1. Little commentary on PA #Poll instead of responding to everyone in individual replies.

When the Generic Ballot and Most Important Issues are published, it'll help illustrate the following:

Look at undecideds, especially by EDU. Fetterman/Shapiro are near their ceilings.
2. Repeat: Look at undecideds, especially by EDU. @JohnFetterman & @JoshShapiroPA are near their ceilings. Very few ADV/Post-Grads & 4-Years undecided compared to Some / Associate and HS / Less, who break hard for @dougmastriano & @DrOz.

Continued...
3. You'll also see the same shortly with issue voters and Trump vs. Biden voters. Voters who cite GOP-friendly issues (Econ/Jobs/Inflation/etc) this cycle are far more undecided than those who cite DEM-friendly issues (Abortion/Climate Change/Etc).

Further, Biden approval...
4. Further, Biden approval among undecided groups is not just bad, but awful. The intensity spread—strongly disapprove vs. strongly approve—is huge.

Historically, these voters are highly likely to break for Mastriano and Oz, but EDU is likely to exacerbate that later movement.
5. A big question for me was whether down ballot statewide GOP candidates could do as well with voters in Northeastern Pennsylvania as Donald Trump.

Both of them are pretty darn close, especially Mastriano, while Oz performs shockingly well in the Pittsburg burbs in Allegheny.
6. What does all this mean? Mastriano and Oz just have to turn those people out and they'll overtake Shapiro and Fetterman. Oz still has work to do on base consolidation, but the rally, student loan forgiveness, and the raid will likely help him on that front.

We shall see.
7. One more thing on base consolidation. Trump's base in PA is not just identified and registered Republican voters. See Trump & Mastriano among Indies vs. Oz.

There simply aren't many "Nones/NPAs" in PA. Registered DEMs (more con) will call themselves Indies when you ask them.

Folks, do me a favor, read this article from 2014 from Ben Shapiro.

This guy has been lost in the sauce for a LONG time.

Watch...
creators.com/read/ben-shapi…
And @benshapiro: "McCain and Romney were, by any measure, more conservative overall than Trump."

Are you F------ kidding me?
townhall.com/columnists/ben…
And more @benshapiro: "Trump, obviously, is no conservative."

Adding, "Pretending otherwise means flailing uselessly as demagogues like Trump become faux-conservative standard-bearers."

Notice DeSantis cheerleaders always deflect when you ask them whether they’re naive enough to believe they won’t treat him the same way?

Tallahassee is NOT D.C.

If RDS is a threat, he will be targeted the same way and if he’s not, it means he’s not a threat.
For instance, look at @BarackObama. It was very clear very quickly that there was never any real hope for real change.

Why?

They liked him too much. Status quo actors like the administrative state and security state don’t like you unless you play ball.

Obama played both balls.
Being accused of being Hitler is kid’s play. They accused Bush and Cheney of being Hitler and now they’re besties. I’ve not seen the allegations that Ron is a Russian Agent who sold out his country and in various other ways committed treason and should be prosecuted.

Sempolinski takes a 600-vote lead in #NY23 and #NY19 is down to 6k, or just 52.8% to 47.2%.
Sempolinski wins.
Bad result for Republicans tonight, folks.

Look at South Florida. Look at New York.

It's hard to draw big conclusions off of races like this. But without a doubt, they're underperforming Donald Trump.

Look @bennyjohnson! What did we talk about yesterday? How predictable.

Truth Bomb: Liz Cheney is more likely to take votes from the Democratic nominee than Donald Trump.
Over the last year, Democrats have been more likely than Republicans to tell us they'd vote for "Someone else" in hypothetical matchups against Donald Trump.

Liz Cheney got only about 10% of the Republican vote in her home state.

How badly would she do nationally? Much worse.
It's essentially a reverse of the mistake Republicans made after 2016 just assuming that Gary Johnson hurt Donald Trump more than Hillary Clinton.

When polling in 2020, us and just about everyone knew that was a net Biden bloc.

They were not Ross Perot-like.

Neither is Cheney.

Folks, @RepLizCheney / @Liz_Cheney, in one of the most delusional acts ever showcased by a politician, compared herself to Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant in a speech delivered after losing an election by 30 points (current).

What a fucking delusional idiot.
Not kidding. Someone should medicate @RepLizCheney / @Liz_Cheney.

Whatever recent drugs are for delusional idiots, well, that's what they need to give her.

This is not the behavior of someone in touch with reality and no amount of favorable coverage can cover for this illness.
If, next year, I ran as a REP in a Trump +50 district and LOST, but then started comparing myself to Lincoln and Grant in a sad a$$ attempt to tee up a presidential run, I'd hope Laura would commit my a$$ and take me off the table.

That was @RepLizCheney / @Liz_Cheney 2nite.
