process decide if they will serve or not.
It was simple times when the constitution was written. The founders laid the groundwork but had no vision of the future. The only professional politicians are the ones who spend their whole lives in government because they keep being re elected.

I don't think that your world view is all that great either. Why do people need to be experienced to be a Senator or Congressman? Does everyone need to be a career politician? It's the greedy, selfish, out of touch career politicians who are screwing everything up. I'd rather have more candidates who are just normal people, not corrupt, paid and bought, career politicians.
The current GOP doesn't have anything but poor quality candidates. That is what drives their fixation with celebrity or faux celebrity candidates like Herschel Walker, Dr. Oz, Trump, even our cutesy local TV weatherman. They are all clueless but have recognized names in their districts or state. In some cases they have camera presence or a bit of communication sense. But that does not pass for intelligence or experience. They are good at taking direction but don't have much ability or independent thought. They latch on to one aspect of the culture wars or some local or regional issue as a one-trick pony and try to ride it into office.

Why do dems ask stupid questions?
Have you check the background of EVERY dem running for office? And those that got elected?
"As the November midterms approach, Senator Raphael Warnock's personal life has come under scrutiny as the Georgia Democrat looks to fend off a challenge from Republican challenger Herschel Walker.Allegations that Warnock ran over his wife's foot with a car in 2020 have resurfaced recently, with Walker's campaign featuring the allegations in a recent ad featuring the Senator's ex-wife.
In September, Walker, who also faces accusations of domestic violence, released an ad entitled What Else Is Warnock Hiding?"
I guess you didn't watch that Fetterman debate. Or the Biden debate. Or the Harris debate. This question is nonsensical.
