What does Trump's endorsement of Herschel Walker mean?

First, Walker's black, so if you think Trump's problem is primarily that he's a racist, he's trying to put that myth to bed.

Second, Walker is obviously more loyal and sympathetic to Trump's professed politics than Warnock, so maybe he's just picking a loyalist who can win.

Or, there's the fact that Walker lies, routinely, all the f-ing time, and that's the kind of guys who support Trump.

It means there's something wrong with Hershel. But to each other they see no harm in touching women with your fist if you are angry.
Assault whether it's battery or sexual is all cool. To those two.

Early 1970s, Hershel Walker headed up the major black gang from the East side of town, constantly fighting the gang from the West side. I was there, he grew up in a violent environment but he never put that behind him.@kentex35

@BackyardShaman I didn't know that. I knew Landry drafted him w while he was playing in the USFL. It turned out to be a good move when Jimmy Johnson traded Walker for all those players and draft picks. He put the cowboys in a dynasty to some. Landry had some twenty plus years in a row before that.
He got Roger Stauback (sp?) By drafting him four years before he satisfied his military commitment to be free to play pro.
Hershel still has a bad temper. But he's not the only one.
