That’s EXACTLY how I felt.

McGinty would have lost to a rusted nail gabbed in the eye on the ballot.

What’s important is that Wolf got his 2 justices that will be onboard for the next 5 years - Thus preventing a conservative overthrow on the state Supreme bench.

That retirement age BS was most underhanded piece of garbage I’ve ever seen. Cuomo and Malloy took notice of how that scam worked.

I despise Toomey because of his gun grab but voted for him anyway, as I saw the bigger picture. SCOTUS etc.


Exactly. Me too.

There’s actually a couple that might shift parties; Trump sincerely has to screw up over and over and over again to prevent that. And simply choosing to follow through with his election promises won’t match that, no matter how much liberals wish it would.

Plenty of potential GOP voters are made to feel very unwelcome in the GOP... in both the establishment faction and in conservative factions. At least in many states and counties that is the way it is.

The newcomer is told to “Kiss my seniority”. The nature of a newcomer is that he doesn’t kiss up.

I voted for Toomey (straight R) because I wanted to give Trump the coattails, and because the local Republican Party official in my district was begging Trump supporters to vote for Toomey. I asked torcsone Trump lawn signs and he made me take a Toomey sign too.

Where I live it seemed like without Trump, Toomey wouldn’t have had a chance.
