Trump seems unduly impressed with celebrities.

Or, he fully analyzed the politics and electorate voting patterns of Pennsylvania and concluded that Oz was the best possible choice.

Add to that possibility that both the Moderate Republican candidate for Senator and the much more Conservative Republican candidate for Governor both lost. So, maybe, just maybe, no Republican was going to win in Pennsylvania. Did you ever think about that?

I believe the Voter Fraud in Pennsylvania, which is well known and documented, coupled with the Deep Purple nature of the Pennsylvania Voting Electorate combined to make it impossible for a GOP candidate to win most, if not all, statewide positions.

And yet here we are trying to lay the blame on President Trump, the hardest campaigning American by far for MAGA.

This is shameful!

Yes, I did, for example

“....

Fetterman long ago sold the idea to predominantly white blue-collar Pennsylvanians that he was one of them. Facts don’t matter here, the fact that these blue-collar guys\gals all supported Trump in 2016 doesn’t matter either. Too many of them emotionally bought into the carefully crafted Fetterman image. They look at him and they see union vs management and he’s one of them. Oz was the political equivalent of bringing a Rubik’s Cube 3-D puzzle piece to a standard Milton Bradley 2-D puzzle. Not only he was just barely a Pennsylvanian but something “odd”. His celebrity meant nothing to them it came from a chick show. I was shocked that Trump picked Oz I knew he wouldn’t resonate with the guys at bars in Greensboro, Point Marion or up toward Uniontown. Trump in 2016 seemed to have “the touch” in regard to blue collar sensitivities. He certainly didn’t show it there! (I think he has a weakness toward celebrities, too impressed by them!) Actually, I think no one in the GOP Pa primary would have beaten Fetterman too many are too far bought into the image.

And

“...

My son-in-law’s family is from the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre region of Pennsylvania. He tells me those relatives are all Fetterman fans. They too think he’s one of them. You try to dissuade them, they get mad!

I hoped my two sample points were wrong and there were enough suburban soccer moms to make them irrelevant. Looks like that was wishful thing on my part.

And I doubt seriously if Trump did any in-depth political analysis of the Pennsylvania electorate. What analysis he did probably went like this - Oz is my pal I like Oz he’s a celebrity, he’ll win! He didn’t!

I don’t think Trump does in-depth analysis. (At least not anymore!) What in-depth analysis says start a public pissing contest with DeSantis & Youngkin?
