PA's US Senate Seat Election 2022

[Walleye Hunter]

I*ve been trying to figure out why they keep saying Barnette is not electable. Are they afraid because of her skin color? Parts of Pa do have a strong reputation of being anti black. Those parts would be needed to get a candidate elected in November and normally vote republican if you look at the voting maps. Are Trump, Hannity and others concerned that people in those areas would stay home giving Fetterman an easy win in their eyes but don*t want to say it out loud?

I don't get it either and for what she'd lose because of her color, she should gain some on the other end as well.

Here's a write-up from the Liberty Daily regarding Sean Hannity's claims against Barnette:

Debunking Sean Hannity*s Desperate (and False) Accusations Against Kathy Barnette

Fox News host Sean Hannity has spent an awful lot of time and credibility in recent days attacking U.S. Senate candidate Kathy Barnette. He endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz in the Republican primary, and as I was told recently by Brannon Howse at Worldview Weekend, there are credible reports Hannity was the driving force in getting Donald Trump to endorse Oprah*s famous doctor.

This would make sense considering the all-out attacks Hannity and others have been engaged in against Barnette. His show last night was a doozy as he continued to go nuclear on the Black female veteran who nobody was talking about until she surged into a virtual three-way tie with Dr. Oz and David McCormick. Now, she*s a target.

Thankfully, many America First patriots are coming to her defense even as people like Hannity and Ric Grenell fall on their swords to try to save Donald Trump from an embarrassing loss by Dr. Oz.

There is one huge falsehood that is being spread by cronies of Dr. Oz which I will debunk thoroughly below. But before we get to that, I wanted to share the thoughts of other conservatives who have looked into the accusations against Barnette and come to a very different conclusion than what Sean Hannity is pushing...

I don't get it either and for what she'd lose because of her color, she should gain some on the other end as well.

From the article mentioned above, there's a bit of discussion about her perceived electability issues:

Despite the various attempts by Hannity et al to cast doubt on Barnette’s character, the one argument that seems to be sticking with many conservatives is her electability. Many are basing this on claims that she was embarrassingly defeated in 2020 by a “weak” Democrat. On Thursday’s show, he said [emphasis added]:

“Kathy Barnett has not gotten any kind of vigorous, rigorous vetting that is now proving to be a massive problem in this race. Here’s why… In 2020 she was not a serious candidate in her congressional race she lost to a pretty weak Democrat by 19 points.”

What Hannity doesn’t mention is that the “weak” Democrat was Madeleine Dean, a Democrat incumbent in a very blue district. Compared to Dan David who ran against Dean in 2018, Barnette dramatically outperformed him, getting 48% more votes than David got in his race against Dean two years earlier.

Hannity and others are hoping that voters will equate losing in 2020 in a congressional race to a loss in 2022 in a senate race. This is unambiguously false and extremely disingenuous for them to rely on the ignorance of many voters. Her very strong performance in a very blue district is why she would almost certainly win in a statewide senate race.

That is a good article.

I*ve been trying to figure out why they keep saying Barnette is not electable. Are they concerned because of her skin color? Parts of Pa do have a strong reputation of being anti black. Those parts would be needed to get a candidate elected in November and normally vote republican if you look at the voting maps. Are Trump, Hannity and others concerned that people in those areas would stay home giving Fetterman an easy win in their eyes but don*t want to say it out loud?

There is this idea that PA republicans should nominate a senatorial candidate that the radical leftists will like just to win the election....

WHAT THE HELL KIND OF A STUPID IDEA IS THAT?

Elect a Rino that will vote like a liberal just so you can have another "R" in the Senate?

What's the point of that?

I am bot voting in the prinary to find a candidate that the radical left will like I want one the radical left will hate.

You don't move towards their eveil ways to get votes. You become more conservative to force the left to move right to get yours.

Because the first Black woman US Senator from PA wouldn't make a good human interest story.

You just don't get the nuances of 4D political chess. Only winning and the status quo matters. Not voting for progressive RINOs shows your childish simple-minded thinking.

Here's the Steve Deace show from Thursday. Kathy interview starts at 31:00, and he accurately rips the RINOs and dirty tricksters afterwards.

This why. According to Greg Kelly. It's what Trump and others meant when they stated she hasn't been properly vetted and there are things in her past to which she hasn't responded.

I thought she didn't have her Coggins papers when they said that she hadn't been vetted.

Someone is running the Barnette is da debll ads here on Philly TV. She must be doing something right. Rattling their apple cart.

She already had my vote. Hearing her reference Dr. James Dobson at the end cements my vote for her even more.
