| The media was negligent on Santos and Fetterman. But for different reasons. They didn’t do due diligence on Santos because they didn’t think a Republican could win that seat. They didn’t do their due diligence on Fetterman because they didn’t WANT a Republican to win that seat. On paper Oz was such an objectively better candidate than Fetterman, even before these stroke. Sure he was a carpetbagger, but there’s a long tradition of that in the Senate. |
Oz is a forced birther. Fetterman is not. That was a huge issue in the mid terms and will continue to be a very significant issue. If ore it if you must but you are ignoring reality . |
I mean “on paper” Dr. Oz went on TV and said he should have the same right as a woman or a doctor to make a choice about abortion, so no I’m not buying he was the “objectively better candidate” running in a state where most people believe abortion should be legal in most or all cases (per Pew) in the year Roe fell. |
Pennsylvania voters chose an established Democratic politician who had won previous elections over a Republican carpetbagger. |
Being mayor of a dying town of 20,000 people or a no-show LT. Gov of any state doesn’t make you established. He keeps falling up the stairs. Being a world renowned surgeon and successful entrepreneur, now that makes you established. |
No it PA Oz. You don't understand the state you claim to want to represent. |
Oz was a carpetbagger from New Jersey who didn't even live in PA and barely ever even spent any time there. |
Well given how many tens of thousands of people who have fled Pennsylvania after 10+ years of Democrat governors you’d think they’d welcome any new comer with open arms |
Well then you would think wrong. |
Exactly. |
We hear about it from Greg Abbott of Texas!! He said it was his number one priority for the state! …and he failed. Rape rates remain the same, prosecution rates are dismal. So is Abbott just a really, really ineffective governor who can’t even accomplish his highest priority? Will voters hold him accountable for his failure? |
The govt needs to multitask. Women's rights need to be returned. This is a critical issue that drove a lot of voting in the mid terms and forced birthers were kept out of office. Crime, gun control and other safety issues are also very important. They did not impact the mid term elections to the same extent as reproductive rights issue. This is why we have elections. It seems clear the reporductive rights are a winning election issue but the republicans refuse to cultivate and run pro choice candidates. |
+1. Fetterman beat Oz comfortably. And I dare say that many of the people who voted for Fetterman thought they he was a better Senator even impaired after a stroke than snake oil hawking, carpetbagging fraudster, Turkish dual national Oz could ever be |
No evidence. |
When Greg Abbott made ending rape in Texas his stated #1 priority it had no impact on rape in Texas. He’s no Democrat. |
