Raphael Warnock defeated Donald Trump&#8217;s hand-picked GOP nominee, Herschel Walker. The race was called by Fox News during Laura Ingraham&#8217;s program, and she didn&#8217;t bother to conceal her searing dismay. In a fit of fury she ranted that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We felt this coming. To me, it never felt like the Senate Republicans wanted this guy in office. He was a Trump pick. They didn\u2019t like that. They probably liked Herschel as a person, but there wasn&#8217;t the intensity on the part of the Republicans as there was on the part of Democrats. I felt it, you felt it, but we don&#8217;t change anything. We have the same people in place in leadership. The same people in place, apparently, at the RNC. Perhaps that\u2019s not changing.

She never acknowledged that Walker&#8217;s only assets as a candidate were his fawning adoration of Trump, and his race, because Republicans believed that Black Georgians were shallow enough to vote for a retired football player, even though he couldn&#8217;t complete a coherent sentence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=55515\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Herschel Walker Challenges Joy Reid to a Debate \u2013 But is Silent After She Accepts<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Ingraham, the fault lies with the GOP establishment who have presided over at least three losing election cycles. She&#8217;s actually right about that. If Republicans were smart (a far-fetched assumption), they would oust the entire GOP operation. However, they still wouldn&#8217;t advance their future electoral prospects unless they recognize that the Republican Party has been subservient to their Dear Leader Trump. He is the root of their problems. But they are to chickenshit to admit it, or doing anything about it.<\/p>\n<p>Ingraham&#8217;s guests were just as deluded. Federalist editor, Molly Hemingway, noted that Walker&#8217;s loss was <em>&#8220;really offensive for Republican voters [who] just see kind of failure across the board.&#8221;<\/em> Former Trump White House counselor, Kellyanne Conway praised Walker as <em>\u201cone of the most improved candidates.\u201d<\/em> Seriously?<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere on Fox News, Sean Hannity <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/therecount\/status\/1600316231285755904\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">babbled<\/a><\/strong> <em>&#8220;I think Republicans have been unwilling, for whatever reason &#8211; reluctant, resistant &#8211; to voting early and voting by mail.&#8221;<\/em> Gee, could the reason have anything to do with Trump&#8217;s relentless bashing of mail and early voting as corrupt and riddled with fraud?
