Herschel first: That’s my message to the Republican Party. 

You’re going to carry the House. You can pick up the Senate if Herschel Walker wins the Georgia runoff.  

Now is not the time for all kinds of finger-pointing and blame-gaming. Now’s the time for some party unity to push Mr. Walker over the goal line and into the end zone. The end zone is a GOP Senate with 51 votes. 

While 51-49 may sound like a tight race, in fact it would be a GOP landslide — because all the committee chairmanships go to Republicans, and they would run the budget process.  Also, tax policy, permitting, border control, parental say in education, and on and on. 

That’s how important this is. You want to save America? Save Herschel Walker.  

Some really good news is that Senator McConnell has made an arrangement with Governor Kemp, who will loan his get-out-the-vote machine and his political team to the Walker operation for the December 6 runoff.  

Mr. Kemp is one of the best in the country, and he himself had a tremendous election victory, clobbering an election denier, Stacey Abrams, who will now presumably be retiring from politics. 

Mr. Kemp will transfer his doorknocking, data analytics, phone banking, and micro-targeting programs to the Senate Leadership Fund — Mr. McConell’s Super PAC that is supporting Mr. Walker. The Super PAC will provide the funding, perhaps $2 million-plus, to fund the effort, and the Walker get-out-the-vote operation will be run by Mr. Kemp’s top advisers and staffed by more than 100 field workers. This was reported in Politico, which I never entirely trust, but Fox confirmed it yesterday and so have other media outlets.  

So, hopefully Herschel Walker will stay on message, and talk about inflation, crime, the border, and taking the handcuffs off of oil and gas.  

Right now we’re talking “Save America,” “Make America Great Again,” and “America First” — and it all adds up to “Herschel First.” Based on conversations I’ve had with leading Republicans around the country, they will all be descending on Georgia to help the Herschel First operation.  

I think it would be terrific if my former boss, Donald Trump, put his own political plans on hold until we get through the Herschel First operation. A number of people have suggested to me the wisdom of President Trump unlocking a big chunk of his own PAC money to assist in the Herschel First operation. These are suggestions, but a number of GOP leaders have made them to me.  

As you know, I’ve been talking about the GOP platoon. We didn’t quite get to cavalry status in the midterms, but platoons have plenty of soldiers, a lot of staying power, and they know how to move in the right direction. Platoons are bigger and better than squads — you know exactly who I mean. 

So this becomes the Herschel First platoon.
