Keystone Primary!

Tonight somebody will win.

Those living in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as well as Idaho, Kentucky, North Carolina and Oregon get to vote in their primaries. 

Sen. Karen Toomey (R-PA) and Sen. Karen Burr (R-NC) are retiring. 

Sen. Ron Wyden, Sen. Karen Paul (R-KY) and Sen. Karen Crapo (R-ID) are running and are likely to win their nomination.

Given how the 2022 year is, I have the Midterms as a TOSS UP. 

Inflation, gridlock in Washington, the Supreme Court leak saying it will overturn Roe v. Wade, President Joe Biden's job approval, Republican obstructionism, white nationalist terrorism, supply shortages and culture wars are on the ballot.

The chances are simple: 

Will Lt. Gov. John Fetterman become the nominee?

I say, no (but I could be wrong). I want to be honest about this. He ran before and did not get the nomination. The junk food media has heavily promoted him and his troll army is just as worse as Nina Turner's. Fetterman does not seem serious about the job. He dresses like a bum. He is a red flag on policies. He is resorts to slogans and ad hominem attacks on rivals. He has no strong appeal as a nominee. He also had allegedly chased a Black jogger with a gun. He also had a stroke and that can greatly affect a campaign especially if you're a nominee. He ended active campaigning on Thursday and confirms that his wife will represent him going forth regardless of win or lose. It makes me nervous.

Will Kathy Barnette shock the world and defeat Washed Up 45's pick of Dr. Mehmet Oz?

I don't know. Two polarizing figures on television and both resorting to extremism to win over the conservative base is pathetic. They have no regards to the deadly attack in Buffalo. They offer no real solutions other than blaming the president. The far right has been at each others odds over the candidates. The far right believe Barnette is more MAGA than Karen McCormick and Oz. The mainstream far right is saying that Washed Up 45's pick is better suited. Barnette ran before and has no real policies or a clear agenda other than being a Black conservative. She said that if she loses, she might back the nominee. Oz has the support of Softball Hannity amd it infuriates many on the far right because they claim he acts like the left.

Why can't I determine who will win?

To be honest, Pennsylvania candidates for governor, senate and statewide offices are not appealing to voters. Democrats do not want to gamble their chances by nominating a polarizing nominee. The fears of having a candidate that could be a distraction is high if Letterman or Malcolm Kenyatta wins. They feel that Conor Lamb is likely a person that appeals to Democrats. However, if Lamb wins, will he earn the progressive voters who feel like Fetterman was the best choice? Republicans are stronger going in because they support white nationalism and culture wars are their best weapon. Having a Black woman on the ballot does not appeal to white nationalists.

They would grumble about her but in the end vote to stop Biden from winning.

So tonight, I will await the endgame. Whoever wins will have a difficult road ahead.
