No they weren’t. OZ was a crap candidate who had no shot at winning.
Need to stop listening to the flappy lipped idiots out of DC and NYC feeding you crap.
PA makeup is
46D
38R
15I
You want to win statewide as a R in PA you need to get every R vote that exists and win I’s by more than 2 to 1 and/or peel off a crapload of conservative/moderate D’s. OZ had Zero shot at pulling it off. He was a giant turd. Handed 2 miracles (Fetterman’s stroke and more than $100,000,000 spent pushing him) and still could not win.
OZ lost, flat out.. horrible crap candidate who has ZERO shot at a statewide win in PA as an R.. Need to stop listening to idiots like Hannity telling you how PA works… carpetbagging fraud was DOA. OZ with 100,000,000 wasted on him not only lost PA but that money spent trying to push that turd cost other winnable races where the money could have made a difference.
D in 2022 actually put 40k fewer votes in the box than the last mid term senate races, and still beat the turd OZ by more than 270k votes…. OZ was a crap candidate.
GA is a similar story. Though not as off brand as OZ, he had his own set of problems
You and I have had this discussion before. We both agreed about Oz as a candidate in the primaries. But, that doesn’t change the fact that Festerman was so ghastly, so dreadful and so unbelievably incompetent mentally. He absolutely lost, and it was fixed for him to win (Senate Demonrats explicitly telegraphed to the public that they were not only going to “magically” hold all their seats, but would “add one.”). In a state that Trump actually won by 600,000 votes in 2020, it was not hard to see what was going to be done in order to place this retarded imbecile in a GOP seat.
As for state party registration, I dismiss that out of hand. Those often do not reflect actual voter preference. Many states here in the South, for example, recently showed out-of-whack party registration as Dems, long after many have abandoned that party. PA is a Republican state, but because of corrupt forces (including the State Supreme Court) and infamous voter fraud, theft of GOP races is rampant.
GA, as I addressed, has the problem of a corrupt RINO Governor who makes deals with the Demonrats, gifting them both Senate seats in order to maintain his own personal power and theirs. Also see a similar situation in NH with the corrupt Gov. Sununu. Many of these RINOs are very dirty, including “Zero’s Bitch Mitch” McConnell. He seemed quite happy to sit by while over a dozen Republican Senate seats were stolen in just 3 cycles.
How many early votes did Fetterman manufacture ? Issues no longer matter. The Dems are focused on process. Ballot harvesting and ghost voters.
Fetterman took out Connor Lamb in the primary using the same system. The quality of the candidates is irrelevant. Despite the cheating, Fetterman only received 51% of the vote.
