Was Fetterman a "quality candidate"?

Candidates dont matter....
The agenda does.
People will ignore really bad stuff on politicians, if they will give you what you want!

I don’t know why so many republicans struggle with campaigning. There is an art to it.
So, once again, tell us about the great campaigns of biden, Fetterman, hobbs, etc. Especially compared to the people they were running against.
It’s amusing watching yall twist yourselves into all sorts of knots trying to explain the results of the last 2 elections.

Why would I address an irrelevant point? Democratic candidate or campaign quality has NOTHING to do with whether Republicans ran quality candidates or campaigns.

What did hobbs do to win the votes of moderates/centrists and republicans that didn’t want to vote for lake?
Sit there and say nothing and let Lake do all the work.

How many times do you need to be told that Democrats have an easier path in this regard before you accept it to be true?
They harvest urban votes en masse and have the media carrying their water. Like it or not, it makes it much easier to win disinterested voters for Democrats.
Republicans voters do not line up and vote for party as Democrats do. It really is that simple. The GOP has to run better people to win.

My point was Lake and Masters were good candidates that got the same result.
I not sure if you believe this or not but Democrats are cheating like a mfer.

No.
Did he win because Shapiro drug him along since Mastriano was a moron and because Oz had a “Trump” albatross on his neck?
Yes.

Lesson: the uni-party establishment allows establishment candidates to win.
No one ever corrected the rigged 2020 election when all the swing states went to take a smoke break and Biden was suddenly winning when they resumed counting.
Why would they stop what no one will do anything about?

Saying this after every single election and using it to excuse issues within the party and it’s primaries only makes the issue worse.
One of these days you guys are just going to have to understand that the GOP will not win these purple suburban areas again as long as Donald Trump is calling the shots.
He’s toxic to those people and it simply does not matter whether that toxicity is justified. It’s there and it’s permanent.

Candidate quality has to do with winning elections, according to you. Maybe one day you’ll be able to address why you only want to talk about one sides candidate quality but not the other. Apparently today is not that day.

Oh look, another question you’re afraid to answer.

The GOPe are trying to message their way to winning a war.
They still don’t understand you win a war by fighting. Not by marketing.

As many times as it will take for you to provide an actual logically consistent argument that it is true I suppose.

They have horrifically bad policies that make voters lives worse, to the point that everyone sees and feels it in their everyday lives. Like it or not, that it makes it much more difficult to win independent and moderate voters for democrats.

This is the part where you only explain, again, why independents and moderates aren’t voting for republicans, but fail to explain, again, why they are voting for democrats. I look forward to your next failure to provide an answer with great anticipation.

Oz had a “Trump” albatross on his neck?
But, now look at a real measurable ... e.g., funding. Fetterman, a brain-stroked, Frankenstein lurch, outraised and outspent Oz by 30%! Can we stay focused and get to the bottom of that? ... For a start?

Get to the bottom of what? Big money spent on elections?

If the takeaway is Walker lost because he was a poor candidate, or Oz lost because he was a poor candidate, then the GOP will get its clock cleaned again in 2 years.
In close races in swing states, you don't nominate candidates with a lot of baggage. Is it really that hard to comprehend? With the tide so much against the Dems with incumbency, inflation, history and a hundred other things working against them, how do you think they pulled off these close victories in purple states? Only because of who the GOP put up as candidates.
Any mainstream Republican would have won, and would have won handily, and you'd agree too if you were being honest, especially in the current environment. Why did it have to be crazy candidates like Mastriano, Walker, Masters, Oz etc. Independents and moderates would not vote for folks like these, even if they nomally leaned slightly conservative and voted Republican more often than not.

Again, to use a football analogy - "You control what you can on your own team and put them in the best position to win. Forget what the other team is doing."

Explain Fetterman
or Al Franken
or Jerry Nadler
or Maxine Waters
or Kamala Harris
or the other guy, also from Georgia who thought Guam might tip over if we added too many soldiers?

Add Joe Biden to that list. He came in fourth in Iowa Dem primary in 2020. And really struggled all the way through.

You mis-spelled mental patient.
I knew we were fricked when that doormat won.
Guys I worked with at in Geismar are smarter than that dumbass (and they bought plenty of Z71s to match their trailers). But the (D) need to win, rite?
