Trump Announces PA Rally, and It’s Going to Be a Barn Burner – Opinion

Donald Trump is headed to Pennsylvania to bolster his endorsees, both of which took the nominations in the state’s top races. Mehmet Oz and Doug Mastriano are struggling if you believe the polls (you probably shouldn’t), and the former president is swooping in for what is probably going to be the first of several visits to the hotly contested state.

The rally will take place in early September and there’s every reason to believe it’s going to be a barn burner.

What poll watchers in August, especially the election bro data nerds, can’t seem to grasp is that these campaigns do not really start until September. That’s when the big ad buys drop. It’s when campaign events heat up and become larger and more frequent. It’s also when most voters begin to pay attention. Heck, even regarding polling, it’s when likely voter screens become more prevalent and start to shift the results.

In other words: All the talk of doom in Pennsylvania (including from Mitch McConnell) is exaggerated and premature. There is no reason to be writing off Oz and Mastriano before there’s even been a debate. There’s certainly no reason to do so before Trump himself has even shown back up in the state given his ability to drive turnout.

Moreover, the supposed strength that the Democrat enemies have is a mirage. John Fetterman is an idiot who lives off his fake online persona. He tried to get back on the campaign trail in a video that was too bad. Fetterman ignored his doctor for years, had a massive stroke, and now speaks like he’s been doing crack for the last 30 years. There’s a reason he won’t commit to doing a single debate, and it’s not because he’s just so darn clever.

Fetterman claims to be an average street-dweller, but that is a lie. He went to Harvard, became a professional bum and lived off his family until the age of 50. His sister helped him buy a $1 house. The guy is a fraud, and the more this campaign drags on, the more apparent that’s going to be.

And you know who isn’t going to be afraid to say all that? Donald J. Trump.

The house can guarantee that Fetterman’s former president will don the gloves and take on Fetterman in a heated exchange about issues that Oz was too slow to discuss. It’s going to be hilarious, and yes, I think it will help move the needle.

Lastly, as a suggestion, if I were Trump, I’d be calling Kathy Barnette and asking her to appear to give a formal endorsement of Oz. There is too much party splitting going on. Oz won the primary; he deserves to be supported.
