Yeah, Trump's Dr. Oz Endorsement Probably Cost Us Pennsylvania and the Senate
PJ Media ^ | 08/18/2022 | Stephen Green

Posted on 08/18/2022 10:04:30 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Dr. Mehmet Oz, who earned former President Donald Trump’s primary-race endorsement in April, is going down in flames according to a new GOP poll.

Republican-affiliated Public Opinion Strategies reports that surgeon-turned-TV-host Dr. Oz trails Democrat John Fetterman by nearly 20 points!

Trump gave Oz his “complete and total endorsement” before the wide-open GOP primary of six candidates, a move that probably sealed the deal with Pennsylvania Republicans.

The doc won in a squeaker, barely beating out second-place finisher David McCormick, 31.2% to 31.1%.

The former president praised Oz’s positions on abortion, crime, the Second Amendment, border security, the military, education, energy independence, and election fraud. Those are all well and good, but before lending an endorsement, someone in Trump’s position first needs to determine whether the recipient is at all likely to win the general election.

In Dr. Oz’s case, right now that’s a big, fat NO.

Let’s face it: He is not a good candidate.

After winning his primary, Oz went AWOL.

While Fetterman was literally incapacitated by a stroke, the doc failed to capitalize on a prime opportunity to define himself and his prone opponent:

Recent reporting suggests that Oz might not have taken advantage of those several weeks where Fetterman was sidelined, a significant span of time during a race that could be integral to party control of the Senate.

Puck is reporting that the former TV personality was in Palm Beach, Florida, until June 9 at least, not holding his first post-primary event until June 10. Oz reportedly also traveled to Ireland to visit family at the end of June and did not return until early July.

OZ is horrible that is a fact HOWEVER Fetterman is not at all healthy he like just like having another mentally incapable person legislating!! If the people of PA. vote for this they are as mentally incapable as Fetterman!! OZ was a HUGE mistake yes HOWEVER what the hell is the GOP and RNC doing to help these candidates with a vision to run on they are also pulling back funding WTH!!

Some of us said this from the beginning, and were criticized for it. Not only that, but if he were to somehow win, he’d probably vote mostly with the democrats. But hey, this is one thing that Democrats and Republicans can agree on: they don’t like Dr oz.

Hannity is not to blame for this. Trump loves Oprah. He thought if he could get Dr Oz elected, Oprah would run as his vp.

Shaun Pernell was the PERFECT candidate BUT his wife screwed that up for him!!! I honestly believe that Barnett could have beat Fetterman he is SO BAD and Barnette had the fire in the belly OZ does NOT have the fight or fire in the belly!!

You may be right. Dr. Oz could be down by 30. The weird thing about voters, is they find it hard to vote for someone who doesn’t even show any evidence of wanting to be elected. This may be the first race for Senator between two candidates both in comas.

You were right that fetterman is a terrible candidate. But somehow the Republicans picked a nominee who could actually make him look good.

You people still don’t understand Trump’s mindset.
He is Maichavellian. There’s a reason why he endorsed Oz.
Trump doesn’t silence his critics. He pushes them out in the open and gives them the rope to off themselves.

If that’s the case, let PA die in its own juice.

They had better wake up.

“If you’re going to believe this poll with Oz down 18, it also has Mastriano down 15. That means it had nothing to do with Trump or Hannity. It is what it is.”

I agree. What the heck is going on in Pennsylvania? Is the Democrat media that effective?

Republicans and Palestinians have one thing in common: They never lose an opportunity to lose an opportunity.

Biden’s approval in PA is what? Maybe 42 percent. And the Dems candidates for Gov and Senate are up by 18. Yeah, I don’t think so. Follow Richard Baris of people’s Pundit. He’s the best pollster. He is on Gettr, Rumble. Do yourself a favor and learn something. Stop getting wee wee’d up on these bull sh!t polls.

Oz needs to make the campaign about Fetterman and not about him. Show everybody what a Communist Fetterman is, and that he’s utterly incapable of doing the job, functionally.

Everything I’m sure his GOP consultants are telling him not to do.

If Oz wins, I’ll be looking forward to the new name Trump calls him because Oz keeps siding with the dems because that is what Oz is. A dem. It will make zero difference which one wins

Gotta wonder what the thought process was to endorse Oz. I thought it unwise and odd at the time but also assumed Trump and team knew something I didn’t.

Well it ain’t over till it’s over and anything can happen between now and election day.
