I'll save them a bundle. Crazy and incompetence are what went wrong.
This PA voter will tell them for free. The Rs ran terrible candidates. No one liked Oz, who had made a fortune scamming gullible people with quack remedies. Mastriano was a Trump terrorist who paid for several busses to take rioters to invade the Capitol on January 6. >

Mastriano's close association with neo-nazi media platform heads really, REALLY looked bad in a state where the Tree of Life shooting happened. >

Not to mention his opponent, Josh Shapiro, is Jewish. Something about being openly antisemitic while running against a Jewish man really looked bad. >

While Shapiro won by a comfortable margin, still, 41.7% of Pennsylvanians saw no problem with the Neo-Nazi. That’s kind of scary. >

41.7% of voters saw no problem with a Neo-Nazi. And many rural voters are programmed to think that any negative traits about Republican candidates are “fake news”. It’s still not good, but it’s not as bad as 41.7% of Pennsylvanians. >

Programmed to think or willfully ignorant? Some 74 million saw with their own eyes for four years of lies, alternative facts, missteps, gaffes, fumbles, fuck-ups, foibles and petty politics in action and went to the trouble of asking for a second helping. >

I think you underestimate the power of propaganda. These people are basically brainwashed into seeing democrat = baby killer. And they vote on that single issue overwhelmingly. >

I live in PA, my family is republican. Can confirm they simply voted to “protect life.” They didn’t even like Oz or Mastriano, but the abortion issue is that important to them. >

My family lives in PA. Maybe your family is different, but the reasons mine give are mostly just excuses - the real reason is they don’t like that the state has become less white, and they don’t see white supremecists as a big problem in comparison. >

Consultants: After a deep dive into the data we have the answer
GQP: Well what is it?
Consultants: You're not going to like it
GQP: Tell us
Consultants: Seriously. You're not going to like it. Are you sure?
GQP: TELL US! Why do you think we gave you all of our ~~rube's~~ donor's money
Consultants: People figured out you only want to make their lives miserable and voted accordingly.
GQP: THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED!!! WE KNEW IT. >

A true consultant would put a finer spin on it to ensure that they continue to reap the benefit of being a preferred contractor.  It would be more like “we did both primary and secondary research and the findings were clear, while it’s possible that there were any exogenous factors impacting the outcome, our research shows that the messaging of the campaign did not resonate with the 18 to 34 high school and college educated demographics across both men and women who skewed higher in the participation percentage than in the past.” >

Yes this simple answer would be spelled out over the course of 300+ pages. >


Why are we here - page 1 - 5
Executive Summary - pages 6 - 10
Background and supporting data - pages 11 - 50
Hypotheses and Extrapolations - pages 51 - 100
Conclusions and Recommendations - pages 101 - 125
Supporting Material - pages 126 - 300 >

In the next round…I think maybe we should add a section on testing methodology. >

I think they just want to blame Hunter's laptop in the end >

So maybe supporting things people don't want is the problem?  I bet they aren't looking at that.  They are looking to how to redistrict. >

Maybe they are looking at what voters want, especially younger voters and soon to be voters, and taking the opposite position.  Because of course they know more about what voters need than the voters themselves do?  Kinda the authoritarian playbook because it was better in their idealist minds?   If they keep this up, they'll win themselves out of office eventually. >

Well the GOP has no platform. The GOP is interested in power, but they aren't going to just abandon their key crazy points.  They can't so they have really no where to go but denial and delusion.  For 40 years they have always done the same things.  I don't expect that to change.

If they keep this up, they'll win themselves out of office eventually.

yes >

Those in power have the resources to retain power.   Power is addictive.  Entitlement breeds greed.   Problem is retaining power means as we've seen tweaking the system in their favor.  Things like weakening voting and packing the courts.  This imbalance could now take another generation or two. >

Mastriano is a Christian Taliban and Oz is a TV buffoon. Give me the 100k. >

Oh I'm sure it's way more than that lol >

ok this is pretty funny:
“We didn’t do that well at all. Here you have Biden with a lot of failures. Super high inflation — higher than it’s been since 40 years — gasoline prices, interest rates going up, small businesses under the gun, and we have international problems existing. And yet no red wave,” said Rep. Dan Meuser (R-Pa.), who is helping finance the postmortem. “We want the God’s honest truth.”
We made up all these issues issues that aren't real and we want the God's honest truth...
"To me, there’s definitely a reasonable way of maintaining my pro-life position without being offensive to others.”
No, no there isn't. Taking away other people's rights will always be offensive, as it should be. >

Hahahahaha - I was just copy/pasting Meuser’s line about maintaining his pro-life position without being offensive. (Interesting word choice there).
How about stick with your “principles” of small government and not telling people what to believe and do? That’s a start? Right? >

How about high quality sex education and free contraceptives, including plan B? Neither would be terribly expensive, both would prevent many many abortions. >

Maybe don't select a christo-fascist candidate for governor who flat out refused to talk to the press or any potential voter who wasn't also a christo-fascist. Mastriano was an absolute terrible choice and the votes show that. >

Easy money.  Take the 2012 GOP “post mortem” and file the serial numbers off.  You get to be right and they aren’t gonna listen anyway. >

Save the research money.  Here's a hint: Nobody in PA likes someone from NJ coming in and telling them what is best for PA. >

I don't think the people wanted what your are selling >

They are probably researching ways to "win" in spite of unpopular candidates. >

I can save them a whole lotta money (they can pay me a finders fee, >

“paying a DC firm” lol months later and they still aren’t asking actual PA voters what they want, of course they lost >

"Why did we run a Confederate for governor in the only Northern state that was attacked by the Confederacy?" >

"This Confederate symbol is an embarrassment, particularly as we are a northern state." >

Future headline: GOP Blames Left, Lurches Right >

Yeah, since when did the GOP start paying any attention to science and math? >

For 1 dollar, I could tell them.
The GOP attacked: Women, people of color, Jews, Gays, teachers and schools, books and libraries, inclusive corporations, doctors and science, and tried to promote Christianity into our laws. 
Like dip shits, you fought against any sane measure to control Covid and you now have republican voters vaccinated at half the rate of democrat voters and republicans are now dying at 2 to 1 over democrats.
You tried to gerrymander the voting districts and you fully supported the insane lie that Trump won in 2020.
If you attack more than 50% of the voters, they might tend to vote for the other side.
Those are about half of your problems. For another dollar, I'll let you know the other half. >

You nominated a crazy election denying anti-semite and a crazy snake oil salesman. >

Sounds like money laundering because the reason is pretty obvious: 
Republicans don't have a platform and the few things they do talk about that's "sorta policy" is vehemently terrifying religious BS like women wearing full body coverings & medical bans on care OR destruction of the economy through tax cuts without budget cuts & defunding of every single piece of infrastructure from physical to poverty programs which is malicious to 99% of the population...
Why anyone would vote for them is beyond my understanding >

Real Americans don't like Nazis. There's your postmortem. >

The answers are simple:
Their policies are bad.
Their politicians are fake.
The first two have been true for so long that their propaganda is no longer convincing. >

The Republican Party only represents 1% of the population. They are only interested in what benefits the wealthy. All this other baloney is to get the rubes to vote for them. What’s the first thing they did after 2016? Tax cuts for the wealthy. They pack the courts to  be anti labor and favor corporations. >

Let me guess, "it was all stolen! Voter fraud! Italian bamboo satellites in Venezuela! Time to storm the Capitol!" >

Discovering the truth is one thing. Accepting it is another. >

I remember exit polls out of PA said one issue rose above the economy for voters, and there's likely your sign: abortion. >

Can you imagine the GOP accepting this? >

Nope, and that's on them >

Post-mortem? Bullshit.
I've lived in PA for 50 years and those guys will just go and keep doing the same same thing expecting a different result.
Anyone not familiar with our state's politics don't realize just how constipated they really are. >

Because you picked the two worst candidates to run. Dr Oz has the worst political instincts possibly in history. The gov pick was an extremist who ran as an extremist. >

How about offering plans to fix problems?
Nope, repeat the same nonsense, offer no alternative. 
“We didn’t do that well at all. Here you have Biden with a lot of failures.

I’ll help: Your. Platform. Is. Unpopular. >

They nominated a guy who wore a confederate uniform to the US army war college to be the governor of Pennsylvania. The same Pennsylvania that fought for the union, and the same Pennsylvania whose Quakers ran the underground railroad. Don't run a southern sympathizer for governor in Pennsylvania!! >

They won't like the answers and will refuse to change. >

The GOP lives in a fantasy bubble of their own creation. They started believing their own lies. I'll send my contact details privately so you can send me a consultant fee. >

Dear PA GOP,
PA is a purple state where moderates do well. Run moderate Republicans (who actually live here) and you’ll make out fine. 
Now where’s my $1 million consulting fee? >

Doctor Oz and Doug mastriano. Pretty simple. Can I bill the PA gop? >

Will they read this thread lol >

They should just pay me for half the price and I’ll tell them what went wrong. >

The GOP is officially the party of magical thinking. They are paying to find an comforting lie that they can cling to. >

I can tell them for free. Do something, anything positive, to help all the American people >

I don’t think they’ll like the answers. Their party is stuck on shitty, dividing policies that help only billionaires and extremists. The majority of people are in the middle and don’t want what they are offering. >

You ran a lunatic who promised, if elected, to rig all future elections... Also, abortion >

Penn GOP-  why is our “fuck the people” playbook not working? >

LOL. Good. And the firm won’t want to bite the hand that feeds it, so it will soft sell what the GOP did wrong. Then, the GOP will focus on two or three other things like “we need to talk more about CRT or Hunter Biden”. And then in 2 years, they’ll hire another firm to do the post mortem. Good times. >

The more they spend here, the less they spend in 2024. >

Don’t forget, Martin’s, the bread company, contributed heavily to Mastriano’s campaign.  Keep boycotting them. >

As a recover republican (is that a ten step program?  Step one: I have no power over the asshat Trump) stop moralizing. Abortion is the law of the land. Stop bashing LGBQT - you believe in freedom? Let people be free. Step 3 - dump trump, admit insurrection, flay everyone associated with him. 
Apologize. 
Almost all of my friends and peers are Republicans who are fiscal conservatives (is the party even fiscal conservative anymore??) and social liberals. 
Get with the middle majority >

Republicans haven't been fiscally conservative since hoover. >


Fealty to Trump. 
Act like the Taliban. 
Support Putin. 
Hate women and minorities. 

Vote Blue or die red. >

Their candidate was a total nut-job Trump & nut-hugger. Case closed. >

Might want to start with the whole "The guy at the top of our ticket is a quack from who lives in New Jersey" thing.  Even regardless of the politics, it was a fucking clown show, and the politics made it an even bigger clown show.  But what do I know? >

I can save them a whole lotta money (they can pay me a finders fee, right?) You put forth horrible candidates and thought they would vote for the "R" and not the person. >

It's the Nazis.
Your problem is that your party is full of Nazis and people don't like Nazis.
Happy to help, no charge. >

Consultant: "Your culture war message does not resonate with the population."
GOP: "So you are saying we need to push harder to the right to motivate our base." >

Consultant: Recent trends indicate that voters are not aligning with the RNC's priorities. You need to pivot to remain relevant, your current direction is not effective.

They won't read it. >

Republicans can't seem to recognize the truth, even when it slaps them down in elections.

Or find some random comment the D made years ago and pound it until it bleeds (see Wisconsin) >

Yeah, Ron Johnson was on one of the sunday interview shows this morning.
I couldn't help but think he looked like one of the White Walkers from Game of Thrones. >

Wisconsin has had a series of horrific crimes in the past couple of years (blm riots in Kenosha, mass murder at a Christmas parade in suburban Milwaukee two years ago..) and they guy nominate a dude with endless anti-police, sjw creds? Lord >


what exactly went so wrong

The Republican party went insane and supported evil, toxic, stupid, criminal, racist and other various assorted assholes
We need an intellectual, secular conservative option >

As a Pennsylvanian, my suggestion to the state GOP would be to honor the results of elections and avoid nominating cringy lunatics. >

Young people don’t wanna vote for a bunch of fascist. .That’s with went wrong. >

How could we have gerrymandered so hard after ignoring the court orders and elected such garbage candidates and still lost? >

Here’s a basic clue for every state in every election: no matter how sure you are that your platform is THE correct and only platform, and that your candidate was chosen by God or Fate or The Flying Spaghetti Monster, about HALF of the population disagrees with you. Republicans especially seem to believe they are the vast majority in this country, and there a just small groups of uber-powerful liberal holdouts that somehow manage to cheat and appear a much larger population than they are. They literally cannot perceive that so many people don’t agree. So every election cycle, any loss, any rebuke, must be a mistake, or the result of cheating. It’s maddening. >

The state Party is conducting research and paying a big D.C. firm to help gather insights.
I’m going to save you some money GOP.  It’s the crazy.  It’s the autocratic anti-democratic, voter suppressing, conspiracy theory, election denying behavior.  That’s what went wrong. >

Oz was a terrible candidate, now my check plz >

Maybe you shouldn’t run a guy who lives in New Jersey that was grilled by Congress for selling fake supplements. Actually, do that PA GOP. >

I cannot wait for the report to come out, and for the GOP to completely ignore it’s findings.  Like every single post Mortem they’ve ever done. >

they ran idiots ranting about unpopular positions >

Umm, how about not running a guy from NJ and a psycho for Governor.  That’ll be 15 million >

If they couldn't course-correct after 2008 or 2012, they sure as hell aren't going to now. Extremism is their new mainstream, and they've stripped out every other gear, including reverse. They're stuck going full-throttle crazy. >

If fetterman didn't have a stroke he would've won by a bigger margin.
Oz has a name in tv not politics,
Mastriano came off as too far right and Shapiro seemed more centered on issues. >

Or….they could just talk to THE PEOPLE. Or search Reddit lol >

The PEOPLE? You want us to actually align policies to what the little people want? We paid you to give practical answers >

Oh! Oh! I know what happened. Pick Me! >

At this rate, the party has been corrupted to the point that they are getting hoodwinked by their own candidates and relying upon grifters and criminals to set their direction for them who are instead simply taking their money and if it works, it's likely coincidental. Their big hero who many of them hoped would bring about the End of Days is selling them NFTs. The GOP put out a big "For Sale" sign a long time ago and chased out most of the folks that had some integrity. >

In the end, they won't learn a thing. Because their mouths are forever stuck to orange ass. >

Trump in 2016 is what most Americans wanted. To reveal and eliminate corruption in Washington. To not allow the rich to get away without paying their fair share. All things most of us believe in. The issue was you just did the same things they did but yelled that you we’re different when you weren’t. So now most of us our wise to the fact that what you say and what you do is completely opposite. So most of us now do not and may not ever trust your party again, so there isn’t much you can really do. It will take years of good will to bring people back to the right. I don’t see the GOP having more than 5 days of good will let alone 5 years. >

Nominated openly antidemocratic, antisemitic "Christian Nationalist' at top of ticket. >

A lot of wasted money to figure out that everyone voted for the other candidate >

Most likey scenario is that they pay someone they know to tell them they are not wrong or bad so they can double down on their agenda. >

It’s simple, put up candidates that people will vote for. >

They backed and then elected stupid people as candidates? >

They should examine exactly WHY they keep nominating complete assholes. >

Who can I contact about this job? Easy money >

I remember when the GOP was dominate in the West as a party of small government, self reliance and pro-business including farmers. They brought the Christian Fascists in to the tent who only want to impose their moral code on the country and it’s off the rails from there. 
Georgia and Texas are becoming purple. There aren’t all that many Evangelicals on the Great Plains, the Ds should start pounding on the Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas >

1/ people of breeding age - 18 to 40 - Can be driven to the polls by pro-life nutballs 2/ younger people also don’t watch FOX news or listen to AM radio so largely don’t even hear the right wing grievances, much less care about them >

Let me guess.  It's not because of their terrible candidates and even worse agenda, it's because too many people were allowed to vote? >

The firm itself is going to run a comprehensive report that's going to go outside of what we would normally think. 
They will look at everything possible. Districts that voted, numbers, messaging, where the messaging was at, what voters cared about, and the candidate quality as well. 
It will be a full born breakdown. 
Keep in mind that the GOP has zero interest in changing its policies. Rather, it looks to take this report and it's findings and find ways to bring voters to their side. 
As much as I dislike the GOP, they are masters at staying on a consistent message and pushing it forward. 
Best example is their, "What the hell happened in 2012?"  report. 
Aspects of that report found that the GOP were doing really horrible with Latino voters and needed to find a way to reach out to them. As those voters found the party hostile to them. 
It took time for them to not act so racist towards the Latino community and to hyper focus in areas where they could gain voters. 
First, was presenting more Latino/a candidates in areas where it would matter.
Second, was to focus on economic issues that hurt them (gas prices.
Third, was the particularly separate them from those who come in undocumented. Make it seem like things are not fair for them because of the undocumented. 
Finally, focus on social issues that would strike home to a Christian Latino/a population. Especially since there was a major backlash against Latinx. 
Democrats, like always, have squandered their support by minorities and fucked things up since 2016. In fact they are actually losing some support in the African American male population. 
I could argue about everything the Dems are doing wrong, but that's another topic for another day. >

The gop strategy should be to buckle to a public health care option and much more merciful student loan payment plans/initiative to fund public bachelors and masters degrees, keep the cost lower by making it really competitive and difficult to get in, so difficult that most poor people will never perform well enough to get in. Then continue to be racist and sexist and religious because regardless of having healthcare and education people will always be that way. They would win and could still have their own separate high functioning private healthcare and education system for elites on the side.They are evil idiots that are going to destroy things until they have no one left to control and rid themselves of the whole point of their ideology, other people existing for them >

I’ll take their money. What you are doing is backward and immensely unpopular and when called out you double down. Try being FOR something instead of just against everything. >

Stop being dicks! >

This is easy… bad candidates. >

How many times does the GOP need this same report, their ideas suck and they need more voters. We all know they will double down on stupid and blame voter fraud. >

Conclusion: Fascism and incompetence bad. >

Pennsylvania voters simply don’t want un-democratic leadership >

Hmmm, a far right whack job may not do well in the suburbs. Who knew? >

Why? They don’t want to do what they already know is necessary - dump trump, and adopt a real written platform that: helps the health and economy of all Americans, dis-avows hate and political violence, and supports a stronger democracy. >

Maybe not run nazis >

I’m a Millennial. I really hope my generation and Gen X saves our country by the time my young daughters are my age (36). Medicare for all and repeal of Citizens United. >

If Doug Mastriano claimed his Jew-ish heritage (while wink wink his ture supporters) he would have won. >

If you just look at the size of Mehmet’s rallies it’s obvious the Dems stole the election.
We’re getting really good at stealing elections too.  Some how we convince the GOP to put all their money behind the worst possible candidate and very often that’s enough to win. >

Its simple.   They lost because their ideals and views as long as their platform (or lack thereof) is nuts.  They are mind-bogglingly blind to the fact that they are complete wackos who push policies that make zero sense and cover up illegal activity in their members.  And they wonder why people don't trust them enough to vote for them? Wake up.
Im not saying dems are much better. The entire american government system is broken top to bottom. What the US needs is a third party. >

Try starting with having a simple platform. >

Lol, like they could actually do this (see below) for any culture war issue. It’s the whole face of Republic politics and their issues. Own the libs and be offensive. “ To me, there’s definitely a reasonable way of maintaining my pro-life position without being offensive to others.” >

They are blind. The party has never put forth any policy that has had good outcomes for America. Everything they do is based off of how to discredit the other side. They have done nothing but complain for the last 3 years. Seems they have not recognized the changes in culture and progress of the country the last 50 years. Pretty typical >

These fucking guys all they do is spend spend spend and only for/on themselves >

When you only appeal to the most hardcore of republicans you’re not going to win most elections. >

Am I so out of touch? No, it's the voters who are wrong. >

Oh this is easy. Buy a calendar and take a look at the date. Understand that people want a government trying to make their lives better and not ones putting them in a state of fear.  Abandon going after minorities and demonizing them and concentrate on lowering taxes, maximizing education, providing safe, quality food and air. The rest is just BS.   
Thanks.  I will now take that overpriced check you were going to give the consultants. >

“You are dicks. That will be $10M.” >

It couldn’t possibly be our complete lack of agenda to help voters.  Let’s blame gas stoves. >

I’ll tell them what went wrong for a mere $90k. >

The GOP did the same thing in 2012 I believe. 
And then they threw out that info and doubled down on the insanity. Lucked out in 2016 and apparently haven’t learned a fucking thing. 
Except that they can’t win over hearts and minds with good policies and ideas. So they just cheat or game the system where possible. >

And just like last time they'll ignore every piece of advice they're given and double down on the bigotry and power mongering because those are the only things they understand. >

Yea, racism, trans phobia, anti-abortion, anti women's rights and general craziness is what's wrong. >

Umm they should’ve nominated better candidates instead of bunch of extremist clowns. >

Stop trying to game the system. You’re welcome. >

Unpopular out of touch and outright cruel positions on issues? >

It's the fascism for me. >

Those idiots still haven't figured out that most voters hate fascism. >

I’ll save you some money, you’re out of touch with voters. >

You are trying to enact policies people don’t like. >

I wonder who runs the company and who they are friends with in the GQP? >

I'd say next time they should try running a senate candidate who's actually from Pennsylvania. >

If they don't understand why they lost, then holy shit they are dumb as fuck >

These postmortems are such a waste of money because they routinely tell Republicans “you lost because you supported unpopular policies” and their response is always “yea we don’t care, let’s double down.” >

Basically,
Pa is a swing state for a reason. Enough Moderates to actually choose a candidate.
McCarthy was the better choice for Republicans but in truth, neither McCarthy or Oz were good for the state. The Moderate Republicans put in for Oz knowing he would lose.
The only point of worry was the debate. That dropped some of the moderates out but not enough to effect the election. >

Or you could just look in the mirror: no policy proposals; horrible candidates; anti-democracy; pro-insurrectionists; anti-personal liberty; and ignorant branding of basic social programs as socialism and communism. >

Look at the goons the GOP backed. Are they really that clueless? >

this postmortem sounds like a money laundering operation. They already know what went wrong. >

I could probably retire on an amount less than they’re paying. The answer is simple. Greed, hatred, bigotry and intolerance are not a winning combination. The GQP is nothing but those. Arrogant ignorance is another shared quality among the party and its voters. >

Dr Oz wasn't it
where should i send this invoice? >

Dr. Oz had name recognition. That doesn’t always translate into votes. >

In other words, GOP trying to see if it's actually safe to ditch Trump >

It’s the crazy Christi fascist autocrats, stupid >

Give me 1/2 of what you're paying them. 
You picked a man not from Pennsylvania, with 10 homes, no political experience, worth fuck you money, trying to relate to blue collar workers, who likes fancy meat and salsa platters. That you can buy at a "Wegner's." >

Figure out why they lost, or to figure out how to lie better? >

Real easy.  Oz?  Like who thought that was a good idea.  Not from PA.  His life story is completely foreign to 99.9999999% of Pennsylvanians
Mastriano?  Dude looks like he’s in a cult >

They recruited an obvious carpetbagging snake oil salesman and a lunatic. >

Who is fund raising for this $100K PM.    What a joke. >

Ill help, no salary needed. First of all you elect incompetent people, second, you allow groups like the Tea Party to shape your agenda for decades.while America moved forward into the modern age your party was static. Third, and this will be your biggest challenge, Stop representing the billionaires especially when doing so puts voters in a bind, ie: inflation, over priced food and utilities and everything else while the1% make billions more in profit plus they dont pay their fair share. okay >

I'm pretty sure I can beat the price that they're charging >

I'm sure the same state Republican party that ran Doug fucking Mastriano and the likes of Scott Perry will absolutely take objective assessments to heart and change their ways. Yep.
Unrelated, has anyone else had pigs flying over your house today? >

I can do the postmortem for 1/3 the cost:
Don’t run anti democracy wing nut election deniers
I’ll take the payment made out to the order of “cash”. Thanks in advance >

Until the non-GOP people unite and invest in the same type of research and marketing, democracy will not be safe. >

Uh…one is a fascist and the other is a conman selling miracle cures on tv. That’ll be a million dollars. >

Your candidates and policies were and are laughably unpopular.
Consulting fee plz. >

I'd say pull their collective heads out of Trump's ass, but that'd take a paradigm shift. >

Voters were turned off by the Christian nationalist and con-artist you nominated, and they don’t like the fascist rhetoric.

Executive summary, probably:
~~"Our 2022 candidates failed to resonate with swing voters, especially in terms of their presentation. Opponents campaigned with an unusually strong appeal to the white working class, using a grassroots social media campaign and focusing on national issues and the defeat of the Republican Caucus in the senate. Messaging directed towards the health, fitness, and authenticity of opponent campaigns was effective; successful messages by opposition campaigns suggest a disconnect between PA voter priorities and the national priorities for the RNC. The 2022 gubernatorial and senate races may have negative impacts on the reputation of the PA GOP in future elections.~~
~~Potential advantages offered by Dr. Mehmit Oz's name recognition and celebrity status were offset by his out of state residency, personal wealth, and vocabulary. Celebrity status may negatively impact candidate polling in the future. This perception negatively impacted the senate race, and opposition fundraising and campaigning had a down-ballot impact.~~ 
~~Doug Mastriano's gubernatorial bid was marked by an unconventional campaign and accusations of prejudice. Mastriano's rhetoric and reputation contributed significantly to the performance of the PA GOP on all levels~~
~~Future campaigns will require coaching and PR management. Candidates should focus on cultivating a moderate, white working class image, avoiding controversy and appealing to local priorities."~~
We recommend doubling down on appeals to the white working class, focusing on rhetoric with strong emotional appeals. Focusing on border security, the second amendment, and abortion remain top priorities. Performance by the Democrats was an outlier caused by Dobbs v. Jackson, and PA will vote red in the next election if we hold the course. KILL THE DEMOCRATS CRUSH THE POOR GRIND THE MINORITIES INTO GREASE FOR THE MACHINE DEMAND BLOOD FEAST ON THEIR CORPSES DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH >

GOP Senate candidate Sean Parnell lost his latest custody battle mid-Senate run. (Dude wore a windbreaker and jeans to Family Court. You don’t do that.) His ex also publicly accused him of child and spousal abuse, and he failed to get her accusation under seal so it didn’t get out.
Considering how much he prominently features his kids in his campaign media, it makes a difference. He dropped out—though I don’t know if he did it willingly or was told to do so—of the race, clearing the way for Oz. >

I think we can all do it for cheaper: don’t run unqualified, fascist pricks. >

Big D.C. Firm: Well, Bob....it says here that your party is full of raging assholes who spew racist, sexist, transphobic, and homophobic nonsense and is incredibly anti-science. So, I think that right there might be the reason you guys suck. >

They have to ask? The consultant should hand them a blank piece of paper because everyone knows what really went wrong… the GOP is a clown show, bunch of traitors, thieves… taking away Americans right to abortion, attacking and defiling the US Capitol and working to cover it up… lies and conspiracy theories… and that’s just a few!  Now they’re poised to shut down the US gov and default on our loans! >

You've been fucking our state for years. Get the fuck over it and pull your head out of eachothers asses >

So I've been a Republican and I live in PA, I voted Democrat for the first time last year because of all the insanity. Here is my interpretation. Everybody knows what's really going on in the Republican party but everybody is afraid to say what they know. They know that election fraud is made up, that's that anti-vax movement is made up. The fact is they are afraid of each other. They're afraid of speaking the truth so they pretend to be puzzled about what happened. They're pretending to be dumb because they want to see what everybody else believes. This is all about people pretending to be dumb, I found this out when I talked to people in the prayer movement. They're too afraid to talk about any of this. They're afraid because of the religious right and their influence in the church. This is biblical in a way. These people are of the same religious spirit that killed Jesus and everybody is terrified of them. >

GOP: is as fascist, racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic as can be; ignores science on climate change and other important topics and many other things
Also GOP: why dont the voters like us :( >

Might have something to do with the fact that the guy you ran for governor. I mean Mastriano litterly represents Gettysburg, PA in the State Senate. He thought gee, you what all Pennsylvanians would love, me taking pictures on the Gettysburg battlefield in Confederate uniform, then posting it all over the internet. As a single example.
Sidenote thankfully most of these fascists are complete morons. >

You didn’t go far enough to the right… /s >

The demographic they are performing for is voting for them 100%. Not sure what they think went wrong. >

Rs don’t believe that cutting SS and Medicare will cause seniors to vote against them? Rs don’t believe that outlawing abortion will cause voters to turn against them?  I’m starting to wonder whether Rs are the party of traumatic brain injury. >

After the spectacle of 1/6, the outright insanity of Mastriano, the unelectability of Oz, the abortion issue, the election denial, the culture posturing? They're lucky all their candidates didn't lose. >

I’m from PA, as l drive around during the day l still see cars and yard signs saying Trump - Pence. Hillary Clinton will be Trumps next VP pick before Mike Pence. I can see having a Trump sign but not with Pence on it too.
