Wolfs going to now role-play the perfect politican because the citizens have turned the heat up bigtime!......
“How it went Wolf and Trump boggles my mind.”
He campaigned as a moderate in 2014. He also ran against a Republican that raised PA’s gas tax to a record high in the USA. After winning, he went full left.
Wolf lucked out winning reelection in 2018 ... the RNC didn’t do anything to help any candidates in PA (aside from a couple in the House) + Wolf seemed to be riding that mini-blue wavelet in 2018.
One final note ... up until recently, PA always saw a cycle where a Repub would serve 2 full terms followed by a Dem that served 2 full terms. That cycle was broken in 2014, but I think a new one will be starting in 2022 :-).
Buckeye McFrog:
“Back when Wolf won his first term this state was having a hissy fit over ex-RINO Gov. Tom Corbett and his FIFTY CENTS per gallon gas tax.
Another case of not so much the Democrat winning as a RINO stepping in it, bigtime.”
I think the Joe Paterno scandal had a lot to do with it.
