RE: Lived in PA since 1986, and not a chance in hell I will vote for this carpetbagging slime bag.
So, your choice is to stay home then?
Stay Home?
Cleary you don’t live in PA, because its almost always some foolish outsider who makes such idiotic statements...
“Oh if you don’t support candidate A, that I can’t possibly vote for, because I don’t live there, but it’s who I think should win, there must be no other option.”
Hate to break it to you, but OZ isn’t even winning the primary here at this point... He’s a wet noodle. That’s how bad he plays here, he literally has more name recognition that any GOP candidate, and he’s running second and has been all year... Though the Trump endorsement might get enough low information voters to back him that he may pull off the primary win... we will see.
OZ is a twit... he literally has NO base in PA beyond the name recognition and the low information women who were fans of his show.
He believes guns are a health care issue, and has advocated for transgender childhood mutiliation... he’s no “ideolistic conservative” in any way.... he’s just another GOPe/Uniparty/RINO hack trying to play a part that he thinks will get him elected.
Toomey was the last straw for me, won’t hold my nose and vote for another hack.. for 30 years we’ve had to deal with these fools.. because that’s who the PA GOP wants us to support, and I am done with it... Specter, Santorum, Toomey... DONE...
Other PA Gop voters can continue their battered women relationship with the party, but I am done.. you give me a crap candidate, don’t expect my vote. I’m done... The attitude of the GOPE of PA is the same as the GOPe of DC... if they had had there way in 16 we would have had JEB...absolutely no difference in how the state party operates...
I’ll support who I believe represents me and my values, and if they lose in the primary, I own’t hold my nose and support someone I know doesn’t in the general.
OZ is a terrible candidate.
There is a red tide coming this fall, no doubt, but if I had to put a race that the Dems will buck the trend, I would say the PA Senate race is probably a race I would not be surprised if the Dems gain this seat. Fetterman is a solid candidate, and he quite honestly, is going to make the GOP candidate, whoever it is, likely look inept and poor once they are head to head.
I am viewing this race as a bell weather, if the GOP candidate wins this fall, then the D party is going to get crushed everywhere, because all the GOP options (well the ones high enough in the polls in the primary) are all pretty crap offerings... If any of them face Fetterman and win, then a ham sandwich would have won as long as it had an R by its name.
Right now, odds are heavily in the GOP favor to hold this seat on paper, but knowing this state the way I do.... Once it’s a head to head matchup and whoever the GOP nominee is has to stand up and face Fettermen head to head, I will not be surprised to see that even though Biden is a failure, and the party is mudd, that this race bucks the trending.
The usual hack rhetoric of inexperienced politicians, isn’t going to stick to Fetterman... “He’s a fat cat, a big wig, an insider, etc etc etc”. Just aren’t likely to bite. Fetterman spent years as the Mayor of Braddock PA, fighting battles most politicians and people walked away from... he’s an imposing presence in any room... you aren’t going to ignore him, and he has the bonafides to make these carpet baggers the GOP has put forward look exactly as empty as most of them are.
We will find out this fall one way or another, I know the Democrat party brand is in the toilet, and this fall should be an absolute run away for the GOP... but this is one race, where I really will not be surprised if Dems gain this seat. GOP candidate, whoever it winds up being , will have a large wind at their back, but I would not remotely count Fetterman out... he is by FAR the strongest candidate on either side of the aisle.
