Pennsylvania: GOP Establishment Fundraises for Democrat in Governor’s Race vs. Trump-Endorsed Doug Mastriano
ussanews.com ^ | 9/25/22

Posted on 09/25/2022 1:58:20 PM PDT by cotton1706

The GOP establishment is selling out their own party’s Trump-endorsed nominee for Governor of Pennsylvania, Doug Mastriano, and is now fundraising for Democrat Josh Shapiro. Throughout the nominating process and now the general election, the GOP establishment has publicly opposed Mastriano, one of the America First movement’s staunchest supporters, whose campaign the establishment has been unable to control.

Failed GOP establishment candidate Jeff Bartos attended a September 21st fundraiser for far-left Democrat gubernatorial nominee Josh Shapiro. Treacherous Republican Josh Bartos wasn’t just any old attendee at the Democrat fundraiser though. In fact, it was hosted by his wife, and the pair appear to be directly aiding the campaign of left-wing Democrat Josh Shapiro.

As Pennsylvania’s current Attorney General, Shapiro has been a devout defender of the state’s disastrous 2020 election and draconian COVID shutdowns – some of the worst in the country. Now, facing a massive groundswell of support for his America First opponent Doug Mastriano, who is surging in the polls, Shapiro is publicly courting the GOP establishment, hoping for a ballot box bailout.

I don’t know why these GOP losers in Pennsylvania even bother raising money for Shapiro. Mastriano has turned out to be an awful candidate up to this point.

If you talk to anyone outside Mastriano’s state legislative district, it seems the only thing they know about him is what they hear from Shapiro’s campaign ads. It doesn’t get much worse than that in politics.

More proof the GOPe were in on the steal. Who do they think they are fooling. We need to be on our toes so they don’t steal this one too.

The GOPe is the Inside The Beltway Uni-Party. They’d support Hitler before they’d help a Trump candidate.

Glad I never donated a dime to them.

What is going on in PA? I have had heard others like Hershel Walker, state the GOP cut off funding. I hated the GOP with Romney’s relative.

Jeff Bartos seems to be a real snake in the grass.

It is Jeff’s wife who is leading the fundraiser and for all we know is a democrat. Bartos was never a establishment candidate. I think he was always half dem working class talking points. He opposed Wolf on lockdowns big time but I’m not sure he is conservative.

The GOPe would rather lose than win with Trump.

It’s a Uni-Party with incumbents. They only care about keeping their power. Trump threatens that.

Right after the 2020 steal, these a$$holes began to self identify.
They still had and have enough low IQ republiCANT voters that will still vote for them, no matter what because... because... Well, just because.
However, there are more of us then there are them.
They will eventually switch parties and become the socialists that they really are.

I don’t know who Bartos is but he damned well better be done as a candidate for anything on the Republican line.

I like Mastriano. I like what he did in the pandemic. I like his policy positions. Unfortunately, part of being a winning candidate is fundraising. Mastriano has done a poor job. We’re still waiting for his first TV ad, although I get a text every day wanting me to pay for it. If that’s what they’re waiting for, well, I guess there won’t be any TV advertising. Sorry, I just don’t have the money.

None of our guys are good fund raisers, the ones who are have been bought by people who only give money to those who toe the line. At some point that cycle needs to change. Beg for money, get elected, get sworn in, start fund raising. That’s why nothing ever gets accomplished.
