This appearance in the past five days was limited. I don’t think the guy has much energy, and asking for anything more than 10 minutes of a speech is taking a lot out of him.
My belief...he wins, and about two years into this, is unfit for the job and has to resign.
If a conservative can’t win in PA in this election environment, that would be pathetic. Do we need another Xiden to push the minorities and independents into the conservative party? Because we won’t survive it.
We need both houses to absolutely SHUT DOWN Xiden and make him the most lame duck president in history, right before we impeach him and throw his sorry ass out the door.
The people writing these articles are idiots. This is Mitch McConell deliberately sabotaging republican candidates long before the election because he wants to defeat Trump candidates.
McCormick didn’t win the primary and he was expected to finish third.
This ridiculous criticism of Oz and Trump is going to screw the whole country with a left wing Senate.
Wake up and fight the democrats not republican candidates.
satan has a toe-hold on the state and lukewarm Christians are to blame. God is our only hope for America. Pray for revival across the land.
Other Rep was worse and needed to be gone.
Stupid article by a stupid person.
Here's the real story: A year ago, PA had an awesome GOP candidate in Sean Parnell. He would have won the senate race in his sleep. He unfortunately married a terrible woman years ago, and that terrible woman allowed even more terrible democrat operatives to interfere in their divorce in a way that, through some stunningly corrupt means, basically made Parnell choose between elected office or seeing his kids. Look it up, it's not just awful, it's nakedly political and shows just what kinds of demons the other side has working the lines.
After that bombshell, the GOP field was fractured. I don't know how Oz ended up in the mix, but in that post-Parnell chaos, he showed up as a vanity candidate who flew in on a private jet and courted Hannity and Giuliani first as a way to get the Trump endorsement; McCormick wasn't really all that bad, but had a lot of establishment stink on him; and then there were a bunch of also-rans who never had a statewide presence. Kathy Barnette surged in this vacuum because she was a black woman who happened to have a personal story that hit very strong with conservatives at a particular time in history (her mother was raped and she used that story to talk about the pro-life movement at a time when the Hobbs USSC decision was at the forefront of people's minds.).
If Freepers were honest with one another, they'd admit that if Kathy Barnette were a white man with the exact same life story, that guy wouldn't get elected dog catcher. She has some good prospects for the future if she plays her cards right, but she made a lot of rookie mistakes for a US Senate candidate, and it was not pretty. For the House, you can take a rookie with rookie mistakes, but not the US Senate.
McCormick just didn't have any juice to him, and he did nothing to distinguish himself from Dr. Oz (probably because he feared losing an eventual Trump endorsement if he won the primary).
Oz was awful as a primary candidate. Barely put in a lick's worth of effort, relied entirely on celebrity endorsements and banal campaign ads.
McCormick should have won the primary by a landslide, but there were a lot of blind Trump voters and a lot of blind Barnette voters. We're stuck with Oz as the candidate now.
Since that point though, Oz hasn't been nearly as awful as the right wing media wants you to believe. Oz is traversing the state and doing low level foundation building. He can talk exceedingly well extemporaneously on a number of topics , and he still has that celebrity factor to him. I'd be much more reassured if he and Mastriano would campaign as a team, or at least appear as co-candidates now and again, but there is still a gap there. There are a lot of butt hurt voters who are saying they won't vote for Oz (Lord knows this forum has 'em), but Fetterman is worse on every level and in every way and a lot of people already made up their minds to vote for Oz over Fetterman even if they will claim otherwise until election day.
“Kari Lake didn’t have consultants THAT is why she will win, she said what she felt like saying AND people are starved for TRUTH and authenticity!!!”,
Kari Lake voted for Obama. How is that so different about what too many Freepers are attacking Oz for, having been too liberal in the past. So Lake has authenticity and Oz doesn’t? What a crock. Republicans eat their own.
Republicans eat their own. It’s a perennial problem.
I posted this on another thread regarding Ohio voters and issues; it fits here too (it’s about Tucker Carlson also):
“When it comes to the issues Ohioans believe are most important, “Half of Ohio voters (50%) think the economy, including jobs, inflation, and taxes, is the most important issue facing Ohio, followed by abortion access (12%), healthcare (10%), crime (8%), and education (8%),” according to the poll.”
This puts the lie to what Tucker Carlson was saying tonight (thus irritating the heck out of me) about how immigration and crime are the two issues most upsetting to voters. Or they should be according to him.
He knocked Republicans about how they are arguing issues for the Mid-Term elections when I maintain he is as wrong as can be. The most important issue of all remains inflation and the price of gasoline as shown in the stats above. This inflation issue affects folks every day of their lives, visibly.
Immigration and crime doesn’t slap all of them up against the face as frequently as does the price of food and transportation every single day. Tucker knocked Doctor Oz’s commercial with him in the supermarket picking out veggies and saying how expensive they have become. Oz is right for highlighting this; Tucker made fun of Oz and was very wrong to do so.
Tucker at heart is a Libertarian, and periodically it comes out in his commentary big-time. This was one of those times, and it is really bugging me as he has been doing this lately, slamming the Pubs for “technique” right as the elections approach. Whatever issue(s) Tucker thinks are most important to the people, his tearing down the Pubs at this point in time rather than going after the Dems tooth and tong is wrong.
This is not the time to so vocally take issue with the Pub Party, whatever their warts, unless Tucker (and all of us) want to make it a much more fertile ground for the Dems to score points and do better at the polling booths. Tucker should keep his Libertarian trap shut at this point in time, rather than helping to bring on the very election results he purports to want to prevent, namely the Dems remaining in power.
Stuff it Tucker until after the elections with your Pub negativity, not before. The continuous desire of Libertarians to want to have heir third party win elections any time soon is a wet dream. Don’t help the Dems win by damping down the enthusiasm of the voters with logic and rationalism on their side, by muddying the waters with negative and unnecessary slamming of the only Party that will save conservatives and all of us from the jaws of doom.
And I’m tired of having talk show hosts pounce on each biased, slanted to the Dems polls that turn up with great regularity now. The MSM will churn out many polls from this point on up until the elections, that will show bogus election numbers and thus show an alleged close tightening of the race between Pubs and Dems. They do this every election cycle.
The MSM will show the numbers tightening to a neck and neck tie or show the Dems leading (all phony and concocted by how the polls weight the numbers and slant the poll questions). Yet Tucker seized on one poll’s set of poll results, while still relatively early in the election cycle before voters actually focus on the races in their states, to make up his commentary du jour. Thus getting in his obligatory slam against Pubs that seizes him periodically, probably to show how even handed he is being politically or to push his Libertarian bent upon us.
And another thing, stop pushing the Pubs to make wild promises about how they are going to radically change things when they get back in power until after the mid-terms. Steve Miller was pushing this on Tucker’s show tonight, along with Tucker. Biden will still be President, sitting there with his veto pen, ability to make rules and regulations, and to institute border policy. We still will have trouble making large changes in policies while Biden’s regime is still in control of the Executive branch of gov’t. Then the people will turn on Pubs for not being able to carry through on all of their agenda.
The Pubs can’t make false promises about all that they will do if they win, if they won’t be able to accomplish all of their agenda once in office. False claims will just make them look ineffective and thus bad to the public for over-promising. And if the Pubs threaten to shut down the gov’t fiscally in order to achieve their goals when in control of one or both Houses of Congress, we all know how that turns out. The Media goes into high gear, Pubs are blamed for any financial repercussions that may ensue, whether true or not, and once again we are the ogres. It is a fine line that the Pubs must walk right now verbally, and Tucker yapping from the sidelines against them is not helping here at all.
Advice to Tucker Carlson (whom I still love): as Archie Bunker was wont to say, Stifle it, Edith.
OH! Thank God. They finally got an endorsement they can credit him with. < /sarcasm >
I think when more of the electorate become aware of Fetterman’s state of health, Fetterman will slide down in the polls and lose to Dr. Oz.
I think Dr. Oz will be loyal to the GOP agenda in the Senate. That’s all that matters.
throw in the fact that Hannity hasn’t had Trump on his show since April, he must be hopping mad.Well Hannity, you sold your sole to the Aussie devils at Fox, live with it.
Fox is the reason Trump hasn't been on.
Tucker (AKA Fox News) showed no class, being photographed with, rubbing elbows with, yucking it up with the banished Trumps at Trump's golf tournament recently.
I thought people liked Dr. Oz? He did like 180 shows per year for 13 straight years.
I never watched the show myself.
I thought this race would be 50-50 based just on the good will from his TV show.
I think McConnell would rather lose then back those who Trump supports. He knows his leadership is at stake and can blame Trump
Folks this may be true, but please keep in mind that the GOPe
and RNC want nothing to do with any Trump endorsed
candidate.
They’ll give each of them the Roy Moore treatment. They’ll
trash them, and possibly even make robo calls against them.
Take some of these reports with a bit of a grain of salt.
These are essentially Democrats in sheep’s clothing.
Hannity is the Swamp.
More evidence that Trump keeps going back to the Swamp. Bad sign.
The Pubs can’t make false promises about all that they will do if they win, if they won’t be able to accomplish all of their agenda once in office
True, but standard Republicans have no interest in their so called agenda or anything else after being elected other than serving the donorocracy and telling normal Americans to F off.
You are so out of date it ain’t even funny

You paint with way too broad a brush, my friend. There are a lot of Republicans who are great patriots and fighting tooth and nail (often against some of their RINO colleagues) to do the right thing for our Republic. We must get as many MAGA conservatives voted into office this Mid-Term election as possible to swell our ranks.
Lots of Vets are running in this election and we need their mindset in office to mitigate the RINO establishment types in Congress that are a dying breed, in my opinion; the Vets and other like-minded patriots must be elected and we definitely need to vote in great numbers to accomplish this end.
