Oh, get this!

Doug Mastriano is seriously considering a run for the US Senate, a run against Bob Casey from the great state of Pennsylvania.

Not sure what is more infuriating--the gall or the continuing delusion. Mastriano was clobbered in his run for PA Governor. Now he thinks he can compete for a senate seat.

Bring it on! I'd love to see all these MAGAts clobbered a thousand times.

Astounding!

issues with extremists (including recruitment) in PA (and elsewhere). So, I can't see that as a good thing--at all.

But Mastriano was the most toxic candidate out there. There certainly were several others but Mastriano takes the cake and he's a true believer in this ongoing insanity.

Gilead on steroids.

The attention is going to be there one way or the other. So bring in the top uglies. We'll clobber them again. Nothing like releasing the hounds to get our own supporters fired up.

We'll clobber them. Because we must.

And he's been popular in the state. He was a trooper in Fetterman's campaign though the two men are very different. It was a good thing to see and hear.

When our party is unified and focused on GOTV, we win. We'll win this one, too.

back at you, Cha. Hope things are going well.

like what Marianne Williamson is doing for herself running as Dem and insulting "lefties as godless".

Her hot mike comment about how Fox News treats her better than the lefties. Guess she never considered that Fox News is simply using her, a way to stick it to the Democratic Party and make her look all the more foolish.

Delusions of grandeur.

He said he is “praying” about whether to go forward with a potential Senate run in 2024. After God, his wife, Rebbie, will have the final word he said.

In fact, Mastriano’s flirtation with another statewide campaign is sure to give heart palpitations to GOP leaders. When a blue wave swept across Pennsylvania in 2022 — Democrats won the gubernatorial race, Senate race and a majority of state House contests — most Republican officials pointed the finger at Mastriano. His staunchly anti-abortion stance that allowed for no exceptions, his efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Pennsylvania, and his appearance at the capitol the day of the Jan. 6 attack alarmed many swing voters.

taking people seriously when they're hearing voices in their head, insisting God is telling them to run for political office. There are quite a few in Tennessee who make a similar claim.

Total nutbags and/or opportunists, all of them.

And yes, sheshe. It is a true facepalm. LOL.
