The 2022 Pennsylvania Senate race is not an ideal situation. We have Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz, who has been plagued with a slew of internal issues facing Democratic candidate John Fetterman, the current lieutenant governor, who is recovering from a recent stroke.
Just to vent here a little. Yes, I’ve called this race a dumpster fire due to the appalling lack of depth regarding Republican candidates for statewide office. For all his faults, Pat Toomey is the only candidate as of late where concern about electability wasn’t front-and-center. He appealed to enough suburban voters in the Philly collar counties to win his elections. Toomey won Bucks County, one of the holy grail areas to win statewide, and that was all he had to do.
Is it game over in the Keystone State? No, there’s still time to turn things around in Pennsylvania, which has been a cruel mistress to Republicans for the better part of a quarter century, and one lousy debate from Democratic candidate John Fetterman could bring a whole new ballgame. The lieutenant governor is ignoring those calls for a debate with Oz since his campaign stump speeches are akin to a Biden rally regarding incomprehensible half-thoughts peppered with bouts of yelling.
As crime spikes nationwide, Fetterman should probably consider staffing changes since two are convicted murderers. No, I’m not kidding. He has some chain gang hires convicted of robbery and being accessories to murder; their last names are Horton. Yes, we have another ‘Horton’ public relations fiasco involving the Democratic Party. Of course, the brothers, Lee and Dennis Horton have maintained their innocence. Do you remember the running joke in The Shawshank Redemption?
“Everyone is innocent in here—don’t you know that?”
No surprise they support convicts and like NY mayor & Chicago their arrested for murder and out in hours.
Not a big surprise ‘Uncle Festerman’ favors opening the prisons and letting drugs flow. His parents supported him well into his 40s and he had piles of taxes in arrears. He was carrying a shotgun and chased a black jogger while mayor of his mini town. That’s Penna’s Lt. Gov. and Senator wanna be. There is no such thing as a small stroke and he had a big one in May that kept him from any appearances until the other week. IIRC, he was then able to speak in public for just over 10 minutes. And he refuses to debate Dr. Oz.
Thugs gotta thug!
