Barletta is better than Mastriano. He's better on the issues, he's more electable and Doug seems like a bit of a grifter.

Problem for Barletta is Corman was polling at like 3-5%. It will give him a tiny boost but nowhere near enough. Barletta needs someone like McSwain or White to do the same.

Breaking News: Jake Corman is reportedly going to announce on talk radio that he is dropping out of the race tomorrow and endorsing Barletta.

Someone change the title to Corman OUT then back in then back OUT

Trump says on Truth Social he's endorsing in this race "soon" but at this point, it won't even matter. We're down to 4 days before the election.

Melissa Hart out, endorses Barletta. It seems like the movement to stop Mastriano is uniting behind Barletta, but it may be too late.

If they want to stop Mastriano they'll need more than Corman's and Hart's combined 43 supporters

Either the GOP will look like massive idiots after this, or Mastriano will pull this out and every D-PA on Atlas moves to New Jersey.

The PA GOP is only better at campaigns than 45 state Democratic parties, which is sh**t for a GOP affiliate. Barletta is possibly the only candidate worse than Mastriano.

Imagine Virginia last year if Amanda Chase won the nomination instead of Youngkin...the Dems doom conversation would be a bit different.

And as bad as McAuliffe was, he would have won had he not gone brain dead with his parents in education remark.

I wish politicians weren't so dumb about political cycles and picking their moments.

Prior to 2018, Barletta's record was that of nearly unseating a multi-decade incumbent in a Kerry district that included both Wilkes-Barre and Scranton as a Dem vote sink in NE PA, in 2008. Then actually taking the seat in 2010.

He has a long history of support with working class white voters and even considering realignments, these are still massively important in Pennsylvania.

And Shapiro like Mark Kelly and Fetterman are our best recruit it's gonna be difficult when we have won PA consistently for Rs to win back PA they only won because D's errored in 2016 not to nominate Sestak whom was beating Pat Toomey in all the polls and nominated Kate McGinty

I would not be so confident. I no longer see any candidate as unelectable.

Neither Lake nor Mastriano are high quality candidates, but Lake actually has a local news background that could appeal to people enough to possibly win. Meanwhile, Mastriano looks angry and someone could not be possibly fooled into thinking they weren’t crazy. Sharron Angle vibes here.

My theory on why Trump won't endorse:

  • Doesn't like Mastriano since he voted for the voter ID legislation in 2020
  • Thinks Barletta is a loser for losing to Bob Casey in 2018 by double digits in what could've been a perfectly winnable race in Trump's eyes
  • White is polling too low for Trump to endorse in order to protect his endorsement record, despite White likely being Trump's favorite in the race


Well this didn't age well, although I guess I was still (maybe?) right about his views on Barletta and White. Guess if he wanted to protect his precious endorsement record then he didn't really have a choice on endorsing Mastriano.

And with Mastriano now at a 10 point lead over Barletta in the Trafalgar poll, I think it's safe to say that as of now, Mastriano is the clear favorite for the nomination.

If Mastriano is the GOP nominee, Shapiro probably will gain the slight edge but it's still clearly a toss-up.

The margins in the suburbs for a Shapiro v Mastriano are going to be very interesting.

Yup. Safe D. Far-right ultra MAGA insurrectionist Qanon conspiracy theorist Mastriano will do 10 points worse in the suburbs than Trump. Trump is practically Mitt Romney compared to him.

Inflation and the poor economy will be enough imo to pull Doug Mastriano over the finish line by about 2%. He will be crushed in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh suburbs, but will get North Korea style margins in the rural areas that will be enough to overcome suburban losses.

Maybe if Shapiro was a generic D, but he's had a history of overperforming in areas like Luzerne where Ds have collapsed in recent years, so I wouldn't be so sure.
