Early Wednesday, I told you that incumbent Congress member Susan Wild had a 4,000 vote lead over challenger Lisa Scheller. That lead is now 6,503 votes. That's unassailable. She squeaked out a win in NorCo, clobbered in Lehigh and was destroyed in Carbon. Source: Pa Dep't of State Election Return.

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.
The wild thing could benefit from a buff personal trainer from across the isle, she’s looking more frumpy and dumpy than some of the birds I see in Walmart riding those rascal scooters
ReplyDeleteGood for her! That's one fewer MAGA-supporting Republican in the House.
ReplyDelete3:23 is a typical, shallow person. It doesn't surprise me that they hang out at Walmart looking to feel better about themselves.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Susan. I knew you had it won when Ohare started trash talking about you.
ReplyDelete"The wild thing could benefit from a buff personal trainer from across the isle, she’s looking more frumpy and dumpy than some of the birds I see in Walmart riding those rascal scooters"
ReplyDeleteOnly a total jerk would make a personal comment such as this. It would seem that you emulate Trump.
Thank you Dominion Voting Machines for changing all the votes from Scheller to Wild. We couldn't have done it without you.
ReplyDeleteWhat's most sad is that although Scheller congratulated Wild, Oz congratulated Fetterman and Mastriano conceded to Shapiro, I've been seeing so many memes on Facebook today that Pennsylvania voting machines cheated in every race.
Bernie, I love you. But you need a proof reader. Re-read your post. Wild is beating Wild.
ReplyDeleteMastriano almost single handedly creamed down ballot candidates. Anchor on the whole ticket. Jersey Oz didn't help either. Haven't seen numbers yet but I'm guessing Scheller once AGAIN outperformed the rest of the ticket but it just wasn't enough.
ReplyDeletePennsylvania is where MAGA supporters come to die…
ReplyDeleteSad Kevin Dellicker didn’t win the primary. She’d never stand a chance against him. No baggage.
ReplyDelete"Congratulations Susan. I knew you had it won when Ohare started trash talking about you."
ReplyDeleteOn no less than five occasions, and going back as far as the primary, I stated Wild would win this race. In my last post before the election, I wrote that she and Scheller are both good persons, nothing like the way they were portrayed in ads. I did call her out for claiming to hate negative campaigning because that is the way she has run in both of her congressional campaigns. I found that a bit hypocritical because it is. I also complimented her for being far more accessible and down-to-earth than most pols. I voted for Wild and so stated. I like Lisa Scheller but could not get past her factories in China or her close connection to extremists like Steve Lynch and Tom Carroll.
It's certainly true that I erected no shrines to either. If that's what you call trash talking, fine.
Wild votes with Biden our people must enjoy high inflation, high gas prices, no border. We do not want to hear pa citizens complain about the Biden agenda they voted for the democrats like wild so shut and live your dream.
ReplyDeleteBernie you voted for wild do not complain about what they are going to because it is going to get Bad.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it taking so long to count votes in some states--something is going on again. this situation should not happen in a the so called top demonocracy in the world.
ReplyDeleteSenator Pat Toomey was interviewed last night about the PA election results. He placed almost all blame on Doug Mastriano and the Trump-fringe of the Republican party for the losses.
ReplyDeleteToomey theorized that the Republican at the top of the ticket (Mastriano) is a far right extremist who pandered to that base only. Therefore, his extreme rhetoric trickled to all of the down ballot tickets. Toomey said that the Democrats didn't necessarily overwhelmingly win in Pennsylvania, but rather, the Republican party overwhelmingly lost in Pennsylvania.
Moreover, Toomey said that Oz was a much better candidate than Fetterman and in another time, would have handily beaten Fetterman. Unfortunately, he continued, Oz's loss should be squarely blamed on two people: Mastriano and Trump...Period.
I'm reporting. You decide.
Did I miss this, did Toomey endorse Oz
Delete11:00pm- yes, Toomey supported Oz. And, all day yesterday, almost all news stations were constantly replaying his interview where he blamed Mastriano and Trump for Pennsylvania's Blue Tsunami.
DeleteI’m Wild about Susan
ReplyDelete8:54, I agree, and would add the abortion issue having an impact. What killed Rs is the MAGA extremism and abortion. Scheller tried to pivot to the middle on abortion but was stuck with comments she made in a primary debate. Also, she refused to distance herself from MAGA extremists like Steve Lynch. The death knell, at least for me, is her two factories in Communist China, which is planning to invade Taiwan as soon as 2027.
ReplyDeleteI have been missing "Mr Truth", Steve Lynch! Where has he gone? No FB posts since Election Night cheering on Lisa. Must be in hiding.
ReplyDeleteLynch gas been suspended by Facebook again. This time for seven days, lol.
ReplyDeleteBernie- Funny enough, Lynch posted this on his Twitter:
ReplyDelete"Can't comment on fascist book because I was immediately restricted after the election for 7 days. I haven't even been putting up any crazy posts lately. Interesting..."
PAY ATTENTENTION NORTHAMPTON COUNTY: STEVE LYNCH ADMITS HE'S POSTS BAT-SHIT CRAZY!
He posts crazy, therefore... Well, you make the judgement.
Toomey supported Oz, but not Mastriano.
