Lou Barletta Releases New TV AD! #Lou4Senate
Here's one of Lou Barletta's TV ads. Apparently, the GOPe has decided not to support Rep. Barletta in his challenge to Bob Casey, Jr. for the Pennsylvania US Senate seat. But this guy shouldn't go down without a fight as he is a Trump-style Republican who made his career opposing open borders.
Go share this ad on social media, like Lou's Facebook page if you're on that platform, and support the campaign however you can. Without grassroots support, Bob Casey, Jr. -- who IS beatable -- will cruise to an easy victory.
What the hell is the GOP problem in not supporting him ?
Thanks Antoninus.
Arlen Specter would win. Being funny.
BUMP for Barletta!
PA Pinglist ping.
Philly precincts will come in with 120% this time!
I think we should be able to win without the hope. Honestly. Everyone sends just a few bucks.
A young kid from the local GOP stopped by my house and installed an app on my iPhone. I’ll be making 500+ calls a day from now until election day. The app does everything; it’s really a piece of cake and doesn’t take much time at all. I’m going down swinging, please join me.
Trump spoke in downtown Philly this afternoon - mass protests and bad weather were expected to hit at about the same time, and local talk radio heads this morning were warning to avoid Philly today at all costs if possible - Trump has come and gone, and ABC local TV channel 6, which never goes a session without some negative hit piece on the president, say about “a hundred” people showed up to protest (”dozens” as their banner announced it) - if that’s the best the opposition could do in a major million or so person city with nothing but ‘rat politicians from top to bottom, I’d say the state’s the Republicans for the taking.....
Worthless small ball ad, that is a complete example of the HORRIBLE MESSAGING!!!
Crap like this is EXACTLY why he’s down 18, and so are all the other R senators running in the upper midwest are down 11-18....
The GOP is completely incompetent when it comes to how to run a campaign in this part of the country!
JEEZUS!!! TRUMP SHOWED YOU HOW TO DO IT, and you just completely ignore his lessons and run the same stupid things you were doing for 20 years that have not worked....
Well they supported Trump in 2016
There is nothing you can do to ensure Casey is defeated, the GOP isn’t trying to defeat him... The fact you refuse to accept it, is what is disturbing and its WHY the GOP is utterly ineffective (for the most part) in these states.
Ads like this are to motivate the base... that’s it, not win elections. Its clear the GOPe has no intention of attempting to win ANY of the senate races in the upper midwest... All it is trying to do is keep its base somewhat engage so they don’t wind up with a down ballot massacre.
I am not Trolling, I am trying to get the GOP ecosphere and its supporters to wake up and realize they are being betrayed. Those who are supposed to be trying to win, are doing nothing to advance the cause... NOTHING.
Pointing out, and suggesting alternatives, which I have done here and other places is not being negative. Its being blunt, and honest. The GOP needs to stop with this small ball messaging and get on offering the voters in these states a REASON to vote FOR them, by telling them what they will do for them... not name calling the other side...
The Dominoes are set about as perfectly as they could be to not just defeat Casey, but thanks to the Kavanaugh fiasco, defeat D senators across the upper midwest.. yet, what’s going on? Every one of them is down 11-18 points except for MN.... Grass Roots can’t save the party from its own incompetence.
The GOP has decided that its not going to try to compete here.. its obvious. Perhaps as it becomes obvious that the Red State Dems are toast, they may redirect resources here, but they are running out of time... and even if they do spend MILLIONS here, if its on messaging like this ad, it won’t do jack... over 5 Million was pumped into PA18, to basically fund this exact type of ad, and they lost.... All the money in the world, pushing bad marketing, doesn’t result in sales.
There is no excuse for the fact that they are facing a complete slaughter up here, other than the messaging being used is garbage.. and they flat out refuse to accept it... either that, or as I have said they know its crap, but their only goal is to just keep the base engaged to minimize down ballot slaughter as well... or they intentionally are trying to lose....
You don’t have to like that I speak the truth, but if you want yes men, you wind up with campaigns like what are going on across the upper midwest, where you are getting wholesale slaughtered.
