It's unthinkable that a poor candidate like Herschel Walker could win a Senate seat in Georgia, but we voted for a president like Donald J. Trump in 2016. Boo, hoo, we should all be sad that a Semitic and demented billionaire like Kanye West has been deprived of his manifold marketing enterprises. Most Americans will not care if he fades from memory; I sure would not care. I'm not even a fan of his particular kind of music. Unfortunately, his hatred has a new harbor in the refurbished Twitter platform bought by Elon Musk. I'm so disheartened by the results of the polls in Georgia that you discussed during your podcast. It's so emblematic of an unfamiliar America since the coming of Trump. It's disgusting and it seems that too many voters have been inculcated by the toxicity of Trump. The cancer of Trumpism has metastasized throughout the corridors of political power. I'm still hoping, as you said, that these depressing polls have omitted the growing numbers of women and other undecideds that might be turning out right now in early voting. I agree that Walker is definitely cognitively compromised, but repugnicans, as I call them, don't care at all about this as long as they can control their stammering puppet of an acquiescent Black candidate. I agree with your comparison between John Fetterman and Walker exposes the utter hypocrisy of the Republican Party. The former's "handicaps" do not compare at all to the myriad flaws of the Georgia candidate at all. These should disqualify Walker from running as a candidate in the first place.

Actually, I didn't mind just hearing the two of you this time without your comrade-in-arms Bob Cesca, by the way.
