Bingo. And that’s also why Pennsylvania went for Reagan. Reagan had a good campaign staff. So did Fetterman. Reagan was likeable. So was Fetterman.
Oz was the opposite of all that.
Then there was Democrat shenanigans (see my tagline). But I really don’t see that as the deciding factor in the Fetterman/Oz race. Those who doubt that, please see my post #31.
Exactly. As a TV celebrity, Oz came across as someone in the election for his own glory - an opportunist who’d moved to PA to run for office.
Fetterman came across as a real Pennsylvanian who cared about the state.
There’s another factor: Democrat voters circle their wagons. They stick together and vote for the Dem, no matter what, even when their candidate is in poor health.
We Republicans tear down our own candidates.
Wasn’t Trump pushing Oz?
Oz was a celebrity. Trump thought celebrity wins?
