PA governor's race: Doug Mastriano could ride election denial to win

excerpt:

"Doug Mastriano, a leading Republican candidate for Pennsylvania governor, is also a leading election denier.

His supporters love him for it, but critics say his base of supporters won’t help him carry the suburban and urban voters he will need to win a general election against Democrat Josh Shapiro.

Mastriano leads GOP candidates among rural voters who are typically in the 50-64 age range, according to polls, but former Congressman Lou Barletta leads in all other age groups and among suburban and urban voters.

The margin between Mastriano and Barletta is razor thin, according to the latest poll from Emerson College and The Hill."

 

When Trump endorsed Dr. Oz, he may not have been aware of his Turkish background and that demographics show about 99% of people in Turkey are Muslim.

It doesn't sit well in the minds of Trump's followers after he conditioned them with his rhetoric which included calling for an outright ban of Muslims entering the U.S.

And he’s sitting on $130 million from campaign contributions?? He has no intentions of paying ABSOLUTELY NO ONE!!

 

Oz should be condemning Trump, the one who endorsed him and whose anti-Muslim rhetoric helped make it possible for Oz's campaign opponents to criticize him.

“I know when I’m being overcharged,” Trump said in the interview. “Other people don’t and they’re suckers.”

 

'Reprehensible': Oz condemns GOP opponent's tweet on Islam

excerpt:

"For months, the race for the Republican nomination for Pennsylvania's open Senate seat has been an expensive fight between former hedge fund CEO David McCormick and Oz, who have spent millions of dollars attacking each other on television. Each has also faced questions about their ties to Pennsylvania. McCormick grew up in the state, while Oz went to medical school there and was married in Philadelphia.

But in the final days of the Republican primary, a third candidate — Barnette, a conservative commentator who has courted hard-line pro-Trump groups — has emerged. Trump himself has warned that Barnette's background hasn't been properly vetted."

 

Trump supposedly concerned about properly vetting someone.

 

Interesting response to Roe v Wade

 

Trump set the stage for Roe’s demise. For now, he doesn’t wanna talk about it.

excerpt:

"It should be Donald Trump’s crowning achievement, one that fulfilled the deepest wish many conservatives have held for generations.

Three of the Supreme Court justices appointed by the former president signed onto the initial draft opinion that appears to signal the end of the landmark abortions right case, Roe v. Wade.

But at a moment of seeming triumph, the normally braggadocious Trump has been subdued.

The former president, never one to shy away from taking credit for accomplishments, real or imagined, has yet to crow about the majority draft opinion. And when asked about it in interviews, he steered clear of anything resembling a victory lap. Instead, he expressed displeasure that the draft leaked and sidestepped weighing in on the issue of abortion rights. On Wednesday night at Mar-a-Lago, he told POLITICO he was waiting to see “finality” in the case."

 

Trump set the stage for Roe’s demise. For now, he doesn’t wanna talk about it.

excerpt:

"Born into wealth and living in a penthouse atop a Manhattan skyscraper emblazoned with his name in gold, Trump has long been the least likely representative of deep-red America. He described himself in 1999 as “very pro-choice” but then switched to being an abortion opponent when he became a Republican before seeking the party’s nomination in 2016.

In March 2016, he went so far as to suggest that a woman who had an abortion should be criminally punished, a claim he quickly walked back. Days later, he was asked by the New York Times’ Maureen Dowd if he was ever involved with anyone who had an abortion.

“Such an interesting question,” the candidate told her. “So what’s your next question?”:

 

Trump set the stage for Roe’s demise. For now, he doesn’t wanna talk about it.

excerpt:

"While Trump may be reluctant, for now, to talk about the impending end of Roe, he clearly wants to keep his ties to the religious right intact. In that CBN interview, he proudly proclaimed: “Nobody has done more for Christianity, no one has done more for religion of all types than me.”"

 

He’s the last one to be talking about someone’s background!!!

Opinion | Donald Trump’s Faith in Celebrity Could Finally Backfire

excerpt:

"“His show is great. He’s on that screen. He’s in the bedrooms of all those women telling them good and bad.”

This was Donald Trump at a May 6 rally in Greensburg, Pa., looking to sell Republican voters on Mehmet Oz, the celebrity surgeon he has endorsed for Senate.

“Dr. Oz has had an enormously successful career on TV,” reasoned Mr. Trump, “and now he’s running to save our country.”

As political pitches go, this one may sound vague and vacuous and more than a tad creepy. But Mr. Trump was simply cutting to the heart of the matter. Dr. Oz’s chief political asset — arguably his singular asset in this race — is his celebrity. Beyond that, it is hard to imagine why anyone would consider him for the job, much less take him seriously."

 

Is Trump losing GOP support? 43% of Republicans want new leaders: Poll

excerpt:

"In totally, the poll shows that 43 percent of voters who plan to vote in GOP primaries this year would prefer their party have new leaders and/or move on from the former president. At the same time, a relatively narrow majority (55 percent) said that the Republican Party should continue to be led by Trump moving forward.

Furthermore, the survey found that substantially more Republican respondents said they were supportive of their political party over Trump. Only about a third (34 percent) said they were more supportive of the former president compared to 58 percent who described themselves as a supporter of the GOP first.

The survey was carried out from May 5 to 7 and 9 to 10. It included interviews with 1,000 adults."

 

Melania Trump teases second term as first lady in first interview since leaving White House - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"In Melania Trump’s first interview since leaving the White House, the former first lady hinted that there is a chance she could live there again as former President Donald Trump teases a 2024 reelection bid.

“I think we achieved a lot in four years of the Trump administration,” Melania Trump told Fox in an interview that aired Sunday morning, adding, “Never say never,” when asked if she could be living in the White House again should her husband run for reelection.

During the interview, Trump discussed what she called her “NFT projects.” The former first lady has designed and put up for sale on her personal website several non-fungible tokens, which are digital collectibles authenticated by the blockchain that is often a piece of digital art. All of the items Trump is selling can only be purchased via cryptocurrency, and the first lot of items put up for sale earlier this year failed to reach its desired monetary threshold of $250,000 for an opening bid."
