“Mastriano had no real chance to win, but he was our candidate for governor.
Dr. Oz had no real chance to win, but he was our candidate for the Senate.”
Amen brother.. OZ was by far the worst, off brand, candidate I have ever seen run for statewide office as an R in my nearly 40 years of living in PA..No one, and I mean NO ONE, I spoke to had any excitement for this yokel... Basically best you got was... Well at least he’s not Fetterman.. yet, they spent 100,000,000 trying to shine that turd, and way too many folks here listened to floppy lipped idiots out of NYC/DC telling them he was a winner. The PUSH of OZ not only guaranteed PA senate seat was lost, but money spent trying to sell him was diverted from races where it could have actually made a difference, costing many close races.
Mastriano never stood a chance as well, never seen a more horribly run campaign... “Oh, I will only speak to friendly media”.... What? The party establishment didn’t want him, were never going to give him anything but lip service, and he didn’t do anything to help himself either.
And not only did Mastriano, and the REPUBLICAN LEGISLATURE give us mail in voting... but Mastriano’s initial response to covid was to argue that HIPPA laws should be suspended because Covid was just too dangerous.. he was not a man who’s first impulse was LIBERTY...

I was at a Mastriano event last summer, which took place in a small town. We waited and waited for him. It turned out he was trying to find a back door to get in. The media was out front, and he didn’t want to talk to them. He did that every where.
