When you choose the electable candidate, you lose most of teh time. When you choose the one the RINOs say is unelectable, you win more often than not.
at this point, imho, she’s the only republican who can win. populist/nationalists won’t turn out for the uniparty Oz or McCormick.

Thank you JD Rucker, for stating exactly what has been on my mind. PA voters, don’t be chumps!!! Vote KATHY BARNETTE and be proud of your choice!
Kathy is the real deal
Bravo. Nailed it. Yes my freezers, if you want a Romney vite oz, if you want a Trump vote Kathy.
Oh boy, my spelling indicates I stayed up way too late
Wonder what Hannity will say if she’s elected? This is a great year to have an “R” next to your name.
All is forgiven. Just make sure DeSantis stays healthy. Washington DC needs an enema. We get enough conservatives in Congress this trend may end peacefully, otherwise not so much.
(Yes my freezers)
That’s cold 🥶 🥶🥶🥶
😛😁😂🤣
She will be running against the democrat AND the GOP elite. I wish her luck. If she’s the nominee, she has my vote.
Trump won twice..
Might go down in Freeper history,, with the classics.
Hugh and series. Stun my beeber.
Freezers unite!
“Oh boy, my spelling indicates I stayed up way too late”
************************************************
OK, my FReezers, onward to victory!🥰
Frozen vitamins by the ounce???
A murderer like Ted Kennedy is “electable”
A stolen valor man named Blumenthal is “electable”
Don’t tell me that Barnette is not electable.
Besides, I would rather lose with Barnette than win the seat with Oz
I seem to recall Kathy was pretty damned vocal in the anti-Trump chorus for four years. This lady is Obama in a skirt. Beware. If someone is saying exactly what you want to hear about everything, ...... they’re lyin’.
I seem to recall that there were a LOT of Freepers who were pretty damn vocal in the anti-Trump chorus.
I myself had my doubts but in the end it was better than voting for Hillary.
Pennsylvania U.S. Senate candidate Kathy Barnette appears to have been caught making a false claim about voting for Donald Trump during the 2016 primaries.
In an interview on the Chris Stigall show, Barnette was asked about her first vote in the state of Pennsylvania, to which she responded that she voted for Trump in the 2016 primaries.
“The one that really pops out in my mind is 2016 for the primary for President Trump, as well as for the general election for President Trump,” she said on the show.
While Barnette might be telling the truth about her primary vote, her comments certainly contradict what she herself wrote in her past memoir, as Republican strategist Matt Wolking, who works with Pennsylvania Senate candidate David McCormick, pointed out on Thursday.
“Praise God for second chances,” she wrote in her book. “Though I didn’t vote for Trump in the primaries, by the time the general election rolled around I was firmly on the first car of the Trump train.
In the book she published in 2020, Kathy Barnette wrote that “I didn’t vote for Trump in the primaries.”

Whether Barnette meant to intentionally mislead during the interview or if she simply misspoke remains unknown, but falsely claiming to have voted for Trump in the 2016 primary as a MAGA badge of pride makes for a rather odd hill to die on considering some of the president’s most ardent supporters initially opposed him (some quite virulently) in the primary. Some, such as Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance, outright opposed his candidacy and yet still found the president’s favor after changing course. Aside from the passage in her book, Barnette’s past tweets show that she firmly opposed President Trump throughout the primary, routinely knocking his moral character and demeanor.
@Mark60644 Did u c d last Presidential Debate. #Trump2016 was horrid. Even #Rubio challenged d moderator 2 ask him a demanding question.

#Trump2016 is good 4 beers & barbeque. BUT, not as President.
WE r so morally bankrupt WE c/n c d differ http://t.co/djJRNDlJ2C #WAARadio

@Mark60644 #Trump2016 is JUST AS LIBERAL as d leaders we currently hv n office. #MoralityMatters & Trump does not rank high in it…
— Kathy Barnette (@Kathy4Truth) September 27, 2015
@Mark60644 NO, we have #Cruz & #BenCarson. I like #Trump2016…he’s a riot. But, he’s nothing more than HEADLINES…very little substance.
— Kathy Barnette (@Kathy4Truth) September 27, 2015
#Trump2016 moral character is questionable!
Braggadocious+constant jabs+4 bankrup+brags bending rules. http://t.co/djJRNDlJ2C #WAARadio

I agree, there is a real disconnect, for me, in #DrBenCarson endorsing #Trump over #Cruz.
Yet, I can’t throw… https://t.co/oh8JDN76yU

Whatever her past positions on Trump, Barnette has been vocal in her support of the former president throughout the campaign.
Barnette’s dubious comments come after questions have been raised regarding her military service and after Trump publicly said she would have a tough time winning the general election against Lt. Gov. John Fetterman.
“Kathy Barnette will never be able to win the General Election against the Radical Left Democrats,” Trump stated, noting that she has “many things in her past which have not been properly explained or vetted, but if she is able to do so, she will have a wonderful future in the Republican Party—and I will be behind her all the way.”
UPDATE 5-13-22 10:27 a.m. ET:
After the publication of this article, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette uncovered that Barnette did not even vote at all in Pennsylvania in 2016–in the primary or the general election:
Another lie:
“Despite her staunch support for Mr. Trump, she didn’t vote in Pennsylvania in 2016, according to state voter records. Ms. Barnette registered to vote in Pennsylvania in August 2015, but didn’t vote until 2018, according to voter rolls.”https://t.co/9PaoP7PNT6
— Matt Wolking (@MattWolking) May 13, 2022
This means that she did not, per voting records from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, vote for Trump–or anyone else–in 2016.
So far, in my area of Pa (Indiana and Westmoreland counties) I have seen mostly Barnette signs. Yesterday I saw a bunch of McCormick signs (all on the same lawn) and no Oz signs at all. I have only seen Mastriano signs for governor. I am voting for Barletta, but if Mastriano wins the primary, I will gladly vote for him.
