What could go wrong helping extremist be elected in the primary so you can beat them? Everything. You name it. In Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro has a fight on his hands now with Mastriano. If Mastriano wins, women can kiss goodbye any reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights-gone...transgender you better move. Mastriano wants a theocracy. Be careful what you ask for. Interracial marriage is at risk but may be protected by Clarence Thomas. This was a stupid, dangerous strategy. In spite of this craziness I am heeding Liz Cheney's warning- don't look away!

Anyone who thinks Doug Mastriano doesn't have a chance is delusional and hasn't spent a second in red Pennsylvania. The barn-sized banners are already up across the countryside. He speaks Trumpish fluently, is an actual veteran, and is exactly the kind of crazy they love and crave. I think many like me were moderately confident that Shapiro could ride Fetterman's coattails, but I get more concerned every day with the latter's continued absence no matter how hard his wife is working. I fear the national party leadership will pay dearly for assuming the clowns will defeat themselves.
