Herschel Walker was asked about the imminent closure of a major Atlanta hospital. His reply suggests he still isn't doing his policy homework. - MaddowBlog

The Republican sounded a bit like a student who forgot to do his homework.
Look, I realize that health care policy can be complex, especially for someone who’s never worked in government at any level. But on Nov. 1, a major medical institution in Georgia’s largest city is scheduled to permanently close its doors. Walker’s proposal is to “see what the problem is” and then “try to solve that problem.”
