Oz drops Trump branding in general election shift

I agree with you. The Republican party is infested with spineless people who will always go along with the Democrats so they can be "part of the club." They will use Trump for his endorsement because they know the people support him and that his support will get them a lot of votes they otherwise would not have gotten. Then when they are elected, they will turn their back on him because it is more important for them to get invited to the Beltway cocktail parties and be in the club.

Swamp creatures. They make me sick.

First, this is from Axioms. They will spin this as anti-Trump as they can.

Second, this could be what the plan is for the election. Primaries are partisan, and elections are more about the middle.

While Oz is no Josh Hawley, he’s what we have, and we have to win in PA.

[Tell It Right]

The nothingburger is the fact that Oz is just one. The Dims have many doing the same thing. But the left doesn’t want you to see how fractured they are. That’s the bigger story than just one Republican distancing himself from Trump as he heads to the general election.

He won’t win in corrupt Pennsylvania.

[Cboldt]

He’s in it for himself, and will do well for himself no matter which way the election runs.

His puppet masters are working on lines for his act.

Oz: muslim’s answer to mitt romney.

What?! Oz isn’t a real conservative?!

[Alberta's Child]

I didn’t vote for the guy but I think you are 100% wrong on this. Of all the top GOP contenders in that race, Oz has the best chance of winning a statewide election in PA.

“What?! Oz isn’t a real conservative?!”

I’m shocked at such a revelation.

[dfwgator]

The Senate will never be MAGA, it is what it is.

Wait-—I went onto Oz’s site——this article is BS. Here’s a page on Trump. Damn...I can’t believe anything anymore!!!

Hey, all of a sudden I’ve got a new tagline.

Maybe Pennsylvania is not as red (or purple) as people thought?

The one downside to Trump winning PA in 2016 is that it deluded a lot of people into thinking the place is a conservative stronghold. It’s not. It has some of the “reddest” counties in the U.S. but they are small, rural, and — importantly — they’ve been declining for years.

There are 67 counties in Pennsylvania. At least 45 of them lost population between the 2010 and 2020 census years. And those were almost all RED counties.

Barnette voter here....Why Trump picked this Azz is beyond me

Because Trump's buddy Hannity has been pushing ozzzzz for months. Ozzzz claims Trump played 20 questions with him, I have my doubts. Trump has a history of picking wrong people.

[shooter223]

Oz has always seemed kind of slimy to me, in a used car salesman kind of way.

[rlmorel]

It certainly shows who he is, and what kind of person he is. Not that there was much confusion or doubt on the matter.

Well, if he does manage to win, perhaps he can help get the Senate back and we might get committees back, but with the likes of Cornyn, Collins, Murkowski, McConnell, and Romney, that won’t be worth a cup of warm spit.

And Oz, if elected, will vote with the Democrats every time, because that is who he is. And he will be there for life, like McCain, and will vote the same way. And will be the same anti-American traitorous scum that McCain was. For Life.

But they got him on the ballot, and there it is.

[Wallace T.]

Like Brian Kemp in Georgia, Oz may lose this election by dissing hard core Trump voters. Kathy Barnette won 25% of the primary vote. While moving to the center for the general election is an old political tactic, it may not work with a more polarized electorate, especially on the Right.

Phony liberal basturd!!!!!

[EEGator]

I wonder if the article was incorrect/lying, or if it was put back?
Either way I don’t really care. I’m not voting for Turkish Mitt Romney.

[TangoLimaSierra]

The fable of the Arab and the Camel.

My whole takeaway on that is; "Holy carp, a talking camel".
