What you have are two guys who should both be TV reality hosts....nothing more. The fact that the state couldn’t find anyone else? That really says a lot.

From what I read last night Fetterman has a serious heart problem that he has known about since 2017, yet has does very little about it. He had a stroke a few months ago probably related to his heart problem and it sounds as if his heart trouble is progressive, thickening of the heart muscle. On that basis alone he probably should not be in the race, his chances of further health complications sound probable.

In January 2021, around 400,000 Georgia Republicans decided to stay home and do just that, with most of them freely admitting they were deterred from voting by then-President Donald Trump's insistence that the 2020 elections in Georgia were "illegal and invalid." Consequently, they doubted, even if they showed up, that the state's election system would produce valid results.

I call BS on that. It is more likely they were not motivated to vote by the lackluster RINO candidates.

Nothing worse than a liberal media article except for a RINO never-Trumper article.

. . . somehow thinking that by abstaining from voting, they are sending a message. In the heat of the moment, though, they forget the real-life consequences of elections.

We have a couple of the loudest posters on the Pennsylvania board that fit that profile to a "T".

Consider that as an insurance policy if Mastriano is elected governor and Oz doesn’t win. Fetterman can croak of heart failure and Mastriano gets to appoint a Senator until there is an election.

You would think someone would go and find some steel-worker or coal-miner, and just invent some legendary status to run him in senate race.

Neither Fetterman or Oz are legit creations.

Yeah, there’s one in the Pennsylvania posts that makes a fool of himself at least a couple times per day. No logic in that. Anyone that has lived in PA for any amount of time knows how to hold their nose and vote for a RINO. That is always preferable to voting for a Democrat and in this case a blatant commie. Anyways, Oz doesn’t have a political record to run on. We won’t know he is a RINO until he votes for McConnell as Leader. Btw, Oz is on record saying he won’t vote for McConnell.

Oz could conceivably win this thing.

Fetterman is a bum who sponged off of his parents well into his 40s and never really held a real job (his mayoral job had a salary of $100/month). He will also vote to the left of Bernie Sanders.

Oz just needs to light a fire under his ass and get his message out there.

Sure, he's a carpetbagger but so was Hillary Clinton and after the election, they called her Senator Clinton.

Those guys are amazing in their ignorance and arrogance.

My pure candidate didn’t win so you’re stupid and I’m not voting.

What a bunch of retards

One thing you need to understand about Pennsylvania politics is that empty suits can be built into a legend. Bob Casey, Jr. is exhibit A; the pothead Fetterman is exhibit B.

As for those who get the GOP nod, requirement #1 is that they are largely rich enough to finance their own campaigns. That alone winnowed it down to Oz and the China hedge fund guy named McCormick. If Kathy Barnett had somehow managed to win, she would have been sandbagged in the general election due to lack of financing. That's the reality.

Hillary had the Clinton branding with her husband. Riding coat tails is easy in NY. It’s a solid democrat lock.

I am one of those that despises Festerman but will not vote for Azz.

Why?

Dr Azz has been with the World Economic Forum since 1999 and was named a “future leader” by the WEF in 2012.

Dr Azz wrote a paper for the WEF about the need for socialized medicine to create the future human.

Dr Azz supports assault weapon bans, red flag laws, grooming your children and transsexual (genital) mutilation of minors.

Dr Azz supported Biden’s Veteran bill and praised China’s handling of Covid, including lock downs, masking and forced vaccination.

There is much more, but I have no candidate in this race and will not vote for either despicable nominee.

Well,that explains the lackluster support he’s getting from the RNC.

Richard Jewell’s lawyer probably convinced a lot to stay home.

“Oz just needs to light a fire under his ass and get his message out there.”

I’m so sick of people saying this when Oz has been all over PA like a mustard plaster, campaigning everywhere. The Oz hatred has got to stop and everyone has to get going and support Oz on social media, political sites and especially by voters in PA. We stand to lose so much if the in poor health socialist wins this race and Pubs in particular have to figure this out. It’s not playtime anymore. This is a dead serious race with dead serious repercussions. Candidate perfection doesn’t exist. Live with it.

The biggest thing Oz had in his favor in the GOP primary was that he was an outsider with no connections to the inept and corrupt state Republican Party establishment.

Think of this in the context of what I posted above. Sounds like he same things I would have said about Donald Trump in 2016.
