I’ll also add something Mark Levin said today. We lost an important seat. It is an embarssment to the nation. Something is not right when a guy like Fetterman can beat a guy like Dr. Oz. PA is not a radical state. It is a purple state, sometimes more reddish. Philly is hardcore left and so corrupt and in so many other ways the tale that wags the dog. What happened in PA? What happened there is it was still a close race, but you CAN’T have a debate near the end of October when you have 50 DAYS of early voting and the insanity of that. And so the Democrats played it that the ONLY way they would have a debate with Oz is that there was only 1 debate, 1 hour, a handful of questions, very late in the election process 10 days before the election. So you have well over a MILLION people who have already voted. That effected the election as well as gubernartorial candidate, Mastriano, who I never cared for who was a DISASTER. So Oz really had his back against the wall. No excuses. But that wasn’t Trump’s fault or all Trump’s fault or soley Trump’s fault or whatever else some are saying.

It amazes me how folks focus on the 16, and forget about the over 200.

That is political spinning at its worst.

This was a wave election year with a disliked POTUS (lowest approval rating) a bad economy (72%+ say we are heading in the wrong direction), etc and the GOP will end up with the lowest number of gains for an out-of-power party in the history of the nation. But you go play polly-anna and tell us we scored a major victory.

The failure was the PA Legislature not addressing the wide spread mail-in ballot infrastructure that they enabled in 2020... and we know is susceptible to fraud.

Mastriano led the effort to get mail-in voting in Pennsylvania. It is ironic that it is what defeated him.

Now that PA will have another Dem governor and possibly a Democrat controlled Assembly, we are screwed forever.

“I suspect Trump was behind longtime supporter Lou Barletta in that race, but he wouldn’t endorse him because Barletta wasn’t polling well enough to give any indication that he’d win.”

Lou would have made an excellent governor. He’s had a lifetime experience of running a business, he’s against open borders, & he’s a true conservative. I admire him.

“And even after endorsing Doug, Trump never gave him one penny for his campaign. not a single financial contribution. Doug had to rely mostly on small contributions on his Doug4Gov webpage.“
***
I went to two Doug rallies in Nazareth & Easton. They were very low key with no excitement. He tried hard & traveled relentlessly all over the state. He needed money for tv ads.

Until you clean up the cheating in your state you are going to keep being screwed because no decent person wants to waste their time running for office when they know the outcome is rigged.

You’re right. All this crap about “no red wave”, “Trump lost”, etc., is just a psy-ops effort to make our side look like weak losers. Facts and data are just annoyances.

Doctor Oz was a mistake. But given the institutionalized fraud in Pennsylvania elections, it probably didn't matter.
