The race for the Republican nomination for Senate in Pennsylvania is Sean Parnell’s to lose after snagging an endorsement from former President Donald Trump.

We need as many vets in congress as we can get. They have a unique experience that will help what this country is about to face.

After the flagrant theft of PA in 2020, no statewide win in PA is assured for any GOP candidate…

I’m inclined to agree with you, but even veterans aren’t always immune to the corrupting influence of the Swamp. Stirling character is what is needed.

Vets can definitely take a more accurate stock as to how dangerous the political ground is.

The nomination may be Parnell’s to lose but the seat is Conor Lamb’s to lose. Prettier. Those things count.

Yep. Sean won handily, last year, just like PDJT.

There are things at work here behind the scenes. Unless the other two Reps fouled up in some way, that is, they are still in good standing, President Trump would calm the waters by offering them jobs in his next administration.

Easy to do, because he is going to have to purge a LOT of scoundrels from the government next time. The Pentagon alone is going to be decimated (1 in 10 fired). Same with the Justice Department and FBI, and State Department, etc.

President Trump is going to need a “yuge” pool of talent to draw from.

And that how we got in this mess.

Economic stagnation here, total failure aboard but at least we vote for pretty politicians

US politics has now become a giant high school voting for home coming queen

“We need as many vets in congress as we can get.”

Unfortunately, we get stuck with McCains and Crenshaws when we set the bar that low.

PA is so corrupt when it comes to elections, and I doubt if the machine will allow Parnell tho win. There will be cheating to beat the band.

They have been a mixed bag. Some of them are liberal Democrats (Tammy Duckworth), and some are the worst of Republicans (Adam Kinzinger).

And unlike Parnell, neither of them led troops in combat.
