When they do a post-mortem on the PA election results, I think you will be shocked to find out how many people voted for Trump in 2016/2020 and Fetterman in 2022. 2016 might have been the last year the state GOP had its act together; I believe Trump was the first GOP candidate in history to win every PA county in the Republican primary that year.

In 2022 you had no cohesive leadership in PA to push the misfit and loser candidates out of the primary process.

I also think Mastriano was a major drag on the GOP ticket. He may have been the most awful candidate in the entire country during this election cycle. I was stunned to see him get even 40% of the vote.

“I also think Mastriano was a major drag on the GOP ticket.”

Agree. He’s probably a decent man with a good heart and great ideas. But he comes across as a dork, and not forceful enough to entice people to his side. I could listen to him with no problem, but watching him ... nope. No confidence.
