    I'd only be surprised if it was for senator - he'd get no official GOP backing. But it's easy to imagine him running and getting a lot of backing if he ran to become a representative.

        plenty of time to die in a drunk driving "accident"

        not like, conspiracy accident but like, drunk driving deaths aren't accidents.

          Yeah, I spent a week in the midwest. It was horrifying just how fast people drive and how little people seem to give a shit about drinking and driving

            They assume there's nothing to hit out there, and sometimes they're correct.

            Was about to get defensive and then remembered the number of beer cans I used to see on the side of the road when I lived in rural areas. :/

        I entirely forgot how young he still is. I figured he was at least 21.

        2028 or 2030 is a long way off. He'd need to maintain enough of a media profile so that people don't forget his name.

          If the righties smell that they can use him, they'll start parading him all over the place, just watch. They'll create whatever media profile they need to.

      Hershel Walker has GOP backing, it'd be surprising but doable. If he goes to a good State school or higher and makes connections, he has a shot. If he goes to Liberty University it's the house of Reps for certain.
