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

[KaiserDave]

I’m still on board with Reschenthaler, because the others are too moderate for me.

As Reschenthaler's constituent, you do NOT want this guy in the U.S. Senate.

He seems like the PA version of Mike Gallagher. It's not like we're talking about Senator Doug Mastriano here, are we?

Truly a sane Republican

That's not much different than what we hear Ron DeSantis and Dan Crenshaw talk about. That doesn't bother me.

Sad

[AGA]

I will watch this race with great interest.

How well would Fetterman perform in Chester County, PA in the general election?

He'd still probably win it, but by less than Biden. Depends on the opponent.

Then I guess we'll have to agree to disagree here.

Yeah and they are both craven apologists for our Nazi president too. But go ahead and nominate him, because as a Dem I would v much like to win

About what? Fascism? Fascist enablers? Are we going to "agree to disagree" about the failed coup that the President incited that killed 5 people this week?

[GALeftist]

Enthusiastically endorsed. Fetterman/Casey Jr. would be an amazing Senate delegation.

Actually, I believe the president should be impeached or removed from office via the 25th amendment. I also believe it is time for Republicans to move on from him. The party should come down hard on the likes of Mo Brooks and Marjorie Taylor Greene and let the real Republicans like Dan Crenshaw and Guy Reschenthaler take control of the party again.

And not all 73 million people who voted for Trump are fanatical devotees of the president who cheered the coup attempt.

So just to be clear--you think Trump is a threat to democracy and the people who are at the most incredibly extreme end of devotion to him are bad...but the likes of Dan Crenshaw and Guy Reschenthaler are okay? What exactly separates Dan Crenshaw from Mo Brooks in terms of devotion to Trump? In the last 4 years, where have Crenshaw, DeSantis, Reschenthaler, etc deviated from Trump on crucial issues? Because that is an INCREDIBLE distinction you just made.

I supported Trump for his tax cuts, judges, and Israel policies. What I didn't like was the insane rambling on Twitter, the conspiracy theorizing etc. If Trump was focused more on the former than the latter, he would have won re-election. A lot of otherwise reliable Republican voters just don't want an unstable narcissist in office but will still vote for the policies of the GOP.

People like Crenshaw or DeSantis seem more like ass-kissers who like Trump's policies but privately think he's bad for the GOP's long-term prospects. They aren't baselessly claiming that the riot was an Antifa false flag. Mo Brooks on the other hand is a true believer who spouts every QAnon conspiracy theory known to man. It would do a great service for the mainstream Republican wing to stand up to the crazies and show they aren't really one of them.

[President Johnson]

I would actually support Fetterman. He's one of the best members of the progressive wing, and having him in the senate would add an important voice to the body and the Democratic conference. What I like most about him is his authenticity. And while he's a progressive, he's not the kind of guy who trashes more moderate Democrats. He would make an excellent senator.

For the governorship, I think either Josh Shapiro or Conor Lamb would make the strongest Democratic candidates.

Fetterman will win this race, just like Casey is unbeatable, so is Fetterman

I'm crossing Costello of the list of serious candidates

He's not winning the nomination, and if he did, he'd collapse with the base.

Serious candidates don't desperately post attention seeking tweets

Oh I loved Sheetz when I lived in PA.  I miss it terribly!

[Sestak]

Ughhh no run for Governor
We need Shapiro for Senate

Hasn’t the assumption for quite a while been that they’re going to split the offices the other way?

[Oregon Eagle Politics]

Shapiro for Senate, Fetterman for Governor!

How about Wolf for Senate and Fetterman for gov.?

Wolf isn't really interested in higher office. He will be over 70.

John Hickenlooper is 68.

[free my dawg]

Enthusiastically endorsed. Fetterman would 100% have won in 2016.
