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.”
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. >
