Those who will vote for the quack are those who will vote for Cheato Boy. They chose noise over facts.

Being a criminal and or a liar doesn’t really matter anymore. Money plus celebrity plus gerrymandering means he still has a very good shot at winning.

I have heard of gerrymandering, but across state lines is a new one.

It used to be “anybody can become President” now it’s “any idiot can become president”.

Bring on the Flying Monkeys!

Gotta say the ad itself is really well-done. Clever concept.

This is a Senate race. PA has plenty of gerrymandered Congressional districts, but that doesn’t affect the voting for Senator.

There’s a very old word for jumping states to be a “leader”: carpetbagger.

I’m familiar with that term. Just not familiar with that term being used to describing an aspiring congressperson (house/senate) unwilling to reside in and “represent” their district/state.

Since it was also a slur on northerners who tried to help with Reconstruction – their horrible attempt to help include black people in regular society – it’s probably best avoided though.

True, in this statewide race, it isn’t relevant. But in PA, Democrats are a 60/40 majority, and the gerrymandering has given the GOP 70/30 control of state congressional seats. It’s crazy, and it’s not getting better.
