You wasted your money throwing it at him once again. Bashing people does not sell either. Progress has come to the county courts despite him not because of him. The jail is loaded with his accomplishments.

No wonder you had to ask about his platform. And I give you a failing grade in grammar as well as reading comprehension bc the word "dependant" is still correct when used as a noun, though it is less frequent these days. Do you have any real points to make?

The word “dependent” is an adjective meaning to be controlled or supported by someone or something else (as in dependent on drugs or dependent upon the weather).<br /><br />In British English, the word “dependant” is the noun used for a person who is dependent (as in the mother and her dependant). In American English, there is no such word; the spelling “dependent” is used for both meanings.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-86103685414842192162016-03-28T19:24:34.785-04:002016-03-28T19:24:34.785-04:006:31, The video above pretty much answers your que...6:31, The video above pretty much answers your question. <br /><br />6:33, I hope you're right, but think you are ignoring some big warning signs.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-38583263111419693102016-03-28T18:33:53.557-04:002016-03-28T18:33:53.557-04:00Morganelli's personality is well suited as a p...Morganelli's personality is well suited as a prosecutor but that bulldog arrogance and conceit is why he loses statewide.

He won't. His tough stance on Wolf's death penalty moratorium and Kane's ridiculousness sealed his fate. His being a Catholic school parent alienated the PSEA. He's too far off the establishment reservation at a time when Democrats have coagulated on the extreme left.

Trump does have some appeal to independents and Democrats. He is mobilizing a large number of voters to register Republican to vote in the primary for him but they will not vote down the Republican party line for the state seats.<br /><br />So while Republican registration is increasing over Democrats in Pa, it doesn't equate to increased votes for local Republican candidates as would normally be the case. And, the staunch Democrats who do vote party line are being mobilized against trump at the same time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-23091837666440466452016-03-28T11:29:33.825-04:002016-03-28T11:29:33.825-04:00I have heard a few names like Kelly Lewis and Mark...I have heard a few names like Kelly Lewis and Mark Minotti, but the people have the final say.

He is a fine human being, and a true professional. His running for state AG has always made me nervous, however.

Trump at the top of the ticket means massive down ballot losses for the GOP and Cruz has little appeal in a state like PA. Rafferty is unknown and doesn't have much money.

He will do better in western PA than Democrats have done recently while winning by 250,000+ in Philadelphia and follow closely to trend in the suburbs but not as well as the top of the ticke--that's why western PA becomes more imporant. And he wont get wiped out in NEPA. While Morganelli is well-qualified, the best Democratic electoral bet is Zappala.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
