Say Doug Masterino wins the gubernatorial election in Pennsylvania which appears very possible given the fact that he is polling better than Dr Oz is in his senate race.

Trump wins the GOP nomination in 2024 and picks Doug Masterino as his VP. How would that play out? Also in this senario Biden would be running for re election and would win his re nomination easily.

Trump would never pick him as VP. He has too important a role to play as PA governor.

Only a masochist or a complete idiot would want to be Trump’s VP, after seeing what Trump did to Pence.

Ted Cruz is on the short list for Trump’s VP. I bet he’d do it in a heartbeat

Cruz is one of the most unlikeable politicians in the country.  It's hard to see what he would add to the ticket.

(Also: it's Doug Mastriano.  I fixed it in the thread title.)

He also fits into the latter of TDAS04’s two categories, so you’re not exactly disproving his theory.

Mastriano is not winning, sorry. Red wave or not.

(Also I’ll admit there’s really no point in ignoring you or BG-NY - it’s more symbolic than anything else - because whenever I see a post is Hidden, the temptation gets to me and I see it anyway.)

He would have to get elected first.  He may well win, but he's not a fave as of now, and he'll never be a slam dunk.

He’s doing far better than expected in the first polls. The Dems said it would be a blow out and it looks like he’s only four points behind which is almost within the margin of error.

Mastriano is behind by 4 points in a poll from a pollster that routinely has massive errors in favour of dems. If you think there's no way he can win then you're just basing it off emotions rather than facts.

We'll see who's right in November, shall we? Wink

While the conditions favor Rep's so Mastriano is likely to have a high floor, he's more likely to have a low ceiling. At best I see him winning by about as much as Trump did in 2016 but considering he's alienating anyone who's not a hardcore Trumper, there's a good chance a spoiler could prevent him from winning.

"Scott Walker is not losing.  Blue wave or not."

PA voted 3.5 points right of the NPV in 2020.  This midterm is shaping up to be at least R+4, maybe R+5. PA-GOV is absolutely competitive, and probably the closest race to a toss up in gubernatorial races.  Mastriano won't do any more than 1.5-2 points worse than Oz.

Again - debate me to your heart’s content, but I will be vindicated in November. Candidate quality matters - reminder that in 2014, also a red wave, PA elected a Democrat over the incumbent GOPer to the governorship by 9 points.

Candidate quality doesn't really matter in waves. Joe Walsh won a House seat in suburban Chicago in 2010 for crying out loud. The Corbett comparison doesn't make sense because he was an unpopular incumbent. Mastriano is a challenger, and if anything it's Shapiro who's tied to a somewhat unpopular governor.

I'll be sure to inform Senator Sharron Angle of that fact. Obviously a red wave would make Mastriano more likely to win than if there wasn't a wave, but the fact that it's a wave doesn't mean he's suddenly as good a candidate as they could have otherwise nominated.

Mastriano is still largely undefined with swing voters and he may very well bomb badly in the Philly suburbs.
