Shapiro outspent Mastriano something to the effect of 50:1. Money came from all over the country to make sure he won, he's being groomed for higher office, maybe as a presidential candidate.

The fact is the GOP gave Pennsylvania to the Democrats this cycle, leaving aside all other issues.

Correct. Shapiro spent $35 million on his campaign. Mastriano, by comparison, spent $200K. Part of me understands this -- spending huge money on advertising in leftist media is a terrible strategy and Republicans need to learn how to win without subsidizing the other side. But come on. This kind of lopsided spending tells you that Shapiro was the Uniparty's guy and that Mastriano's only chance was for the voters to see through the messaging and come out in huge numbers for him.

This race, I guarantee you, was the Uniparty's insurance policy against a Trump re-election in 2024. With Shapiro as governor, there is zero chance that Trump can win PA.

Right, the National Republican Party and the Republican Governors Association offered NO help to Mastriano whatsoever...he had to try and do it all himself, through his grassroots supporters and volunteers.

And the backstabbing...oh the backstabbing that went on within the State and County committees!
