She's running for US Senate in PA. She very pro 2a, Christian, hates gays, hates muslims. Rinos hate her. Trump hates her because she's opposing his rino candidate Dr. Oz.
From CNN
In comments on her radio show, she said accepting homosexuality would lead to the accepting of incest and pedophilia. One post she wrote called a transgender person "deformed" and "demonic."
Could she really be our girl 😻?
She's good, but she should be running in Mississippi or some other deep-red state, not Pennsylvania.
That said, I'd rather have a Democrat than a pro-BLM, pro-child mutilation GOP like Dr. Oz.
The only important thing is can she win. We can't afford not to play politics.
I think she's a bit extreme. Could be good for PA, though. Someone who guts their dem stranglehold and ends the welfare state that allows the thugs and ghettos to reign over that shithole of a state is always welcome.
Please don't do this.
She will definitely be another Christine O'Donell and Todd Akin.
Oz and McCormick are meh candidates but either one of them can still actually win.
Kathy Barnette will definitely lose.
The best pollster Richard Baris said that a Mastriano for Governor and Barnette for Senate ticket would be political suicide.
For Governor please vote Lou Barletta. He is the only guy who can prevent a Mastriano nomination disaster.

Even Trump has said Kathy Barnette will lose.

Even Trump? Trump is backing pro-BLM, pro-child mutilation Dr. Oz, so of course he will say that woman opposing Oz is a sure loser (so vote for his guy!)
That said, I do not think she has a lot of charisma, her views (which I like except for abortion and economics) are solid for me but not a good fit for PA. And the rape story is just creepy as hell.
Trump has never made any claims of electability in his endorsements.
He only calls candidates RINOs.
This is the first time he has claimed a candidate will lose the general election as his rationale.
Richard Baris is the best pollster in the country. If he says a Mastriano for Governor and Barnette for Senate ticket would be political suicide, I am inclined to think it is likely.
Pennsylvania is the most important swing state in the country and we need a Republican governor to stop mass mail in ballots and repeal Act 77 in PA.
PA Senate is crucial to gain the Senate majority
I hope the PA Republican base does not let the Dems get a free win in the PA governor and PA senate by nominating the two unwinnable candidates of Mastriano and Barnette.
Trump will do whatever is good for Trump. And what is good for Trump here is for his candidate to prevail. And if that means calling someone unelectable, he will do that.
There are, however, serious questions about this lady's electability.
I agree with you, at least as far as the Gov goes. Please do remember though that it was the GOP legislature that passed the mass mail in law with the addendum that it can only be challenged within 90 days of its passage.
For fuck sake, don't do this again. Remember Luther Strange v Roy Moore?
Yes, I remember Donald Trump throwing Roy Moore under the bus and claiming Moore had "credible" allegations against him after Moore was falsely accused of statutory rape by a feminist harpy, just so Moore would lose and Trump could be "right" about Moore being unelectable.
Better check your memory then. Trump backed Moore in the general, despite him admitting to ontoward behavior with underage girls, and he still lost.
Memory checked!

OK, now you are moving the goalposts. You first said that Trump did not support Moore, which he did (unfortunately), and now you bring up campaigning. You can support someone without going out of your way to campaign for him.
Also, was he wrong that Moore's explanations were bizarre?
I never said Trump didn't "support" Moore, "support" in the sense that Trump urged people to vote for Moore. That "support" was backhanded at worse & half-hearted at best with Trump talking out of both sides of his mouth.
I brought up campaigning because of the reason that Trump wasn't campaigning for Moore.
"Vote for Roy Moore. Why am I not campaigning for him? It is not presidential business or any other reason I could cite, I just think Roy Moore, the guy I told you to vote for, has credible allegations of rape against him."
That sends a negative message to the voters, a negative message that Trump intentially sent because Trump wanted to look like a King Maker and Moore winning would have made Trump look bad for supporting Luther Strange over Moore in the primaries. Trump got to gloat about "Moore being unelectable" and that Trump made the "correct" choice in choosing Strange, while it was Trump's actions that made Moore look terrible to would-be Republican voters.
If he wanted Moore to lose, he could have simply not endorsed the guy. You're uncommonly silly.
If Trump wanted Moore to win, Trump wouldn't have said Moore's rape allegations were credible. It does not matter if Trump endorses Moore if Trump also sabotages Moore.
And ofcourse Trump endorsed Moore, he would have pissed off his fan base if he hadn't done that, so Trump made his endorsement of Moore as backhandly & half-heartedly as he possibly could.
That didn't happen.
It did happen.

Roy Moore. I still get tingly feelings when I remember he lost.
I agree with you here, but I expected different examples (Theresa May or something).
Theresa May won the "primary" in England because everyone else dropped out to let her. It isn't comparable.
I meant that I thought you would oppose this one because you're such a fan of her demographic.
I don't like Oz either, he promoted castrating kids.
Rock and a hard place.
Glad I'm not in the state, or I'd hate myself for either choice.
Trump said Oz though, so that's the right option. Maybe he knows something about this woman we don't.
Don't be a cultist. Trump can be wrong, and he often is. I'd say the McCormick character, Kenny's dad, is probably the best choice, AFAIK an establishment RINO larping as a Maga King supporter.
