Why do PAGOP have such a hard time finding someone who lives in PA lol
They wouldn't nominate a better candidate like Fitzpatrick. He'd lose the primary in a landslide. Also seems like the Republican bench in Pennsylvania is underwhelming.
The bench is underwhelming, and the PA GOP doesn't have any candidates from the population centers (Philly metro and Pittsburgh metro) that can win both a primary and general election. Fitzpatrick would absolutely win a general, but he would be toast in the primary.
