You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Somebody who’s claim to fame is riding their bike around in circles wants to be in Congress? lol, not.
ReplyDeleteGreat athlete,not very bright. We will see.

ReplyDeleteHe certainly has a better message than I've heard from the career pols.
Simmons has NO chance against this opponent. Just the way media responds, and how people actually vote.
ReplyDeleteThat one line paragraph domes up the local pandering political parasites in one nice sentence. He has got many votes out of the gate with that real exclamitory statement.
ReplyDeleteI'm still supporting the candidate with the fortitude to take on an incumbent who wasn't doing his job. The voters will be speaking before long. My question is, however, why would Dent support Mackenzie and Woodman support Nothstein when both are Trump supporters and very conservative candidates? Something is amiss here!
ReplyDeletezzzzzzzz
ReplyDeleteWayne Woodman can spend as much of his money as he wants to try to own a congressman, but Marty is not ready for prime time. This guy would get eaten alive in any debate.
ReplyDeleteNothing to see here!
ReplyDeleteRyan Mackenzie is by far the most credible candidate in this race. He's a staunch conservative with good name ID, is well-liked, and has actually gotten things done for PA voters.
ReplyDeletePlease explain what Ryan has done for the voters!
ReplyDeletethe fact that bernie seems to like him is a red flag
ReplyDeleteMackenzie has authored and had bills passed that:
ReplyDelete1) Make it easier for veterans to start businesses
2) Improve care for stroke victims
3) Reduce fraud in tax collection (just passed by the Senate tis week!)
He's doing things that help Pennsylvanians.
"the fact that bernie seems to like him is a red flag"
ReplyDeleteThe candidate I like, John Morganelli, has yet to announce. I would hope Simmons is the R nominee bc he will be the easiest to beat.
Hey, Bernie, have you ever wondered why John Morganelli is registered as a Dem? A review of his FB postings yields many Republican positions- Immigration, capital punishment, reproductive rights, to name a few. Beyond the once perceived need to be a Dem to win at the county level.
ReplyDeleteAs long as I have known him, John has been a conservative Democrat. A blue dog.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad a drunken, disbarred lawyer is the oracle of LV politics here.
ReplyDeleteSimmons has won every election he has ever been in by double digit margins, except for 1. No one outworks him ever. You may dislike him, but the young man knows how to win.
He will be the republican nominee and Congressman come November of 2018. I can't wait to see the egg on your fat ugly face Bernie!
When it comes to ugly, Simmons is King. He and his myrmudons run the ugliest campaigns. He has won against weak opponents. He will likely lose the R nomination bc the other candidates, announced and unannounced, are vastly superior. But I sure hope is the GOP nominee bc Morganelli will destroy him.
ReplyDeleteBernie, just a casual observation here....
ReplyDeleteI know you're a Dent fan and all but why the kid gloves with Mackenzie and Northstein?
Do you really think they're good candidates? I know you've gone after Mackenzie and Woodman on here before (Northstein is Woodman).
I personally think the whole Republican and Democratic fields are a joke right now (unless Morganelli gets in).
This post was intended to do little more than inform readers that Nothstein is running. You folks are focused on next year’s races and seem to have forgotten about the ones in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI have criticized MacKenzie in the past, true. I have never criticized Nothstein. I know too little about him. But slamming him bc Wayne Woodman backs him is silly. I agree Morganelli will crush the GOP nominee, and the weakest of them is Simmons.
