Run a crap candidate, get a crap result.
The teeth gnashing over Oz’s loss shows just how out of touch the national punditry is…
Complete off brand, fraudulent, snake oil salesman decides he wants to be a Senator, attempts to carpetbag his way in and surprise surprise, he loses.
This outcome was obvious from the start, only reason OZ only lost by 3 was due to Fetterman’s stroke, otherwise OZ goes down by 6-8.
The national punditry are morons, absolute morons. A state full of working class blue collar conservative voters, are going to be enamored by a man who is a member of the media industrial complex, is a card carrying member of the WEF, has advocated for gun control and trans children
Etc etc who literaLly had to settle a civil case for selling snake oil by paying out 5 million + dollars and agree to never again air the episodes of his show where he pitched the snake oil…
OZ had absolutely no political base or even connection to PA to build from, and the national pundits who’s entire experience in PA is they drove the turnpike 20 years ago once push this absolutely off brand candidate as a winnable candidate. A guy who had to spent more money in the GOP primary that both candidates spent combined in the last senate election to get 31% of the primary vote… this guy, this guys gonna win?!?!?
Run a crap candidate, get a crap result.. that’s exactly what happened in PA, and it was clear from the start this was the likely outcome… lash out at the voters all you like, but the real people who should be ashamed of themselves are the national pundits for pushing this turd in the first place.
This was going to be a tough state to win this cycle even with a great candidate… but to push the absolutely worst off brand candidate I have ever seen in my adult life and then last out at voters who didn’t get on board with your nonsense is just attempting to deflect from your own miserable failure
I agree, you get mixed bag of all different dried dog poo with oz, With fetterman, you know which dog it came from and it’s still fresh and squishing like his brain.
Chose the devil you know instead of a snake oil salesman.
Are you saying Republicans stayed home?
Your words carry a great deal of weight.
Here in michiganstan, we had to choose between wHitler and fourdoor dixon.
I watched the gop debates for the first time in 20 years.
Out of 5 candidates, I rated fourdoor as #4.
She had a hard time putting together a coherent thought.
Yet, somehow, she won.
And we lost.
Again
Travis McGee's graphic above shows the PA GOP could have run Ronald Reagan and lost by the same margin. Oz was no doubt the wrong guy - but where in PA is the right guy hiding?
