He will, the issue is nothing will happen from it but a strongly worded letter or report.

Dr. Oz was a terrible candidate, no one really wanted him but there is no way Fetterman won without cheating. We will see if anything happens but even the dems knew he had no chance.

Here we go.... If we lost, they cheated excuse. Dr. Oz moved to PA last year. PA voters don't view him as someone that cares about, or is familiar with, PA but instead simply saw an opportunity to fulfill his #1 objective of becoming Senator. He was more consumed with becoming Senator than helping PA.
I just got back from Pennsylvania and can confirm, there are some really stupid people up there..

That said, Walker is not going to be a good Senator. It's sad how billionaires and celebrities are getting seats in the Senate now.
Reagan was a celebrity before he was a politician. Easily the best Republican president in recent history and probably the last conservative California governor up to now. Not too sad.
He was also a top 10 drug trafficker.

I totally agree. We own a home up there and some people in the neighborhood still have their Trump signs in the yard.

Wait. Arnold Schwartzenegger was a conservative republican Gov of California, right?

I'm surprised they let you leave the state.. Did you have to register?

My husband said guys on the radio reported no Trump endorsed candidates won. I assume that's what you're talking about. Sadly the candidate who won the Senate seat for NC
was endorsed by Trump. I didn't vote for him, I voted for the Libertarian.
Trump needs to stop. He's not doing anyone any favors. I honestly think if he hadn't endorsed anyone those candidates might have actually had a much better chance of winning because the progressives likely doubled down in those areas to make sure a "Trumper" didn't win.
I don't wish the man dead because that isn't right but if he just went away I wouldn't be sad.

Unfortunately he's going to be the nominee, and I think Biden will run again (unless he is somehow dead or incapacitated - yes more than he already is). I have never not voted Republican but I will not vote for Trump again. I think our best bet would be to either hold a split Congress or have a Red majority congress and keep Biden in the captain's seat (similar to how it is going to look for these final 2 years of Biden's first term).

Hahaha. Not true at all.
The test of "who is a Republican" is not " do you love Trump."
What would be your test of "who is a Republican?" Maybe you could make up a set of questions and I could answer them.
Sadly this
is the test depending on who you talk to, and I don't mean democrats. There are "republicans" who absolutely believe if you don't support Trump you're neither a patriot nor a republican. I personally know some folks who believe this and I feel sorry for them. To have such a myopic view of what qualifies someone is cultish. Folks like that are straight up Trumpers in my book.
According to many on the left, especially progressives, if you're a republican you are a Trumper. Period. The media and social media fan that flame hoping it will become an inferno.

I'd write in DeSantis's name. I damn sure wouldn't vote democrat to keep Trump out like someone else here did.

Once the choice is down to Trump and a Democrat then to not support Trump at that point is to not be a Republican. You don't have to like him, you don't have to love him, but if he's your Party's nominee then you should support him.

This line of outlook might be America's biggest political issue right now, and probably a big part of the reason that republicans missed the layup last night.

Then I guess by that definition I'm not a Republican. I'm not going to vote for anybody just because they're the Republican nominee.
Yea count me out if trump's the nominee I'll write someone in or vote LP. The party gets my support when they nominate candidates that align with my politics and values, no one gets my blind support.
I think DeSantis can beat Trump. I think most people are looking for any reason not to go through this circus again. However, it won't change anything.

It's ok to cross party lines if the candidate aligns with your political views. I've voted Republican, Democrat and third party over the years. I do understand that it's harder these days given that the candidates tend to fall farther left or right but it's not impossible.

I hope you're right. Maybe President DeSantis would improve the country, maybe things would stay the same, but at least things wouldn't end with civil war or dictatorship.

Yes, you're not. If you pick Biden over any Republican you should leave the Party.
I can ALMOST understand why they would pick Biden in 2020. I can't understand why'd they'd make that same mistake in 2024. Biden is terrible. Democrats have no good plan for Americans.

It’s a rarity these days. I would vote for Dem Dan Kildee of Michigan. He’s a real common sense guy.
