I've heard some political commentators say that Republican leaders are still supporting [View all]
Walker because "they have no other choice". That's a damned lie.
Their screwed-up party chose to run a world-class screw-up as their candidate for the US Senate and---to the surprise of virtually no sentient being---he is disintegrating before their eyes.
What choice do they have? They could say "We were wrong. Herschel Walker is not fit to sit in the Senate" and let the chips fall where they may.
When apathetic Illinois Democrats ignorantly chose radical Lyndon LaRouche-backed Mark Fairchild as their Lt. Governor candidate in 1986, they disavowed him, advocated a last-minute write-in and narrowly lost the Governor's mansion. That's what leaders of character do.
Republicans are not victims of unforeseen events. They made the wreaking bed in which they now lie and they have chosen to wallow in it rather than get up and walk away.
