Republicans complain that Trump-backed Dr. Oz is blowing the Senate race against online prankster John Fetterman by being 'mentally and physically on vacation'
Business Insider via MSN ^ | 1-Aug-2022 | Warren Rojas

Political neophyte Dr. Mehmet Oz might have a decent shot at keeping Pennsylvania's open Senate seat red if he bothered to do the work, a GOP strategist said of the vacationing, Trump-backed candidate who is trailing Democratic rival John Fetterman.

"If Oz wasn't mentally and physically on vacation, it might be an even fight," said Keith Naughton, a Republican strategist turned cofounder of the political consulting firm Silent Majority Strategies, told The Hill about the pivotal contest to replace the retiring GOP Sen. Pat Toomey and possibly tip the balance of power in the 50-50 Senate. And embattled former President Donald Trump is fuming about Oz running "a terrible campaign," Radar Online reported.

Brittany Yanick, an Oz campaign spokesperson, countered the critiques by mapping out how busy her boss has been in recent weeks. "Since winning the primary, Dr. Oz has made over 120 campaign stops," she told Insider, adding that he's logged almost 2,500 miles while "crisscrossing the state to speak with voters in all four corners of the Commonwealth."

Recent polling has Trump-backed Oz behind by between 8.3 points or 11 points, reported FiveThirtyEight and Fox News, respectively.

Naughton attributed some of the lead to Fetterman's success needling Oz online about topics such as his reality-TV career and where Oz lays his head down at night.

Dr Azz is a horrible candidate and displays no political acumen whatsoever.

Like most RINOs, he doesn’t seem to want to win.

Dr Azz certainly behaves as if he deserves a coronation instead of earning the Senate seat.

The only thing that’s amazing about this is the number of Republican zombies who attack anyone here who points out the absurdity of this guy by making fantasy arguments along the lines of “sure he can win”.

Congratulations Senator Fetterman.

The blinds say that he wants to go back to tv.
It sounds like he was a chosen candidate to spoil the race.

I’ve seen several Fetterman commercials.

Even more Shapiro ones and anti-Mastriano ones.

I have yet to see a single 0z commercial

Soros and Zuckerbreath are pouring piles of blood-money into these races. If all three get selected we are in for a hell of a time in PA.

Oz was never electable in PA statewide, ever. Completely off brand….

Fools that pushed him have handed the seat to the Dems..

Of course MCCOrmick wasn’t much better, but OZ will be lucky, even with all
The wind at his back if he winds up within 5 on Election Day.

Barnette was the fighter.. absolutely miss..

Folks were warned, now enjoy the Crapfest you created

Trump chose him and is 100% responsible for this mess.

It sounds like he is doing a “McCain”.
Pocket all the $$$ and then go home.
Liz will do the same thing when she runs for President in ‘24.

We aren’t going to win every race, unfortunately.

All the TV in the world won’t save OZ… he is completely off brand too win statewide in PA as a Republican.

He’ll play reasonable in the Philly and no border area and crater everywhere else…

People that pushed this arsehat as electable in PA have zero understanding of pA state politics.

Folks were warned. Fetterman will eat OZ for breakfast and crap him out by lunch…

Even with all the wind at his back it will be a miracle if OZ is within 5 on Election Day.
