    I don’t even ask. If she’s insanely hot I’m already pretty sure we’re related, so there’s really no upside.

    Oz said he would have certified election and the Biden is the winner of the election. DT must be losing his chit over this one about now

    Dr. Oz Throws Trump Under Bus, Says He Would Have Certified Biden's Election (yahoo.com)

    Donald Trump isn’t going to like this, but Dr. Mehmet Oz admits he would have approved certifying Joe Biden as president had he been in office in 2021.

    Although the former president pushed Oz towards running for the Pennsylvania Senate seat that previously belonged to outgoing Republican Pat Toomey, Oz apparently doesn’t believe Trump’s “big lie” that the 2020 election was stolen.

    During an interview with NBC’s Vaughn Hillyard, the former TV Doc and rumored New Jersey resident said that if he had been in office when the election was certified, he wouldn’t have objected to the congressional process that made Biden president.

    “I would not have objected to it. By the time the delegates & those reports were sent to the U.S. Senate, our job was to approve it, which is what I would have done,” Oz said.

    Dr. Oz campaign hires actors to play convicted felons supporting Fetterman

    Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz has reportedly hired people to portray convicted felons as part of his campaign against Democratic opponent, Lt. Governor John Fetterman.

    Oz, a celebrity heart surgeon endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has strongly criticized Fetterman for his stance on crime and in particular the fact he wants to end mandatory life sentences for second-degree murder.

    Images of people portraying convicted felons and holding signs saying "Inmates for Fetterman" were shared to Twitter on Tuesday morning by PatriotTakes, a Twitter account that describes itself as "dedicated researchers monitoring and exposing right-wing extremism and other threats to democracy."

    Lol! Oz is getting destroyed by Fetterman. Oz is just another grifting right winger who is out of touch with reality and can’t connect with the middle class. He has zero chance to beat Fetterman, and unlike your Sarah Palin prediction, this will actually prove to be resoundingly true. Zero chance for Oz, none. Take it to the bank.

    Oz even launched Inmatesforfetterman.com

    classy

    Meanwhile, Fetterman leads the polls by an average of 6.5 points, but RCP is predicting an Oz win

    So Dr. Oz may have tortured and murdered puppies.


    This sick part of all this is the "convicted felons" he's demanding Fetterman fire are two wrongfully convicted men who spent decades in prison. Oz is a d-bag.

    The polls there are tightening, Fetterman’s lead is down to a few points. May come down to that debate and how healthy Fetterman seems.

    I think that’s an overreaction. Especially when all they have to do is screen their Democratic opponent’s for any references to Russian interference in 2016.

    Zero chance he wins. Thankfully the majority of PA sees through Dr. Oz and his complete phony act. Dude doesn’t even live in PA, lol. He isn’t running on a platform anyone even cares about, just the usual talking points of “Biden bad, inflation bad, Biden’s fault.” The problem is he makes a dumbass add talking about how he can’t afford ingredients for a rich person food none of them can afford, lol. Good job, Oz. Winning platform for sure.

    Like there was little chance Trump could win?
    These are the polls there, it definitely shows tightening, though Fetterman is still favored. But if he looks sickly when he comes out on Oct 25th for that debate, a few points lost could swing it.

    If there was one lesson the Democrats learned in 2016, it was do not take any election for granted. A lot of Dems were so sure that Hillary would win that they didn't even bother to vote. That wasn't the case in 2018 when there was near record turnout for a midterm. Prior to Dobbs 2022 looked like it would be a low turnout election for the Democrats. The Trump SCOTUS decision overturning Roe v. Wade changed everything, the vote on the Kansas constitutional amendment being the prime example.
    High primary voter turnout in Kansas abortion amendment election
    And let's not forget the NY 19th.
    Turnout surge powered Democrats’ N.Y. special election win — and their renewed hopes for November

    I also have wonder if Oz's apparent reversal on the validity of Biden's victory could end up suppressing the vote of the pro-Trump wing of the Republican party. While he could pickup some support from moderates Dr. Oz could very well end up alienating the true believers who have accepted Trump's narrative that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

    like I said, he should still be favored. But even in 2020, Biden over performed in some places, but the final RCP average had Biden winning WI by 6.7 points and he won by .7. Had Biden winning Fl by .9 and lost by 3.3. Both of which are bigger divergences from the polling than the 4.1 they have JF up by now. And that’s before a debate where he could look like he isn’t up for the gig.
    So it’s far from a lock. A lot will ride on that debate. Much more than normal.

    Giving the Republicans credit where credit is due they did over perform the polls in 2020. One explanation and I'm not sure if it's accurate or not was that the Republicans had a more effective ground game because they were not afraid to knock on doors while Democratic activists holed up at home out of fear of contracting Covid.

    Two bad candidates but Uncle Fetterman is about the worst candidate I’ve ever seen run for any significant office.

    I didn’t realize things in Pennsylvania were so bad that people couldn’t afford raw vegetables.
