As campaign struggles, Doug Mastriano plans ‘40 days of fasting and prayer’
Philly Inquirer ^

Posted on 09/28/2022 11:23:47 AM PDT by GulliverSwift

But some Republicans are worrying that Mastriano is squandering the opportunity in one of the country’s most consequential races. Would-be allies have remained on the sidelines, having concluded by now that a Mastriano win in November might require a minor miracle.

Coincidentally, divine intervention is just what the candidate has in mind this week.

On Monday night, Mastriano’s campaign posted on Facebook a photo of two hands under the words “40 days of fasting & prayer” with the dates Sept. 29 through Nov. 8 — Election Day. “Interceding for our elections, our state, and our nation,” it stated, along with a verse from the Book of Isaiah.

“Starting in a few days,” Mastriano wrote in the post. One Facebook supporter responded: “It’ll be my honor to fast with you.”

This is so depressing.

That’s the intent. It’s the leftists press pushing the idea of “just give up; don’t bother to vote.”

Take it with a cargo ship full of salt. It's the Philly Stink-quirer who hates Mastriano like poison.

Rather than bitch about what Mastriano isn't doing, ask yourself: "What am I doing to help?" If the answer is: "Bitching about Mastriano's campaign on FR," you are part of the problem.

The Founding Fathers and early Administrations declared these. There must have been something good about them.

You can see the Facebook begging post for yourself. Don’t pretend that because something is critical that isn’t true. Mastriano is floundering and needs to replace his campaign staff before it’s too late. He needs a better strategy than a bunch of tiny rallies with shut-ins.

Citing the Inquirer as proof of your assertion is not only concern trolling; it is argumentum ad verecundiam. Have a look through FR for threads that are asserting otherwise.

RNC not helping Mastriano just like McConnell not helping Blake Masters in AZ. McConnell instead is help Lisa in Alaska. The RNC, McCarthy, and McConnell only worry about POWER. Sound familiar!!!!

If fasting and prayer is this guy’s answer to adversity, he is a loser and a mental case.

Read the Facebook post for yourself. I did. Read his Twitter feed which is a ghost town of laziness. He is not putting nearly as much effort into this as he could be. He doesn’t attack Shapiro. He barely posts anything there.

https://twitter.com/SenMastriano

His current posts are about state parks, a fluff article about produce markets, the first day of fall and some posts honoring some vets who died long ago. He has one post about abortion. Nothing about Shapiro.

The guy thinks you can just sit back and take it easy when the Dems are out there savaging him daily.

Look, the GOPe, the Chamber and the usual crowd is right. Conservatives can’t win races. And to prove it, they will break the conservatives legs. See, they told ya so.

Facebook post? Repeat of argumentum ad verecundiam.

Using two logical fallacies in a row does not mean the latter cancels out the former.

Not me, and I still don’t.

I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I do know one thing:

This is NOT a trustworthy news source.

Oh, and Trump has zero Twitter activity since his account was deactivated for no reason. Yet he has a winning record in primaries, which looks to be translating to the November elections. Ever thought that Mastriano was shadow-banned a long time ago?

Read my tagline, if you haven’t already.

It’s Mastriano’s FB post. Anyone can see it, including you. Mastriano is not pursuing a smart strategy. It’s obvious to anyone who is paying attention. You can go around the MSM if you use social media a lot. Mastriano is not. Trump didn’t run away from interviews. He did all of them and pushed back whenever he was criticized. Mastriano just speaks to his friends and family.

I’m not sure why you’re so invested in defending a guy who’s just not cutting the mustard. Shapiro wanted Mastriano to run against him. Why was that?

This is so depressing. Where is the GOP??

The same place they were four years ago when Scott ("Pennsylvania's Trump") Wagner ran against Wolf.

you seem to post this reply in a lot of mastriano threads .. do you have an agenda or are you simply limited in your ability to understand that actions are what is needed here ... not empty words mouthing nothingness ...

Ok let’s see. What’s more dangerous, a democrat being elected or people concerned about how poorly the gop candidate is doing?

It’s the latter of course. Concern trolling, AKA expressing an opinion different than the brain dead is more dangerous than actually being defeated by a democrat.

Perfect example of why so many intelligent people have moved on.
