True, Oz did great against Fetterman, and provably sewed up the Senate race. That is a very good thing with the closely contested Senate majority in the balance.
But does anyone doubt Kathy Barnette would have mopped the floor with Fetterman just as well?
The argument against Kathy (which I disputed loudly at the time) was that she could not possibly win in the General. We can now see in retrospect that was untrue.
Furthermore, as the true MAGA candidate, Kathy would now be poised to fundamentally shift the Republican Senate away from the RINOs who now control it - it is doubtful that Oz (Toomey 2.0) will do that.
I wish Oz a thundering victory - and will pray that some of Trump’s MAGA spirit rubs off on him.
But please don’t use Fetterman’s poor performance to try and justify casting aside the true MAGA candidate, who we can now all see would have been just as likely to win that prized senate seat as is Oz.
Kathy doesn't have money of her own, and she didn't have big money connections.
Given how worthless the national GOP is on funding candidates, unless they get within a few points of the Dem, lack of money would have made her campaign a tough slog.
