Wrong! Hillary was not as good a candidate as Trump but she definitely would have been a way better president. As far as candidates go, winning candidates are the better candidate, but not necessarily the best office holders. Now, do you see?
It is obvious that JBB did not unwittingly admit anything. He stated outright that he believes Trump was a better candidate than Hillary and then went on to explain his position. And his English was quite clear.
I'm incredulous that about half the voters in Georgia would vote for a brainless football player to represent them in the Senate. No wonder I've seen complaints that America's education system has so greatly declined, with so few people able to think critically. Sports heroes outclass geniuses - no wonder our whole world is turning to shit. I truly fear for my grandchildren's wellbeing.

Agreed.

Well at least they're being given the choice between a "brainless football player" and a "hypocritical reverend" huh? Some places there might not be a choice....
No, just one of them. Vice President Harris can break ties...
But, the Democratic Senate can still block any gop nonsense the gop House passes without any gop votes in the Senate and even if one Democrat votes with the gop, unlike before!
Sure, but it remains interesting that with the less-than-spectacular performance of the D party and being the party in power for the midterms, that the GoP won only a slim majority in the House and actually went from 50:50 (power-sharing protocol) to 51:49 (minority protocol) in the Senate.
One can only hope that the GoP is collectively waking up from its Trump-induced fantasy.
Except, you said that Democrats had to have both votes in your false comment #16.1.3 above. That was absolutely WRONGO! Democrats now only need one of their votes. Before the 2022 midterm elections Democrats needed both, but not anymore!
Not True! 2nd grade math proves that prior to the 2022 midterm elections in a 50-50 Senate Democrats needed both Senators Manchin's and Senator Sinema's votes to prevail. But now the Democrats only need one of those two votes in a 51-49 Senate to force VP Harris into casting her tiebreaking vote! Thus once again, your outrageous dishonest wrongheaded bluster has FAILED!
Your comment #16.1.3 was dead wrong and everyone can see it!
If you ever admit you were wrong when you are proven wrong that would be real change. And, 51 votes versus 49 votes is a two votes margin. Where as, 50 versus 50 was not? Admit It!
No, before now if either Manafort or Sinema voted with the gop Democrats lost. Now one can defect and Democrats still win because of Harris' tiebreaking vote. This is just MATH!
Your assertions otherwise are still available for all to see ^^^!
He was selected as an editor of the Harvard Law Review at the end of his first year, president of the journal in his second year, and research assistant to the constitutional scholar Laurence Tribe while at Harvard for two years. Obama graduated from Harvard Law in 1991 with a Juris Doctor magna cum laude .
In 1991, Obama accepted a two-year position as Visiting Law and Government Fellow at the University of Chicago Law School to work on his first book. He then taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years, first as a lecturer from 1992 to 1996, and then as a senior lecturer from 1996 to 2004.
Seeing Senator Warnock elected again and also having a Jewish senator is a real change for me. In 1959 I was stationed at Ft. Benning GA, outside of Columbus GA. The klan was still powerful and segregation was the order of the day. One day three of us, A creole, a black, and an Indian went to the USO club in Columbus and we were refused entry and told to go to our own USO club. Everything else, restaurants, schools etc you could kinda see but a USO club was the ultimate insult.
When you are my age seeing what has transpired over the years is a real mind-bender. I look back and also remember that the Trail of Tears started in GA.
As a kid, there were signs that read, ''No Dogs or Indians'' stores, schools, and restaurants were all segregated for us and that was in a northern state. I went from that to signs in the south that read ''White Only''....It's interesting to realize that I lived that history, probably not something that most alive today can say.
Tell it. I want to read about it. Because its YOUR truth! I am so glad to 'hear' your heart in this comment. You will always have my support and I will have your back again anybody who tries to go negative about the topic! And no; it don't have to be spectacular or even a multiplicity of violence, degradation, or longings. . . we just need context and reflection on how good it is when diversity and inclusiveness is allowed to flourish and proliferate!
Kavika, you are so right about the greater number of us (here), simply not knowing about some of the 'dirty' that felt so wrong for so long under the guise (pretense) of not knowing any better or national "growing pains."
Recently, I was stunned (and it was impressed on me) to discover that most of us only see this world through the lens of near or actual generations beyond our own time on this planet. We really need to understand what it is about our world that keeps repeating, because few take the past to heart. . . and listen to what is saying. . . so we can break (all of us -whites included) the 'chains' on our minds and our society!
And it goes without saying, though I will, write about the good memories across racial lines too that make you the Kavika I consider a warm, personable man, today even across great distance!
Senator Warnock is already well ahead of Hershel Walker...
NBC called the election for warnock about 10:30 EST.
walker throws in the towel...
With 33% reporting Warnock leads by over 100,000 votes. 56 to 43%
Apparently Sen McConnell was right, candidates matter.
More like, Donald Trump's endorsement is political poison...
Walker has to be the worst candidate ever...and people still voted for him...just...wow.
Fetterman would like a word... Just one.. It'd be a step up.
Except, Fetterman won...
I bet Fetterman isn't talking about werewolves and vampires while writing checks for abortions.
I guess if your entire frame of reference is "did my party win?" than sure.
Lol. Those things should keep you from being in Senate...
Agreed! Walker has no business being in congress. Great, FANTASTIC football player but that's his limit.
Winning makes Fetterman a better candidate than Walker!
Now he can defend himself legally as three of his charities are under fire
for, like Bannon's wall and Trump Charities, not actually doing the charitable
works for children and veterans in need.
Still not ready for Prime Time.
So, winning is not better than losing? Fine, keep on losing...
Wrong! Hillary was not as good a candidate as Trump but she definitely would have been a way better president. As far as candidates go, winning candidates are the better candidate, but not necessarily the best office holders. Now, do you see?
It is obvious that JBB did not unwittingly admit anything. He stated outright that he believes Trump was a better candidate than Hillary and then went on to explain his position. And his English was quite clear.
Endless intellectual dishonesty ...
Be honest.
Are you having a bad day with the Trump Organization being convicted of seventeen counts of fraud and Walker losing?
did I just read you telling him to be honest?

oh c'mon Sandy that was the best part of my comment
Football is more popular than religion in Georgia.
Since 1892 when Chas Herly started the football program.
Vince Dooley's first National Championship,
Uga the (many) mascots,
Larry Munson the most biased radio announcer of all time
and Herschel Walker, native Son, holder of so many records and a Heisman Trophy winner.
One of the few things Georgians cling to more than the Red & Black Army
is Georgia's long held reputation of the State Government with legendary
corruption over 200 years,
They just don't expect much from politicians and political appointees.
Many of them probably feel Herschel's earned an honorary appointment.
Now he's ranting about pronouns in the military...sad.
Either way they will get what they deserve, the question is, will the rest of us?
I had forgotten that part...
Of course not.
A day ago he said he didn't know what a pronoun was.
Butt he knows what to do if someone misses a period...
/S
... a check and a get well card.
One of my best friends is a Georgia fan. Don;t mess with her when Georgia is playing.
It's a Georgia thing.
Meet Hank Thompson:
(The fun part starts at about 1:20)
With 62% reporting Walker has pulled into a slight lead 51% the 49%!
Holding at about a 58,000 lead for Warnock with 99% of the votes tallied.
Fulton county will sandbag this till about 10PM EST
then stretch it out till the wee hours of the morning.
It will probably leave Walker with another concussion.
With 75% reporting Walker's lead has been cut to 50.1% the 49.9%.
With 79% of the vote in, Warnock is now in the lead with 50.1% of the vote.
This election is ludicrous. One of the worst senatorial candidates in US history has a chance to win with 85% of the vote in.
[deleted]
They would vote for Uga if he had a (R) after his name.
I would vote for that dog over Walker
With 83% reporting Warnock now leads by a slim 50.2% to 49.8%...
With 90% of the vote in Warnock lead Walker by 50.2% to 49.8%...
I'm incredulous that about half the voters in Georgia would vote for a brainless football player to represent them in the Senate. No wonder I've seen complaints that America's education system has so greatly declined, with so few people able to think critically.

Agreed.
Well at least they're being given the choice between a "brainless football player" and a "hypocritical reverend" huh? Some places there might not be a choice....
It's the absolute choice of Georgians to pick the lesser of two evils
according to their beliefs,
If nothing else this vote proved that Georgians don't find Walker's attitudes
about abortion a deal breaker.
You could say they very narrowly chose common sense over football
barely.
LOOKS like Warnock has it locked up. Most of the out standing ballots are from Dem areas. Ain't over till Sarah Huckabee Sanders sings though.
dear god no....
MSNBC just announced the projected winner is Senator Raphael Warnock.
10:23 PM
The good news is Warnock is the winner. The bad news is almost half the people in Georgia voted for an idiot.
This says nothing good about the American people.
Exactly, it says that our politics is ever more frequently offering unqualified candidates on both tickets.
There are lots of idiots in Georgia.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is their queen.
Maybe of Georgia's 14th congressional district.
Thankfully, Manchin and Sinema have been put in their place by the voters of Georgia. Wasn't that supposed to be Jim Crow 2.0?
Translation please ?
What do you mean? Everything seems legible and in english....
I get it now, Manchin and Sinema won't have the same influence.
No, just one of them. Vice President Harris can break ties...
But, the Democratic Senate can still block any gop nonsense the gop House passes without any gop votes in the Senate and even if one Democrat votes with the gop, unlike before!

How in the hell did Manafort get to vote in the Senate. I think you meant Manchin
Save your breath. You could make him look at the sky and tell him it's blue but he would call it yellow
Manchin. Is it okay now for me to be pickaune about you?
You knew my intention! Right?
Should be evident by my response "I think you meant Manchin".
I know and it is not like we all cannot scroll up to comment #16.1.3 and see for ourselves. Can you imagine? Cringy!
The spirit of Uga?
Which one? I think they're up to Uga 15 now, aren't they?
Will Walker concede before there's a full moon?
I think god is trying to tell him something...
Walker showed the class one should expect from a USA political candidate. The polar opposite of Trump and his minions.
Walker only showed class by conceding. Other than that, not!
That is what I was talking about. Give credit where credit is due.
He conceded like an adult and spoke positively of the USA, its system and the people.
I agree, Walker showed more grace in losing than in running...
"I will put my resume up against Obama's any day" - Hershel Walker
Okay. Here is Hershel Walker's resume:
Hershel Walker - College Football great who did not receive a college degree. Ran for the Senate butt he lost.
Here is a partial resume for Barack Obama (info from Wikipedia):
Barack Obama - He graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1983 and a 3.7 GPA. Despite being offered a full scholarship to Northwestern University School of Law , Obama enrolled at Harvard Law School in the fall of 1988,
He was selected as an editor of the Harvard Law Review at the end of his first year, president of the journal in his second year, and research assistant to the constitutional scholar Laurence Tribe while at Harvard for two years. Obama graduated from Harvard Law in 1991 with a Juris Doctor magna cum laude .
In 1991, Obama accepted a two-year position as Visiting Law and Government Fellow at the University of Chicago Law School to work on his first book. He then taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years, first as a lecturer from 1992 to 1996, and then as a senior lecturer from 1996 to 2004.
Obama has published 36 books.
Add:
Obama was elected to the Illinois State Senate three times.
Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate from Illinois.
Obama was elected President of the United States. Twice.
yeah but how many yards does Barack have?

Seeing Senator Warnock elected again and also having a Jewish senator is a real change for me. In 1959 I was stationed at Ft. Benning GA, outside of Columbus GA.

One day three of us, A creole, a black, and an Indian went to the USO club in Columbus and we were refused entry and told to go to our own USO club.
