PA-SN 2022 megathread: Shrek vs. The Wizard of Oz

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

If Oz campaigns as a Trumpist America First candidate like Walker, I will support him. Not if he's a weak neocon McConnell cuck who just wants tax cuts.

.
Lol he's not Dr Phil, he will Lose with Shapiro running

[GALeftist]

What does Dr. Oz even believe?

[Ferguson97]

This is only a rumor I'm personally hearing from GOP insiders I know and trust, but said sources that tell me this are generally pretty reliable. People online are saying this too and certain tabloids are hyping this up, but again- I trust the insider sources, and not the tabloids.

Apparently he could specifically  specifically announce this on Hannity in the next few days. I still wouldn't get too cocky to bet on it, but it honestly seems ever more likely by each passing day.

Announcing on Hannity rather than Tucker leads me to believe he'll run as a traditional muh economy muh socialism Republican. Ugh, hopefully someone better wins the primary.

He's a suburban Republican.

However, Enes Kanter went on Tucker recently and he is hardly a populist national conservative. You overestimate the political implications of someone appearing on a certain news anchor's show.

He should run in New Jersey, where he lives. He doesn't live in PA.

He should run against Bob Menendez in 2024, he could give the NJGOP their first Senate win since 1972.

I'd like to agree with you, but if Oz announces that run on Fox anytime soon.... I don't think he runs against corrupt Bob.

True...he should announce he is spending the next 2 years running against Menendez in NJ in 2024 and he will endorse some other Pennsylvania Republican.

Oz can beat Menendez 52%-48% in deep blue NJ and hold a Republican to 10 points in the presidential if Oz is on the 2024 slate in NJ...

Oz would flip Bergen, Middlesex and romp in South Jersey.

In no universe does Oz flip Bergen County or even come close to winning.

[MRS DONNA SHALALA]

Are there any other prominent GOP Muslims? I can't think of any active ones.

We live in a clown world.

This country is finished

Bergen can flip Republican under the right circumstances. Murphy barely won the county this year against Ciattarelli in 2021.

Christie Whitman and Bob Franks are the last Republicans to carry Bergen in a Senate election.

[THG]

It’s official! My sources were right again.

I think he will announce it on Fox tonight, earlier than expected.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

He just published an op-ed in the Washington Examiner announcing his candidacy.

Edit: Just read it. It's about 8 paragraphs of nonsense. Half of it is patting himself on the back for having a TV show, half of it is vague fist-shaking at "The Elites" for shuttering the country during the pandemic (which he also acknowledges killed a lot of people)

He praises the vaccines (which he specifically gives credit to Trump for) so that means he's going nowhere with the Trumpists. If he touts the vaccine on the campaign trail, he's screwed.

Lazy article from a guy who clearly knows nothing about Pennsylvania or policy in general and is doing this as a clear publicity stunt.

Yup, I saw that. He also filed paperwork.

I didn’t expect him to announce it this early today, but my sources were accurate.

What are the odds that he polls at 10% or higher?

100%

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

His initial pitch seems strong.

[BigSerg]

It's over, I am 100% sure he will win the primary

That issues page is some of the most embarrassing sh**t I've ever read. This is especially egregious:

RESTORE OUR FAITH
Dr. Oz has given back – he founded HealthCorps which provides health education and mentoring to underserved communities. Unlike politicians who talk a big game about helping our communities and restoring the “middle layers” of society – Dr. Oz has spent his life doing his part to serve his country. Dr. Oz also believes that we need to expand the role of religious institutions, non-profits, and community groups in providing support for stronger families and neighborhoods. That’s how we combat our underlying emotional sickness that leads to Opioid addiction and isolation.

I wonder why he doesn't mention his own faith...

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

What does he mean by "telling the truth about Covid"?

[GALeftist]

It's over, I am 100% sure he will win the primary

Probably the general, too, since we live in hell. I can only see him doing astoundingly well or crashing and burning spectacularly, and I'm not super optimistic.

It'll be hilarious if the first Muslim senator is a Republican, tbh.

Atleast with Carson he was actually a top tier surgeon, not a pseudoscience peddler
