He won the primary due to retarded Trump followers who will do anything he says. There was a three way front runner primary. What percentage did Oz get?
I do know PA, you don’t.

Pennsylvanians need to hold their collective noses and vote for Oz. He's only a Senator, and can be replaced in 6 years if he doesn't work out. But many thought the same about Trump in 2016, as I remember all too well. 🙂

We will either be pleasantly surprised or disappointed. However, with Fetterman we know we will be greatly disappointed, but never pleasantly surprised. People need to vote with their brains, not their fears. Oz is the only choice that offers the possibility of a pleasant surprise. 🙂

Being feeble and sickly is of no concern in this government. Fetterman will fit in perfectly. The Senate is full of elderly, feeble and sickly and no one cares. Mitch and crew don’t want to run the Senate. It’s too much trouble and they have almost the same benefits as the RATs. Besides, the GOP Senate is full of people like McConnell, Romney, Graham, Collins, and Murkowski. One of them will always be available to screw things up. The population of Pennsylvania are just like the guy they will elect. The deserve him, they want him and they will have him.

Didn’t GHWB make a similar mistake at a grocery in 1992?

Another Oz hit piece.

There’s no such thing as “non-partisan” in 2022. Absolutely everything is partisan.

Interesting that the Oz/Fetterman margin a couple of weeks ago showed Oz down by an averages of 14% - or more in some cases, and now it appears to be under 9%. So, with the margin narrowing, what kind of “non-partisan” polling organization says that Oz’s chances have decreased?

The job of some of these polls is to provide a headline for the voter who is not yet engaged enough to scrutinize the candidates. That usually happens after Labor Day.

Polling like this isn’t meant to inform voters; it’s meant is to manipulate public opinion. They don’t even hide it.

PA Senate Primary results:

Oz: 31.2%
McCormick: 31.1%
Barnette: 24.7%

There were a total of SEVEN candidates in this primary. The fact that no one got “a third” of the vote isn’t surprising.

Oz is a disaster, but could pull it off due to Fetterman’s condition, as he can’t put a sentence together.

Oz is fine. He'll do a good job.

The difference between us and democrats is democrats TELL their candidates - just like they TELL members of the press - exactly what to say, what words to use and how to 'present'.

Democrats could run Hitler and no one would know it until after the election when their 'winners' pivot to the corrupt police state of DC...bringing hell to earth.

Does not look good for Dr. Oz but it is still early. Fetterman should be an easy target but he has a lot of charisma. The big variable in the race is Fetterman’s physical and mental condition. Not sure where this is but he has certainly been keeping a pretty low profile for such a critical race. He may be cribbing from the Joe Biden playbook by laying low and just letting his opponent immolate himself.

It will be interesting to see how the Trump endorsed candidates fair in the general election.

I’m guessing the Republicans lose seats in the Senate and pick up a few in the House.

Just because the leftist “The Hill” declares the Cook Report poll non-partisan doesn’t make it so, I call BS.

Well, I sent the Oz campaign a hundred bucks last week, may send some more. Not much but retirement checks don’t stretch that far these days. Of course I guess I could to take the advice of the FR Doomers, sit in the corner, whine, and eat worms.

Our minority leaders NEVER wanted to be the majority....Ever! if they did you would see them fighting like wild animals right now. They don’t care they got their cushy job they’re in the DC bubble nothing affects them everything they do is against the American people because we are the ones that are suffering. The rats have everything the media all sorts of tools at their disposal and every institution! But if we would’ve seen some fighting spirit with our leaders I think things would’ve been much different at this point. Richard Baris warned us about the weak spineless scared republican leaders not wanting to fight against the rats in both houses! Their cowardice has done the base in! Backstabbing POS! I don’t think this country can survive more years with the Democrats. It breaks my heart that we are where we’re at this moment. I kept warning everybody don’t celebrate prematurely because there ain’t gonna be no red wave and sure enough as it stands right now it sure is looking that way. You see the Republicans have a horrible way of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. I weep for my grandchildren 😢

I don't disagree. Control of the Senate is crucial. There is, in the Congressional races, more luxury to lose a seat rather than give it to a RINO.

People that didn’t vote for Oz won’t vote for him in a significant percentage.
It’s fine if you disagree, as we’ll find out in November.

It’s still early and if McConnell can’t beat this Fetterman joker he should resign. So far I’ve seen 0 as far as a national message from either McConnell or loser McCarthy.

Trolled and gaslighted, so Oz ain’t perfect, but vote for him he ain’t a Democrap. Lot of this handwringing id coming from the Trump hating RINOs, who are Deep Staters. Vote Oz dammit!

I may not know PA, but I do know math, the fact is, Oz got the most votes. For all your bluster you seem not to realize that. Given how weak Oz is, what does it way about the other candidates who got fewer votes.

So, the millions of people who voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 were brain dead, or they just brain dead in PA.

It’s pretty shortsighted and stupid to call 50% of the electorate brain dead when they support someone you don’t, sounds more like a spoiled democrat
