I think that changed yesterday. McConnell’s PAC just gave Oz an infusion of money. I think. People were complaining yesterday that Oz just became McConnell’s bitch.

Yes, everything you said is true. Oz was a lousy pick and a lousy candidate. But at the end of the day, even if he only supports your view 50% of the time, that’s going to be 50% more than you’ll get from Fetterman.

For all of McConnell’s faults, and there are many, the greatest thing he was able to accomplish as Senate Majority Leader was to replace liberal judges at all federal levels with conservative judges. We haven’t begin to realize how important this was to saving America.

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

He did with an ad showing him shopping for crudite ingredients to talk about inflationbecause everyone can relate to crudite. He got the name of the store he was in wrong but that's ok.

I hope he wins and if I lived in PA, I'd hold my nose and vote for the him or any R.

I live in PA. I voted for Barnette…I believe Oz is an idiot. However, we can’t afford to have Fetterman. He is a full blown communist. He is dangerous..so I will be voting for Oz because the alternative is….ummmm….a dangerous Marxist!

What seems to motivate liberal democrat voters is elevation of retardation...They could not have picked a better example of a witless bonehead unless Joe Biden himself came from Scranton.

Thanks to Oz’ gaffe, I’ve now learned that “vegetable platter” has an actual name.

But, yeah, he needs to have someone proofread his tweets before he fires them off.

And I’m not a PA resident but holding my nose to vote for the least crappy candidate is something I have a lot of practice with because in the end, winning with a lousy candidate is better than losing with a great one. Oz will be better than Fetterman, I’m certain.

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.

+1

In 2016, I had some doubts about Trump.

I had absolutely no doubts about Hillary however and voted against HER as much as FOR Trump.

I had no reservations in 2020 about either candidate.

Now, in 2022, I have my doubts about Oz.

I have absolutely NO DOUBTS WHATSOEVER about the POS Fetterman.

And I will gladly explain that to any of my fellow Pennsylvanians.

In the Governor’s race - Mastriano is a solid conservative and Shapiro is another lockdown “Tommy Wolf in women’s sheep’s clothing”.

If they allowed none of the above in this election I seriously think it would get over 50%.

Snow, graham and murkowski agree. Voting for a rino just gives the gop permission to run more of them. We have been masked, locked down, jabbed or fired… kids groomed by the NEA… who just happen to have fully automatic weapons.

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

McConnell's PAC is investing more than $30 million there and there is also the loads of cash the NRSC is putting in there.

“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).”

Few know this!!!! Even fewer know that he’s a Harvard graduate!!! The media in PA did a great job not mentioning any of this so that they could promote that he’s a blue collar guy that just magically found his way into politics for the “common good”. He is “the machine” dressed up as Lurch!!

Even more repulsive is the PA Republican Party. They’ll prevent anyone from the right of moderate from winning. If they don’t spew the moderate line, they won’t help the candidate. Then they’ll lecture us about choosing “proper” candidates in the primaries afterwards of course. They’d rather hand the seat to a Dem then campaign for the very people their base frigging chose!!!!

My only hope is that the Oz campaign attacks him mercilessly. The guy is LITERALLY a lazy, leftist, entitled slob and his entire persona is a media created character. Eliminating these kinds of candidates shouldn’t be hard in a purple state like PA (I think its red, but the fraud has kept it purple for a rather long time).

“He will also vote to the left of Bernie Sanders.”

He will be a newer, relatively younger version of Sanders ... that’s hilarious but terrifying (looking up to another lazy, unaccomplished slob is kinda funny if you think about it). Sanders would more than likely tell him to cool it with some of his radical leftist ideas!!!!

You kind of describe him as a Pennsylvania version of Beto O’Rourke. I think that fits but perhaps a classless Goth version.

Why can a citizen of another country serve in the US Senate? What kind of insanity is that? I understand that he has dual citizenship, Turkey and US but shouldn’t he be forced to denounce one, to live in the other? That goes for ANYONE. If you are have two wives, or two countries, it is the same thing. One of them is going to have love made to “her”, the other is screwed.

“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.”

Exactly right.

Wrong, what happened in GA was a weak candidate. But keep trying to convince yourself about the midterm outcomes.
