He’s not acting like he’s ready for prime time.

his Wikipedia page states:

“Mastriano's campaign has largely avoided talking to media outlets and journalists.[113] Instead choosing to directly reach supporters via Facebook and speaking to a few conservative outlets.[110] Reporters from several outlets have been refused entry to his rallies, including reporters from The Philadelphia Inquirer,[20] NBC News,[118] and CNN.[119] A Philadelphia Inquirer reporter said that there were printed-out photographs of him and other journalists at the check-in desk at a Mastriano rally in Lancaster County.[20] Mastriano's campaign also attempted to have two CNN journalists removed from a hotel where they had video equipment set up on a balcony overlooking a rally in Uniontown. The journalists had previously been prevented from being admitted to the rally; they were allowed by the hotel to stay.[118]”

What’s troubling is whether Mastriano, if elected, will govern the same way. Will he block out the media then? He’s fine preaching to the choir, but he’s not reaching out to independents and crossover democrats. He’s hiding, basically. What kind of campaigning is that?

It’s also not a workable governing philosophy.

Wait a minute. Everyone cheers when Ron DeSantis sticks it to the leftist media. When Doug Mastriano does it, it’s troubling? Are you voting for Mastriano? Also, you know his Wikipedia page has been written by the Shapiro campaign and the leftist media, right?

Mastriano decided he wasn’t going to interact with the enemy media. Whether this is a winning strategy remains to be seen. If he’s elected, I expect he will govern as he’s campaigned: an America First conservative. That sounds pretty good to me. I am not troubled in the least by that. I’m actually sort of excited by it.
