Trafalgar: Dark Horse Kathy Barnette Is Suddenly In Position for a Major Upset for the Pennsylvania Republican Senate Primary

We have two unpalatable options in Pennsylvania: The Bush-backed Establishment jagoff McCormick, or the Oprah liberal Mehmet Oz.

Oz was endorsed by Trump but, who cares, he's a lefty flake.

But what if suddenly there was a third possibility?

barnett.jpg

Politico calls her an "Ultra-MAGA commentator."


Kathy Barnette has been outspent 358-to-1 on TV in Pennsylvania's GOP primary for the Senate. She hasn't run for statewide office before. She doesn't have former President Donald Trump's endorsement.

But the ultra-MAGA commentator is surging in the polls anyway in the final weeks of one of the most expensive and closely watched races in the country.


Barnette's unlikely -- and, to some, unbelievable -- rise has turned heads in political circles across the state because it defies political logic. Just two years ago, she lost a House bid in the Philadelphia suburbs by a wide margin. This time around, her opponents Mehmet Oz and David McCormick have spent $12.4 million and $11.4 million on television commercials, respectively, according to the ad-tracking firm AdImpact. Other candidates and outside groups have bankrolled $25 million more in spots. Oz has also won a highly sought-after nod from Trump.


Barnette, on the other hand, has spent a paltry $137,000 on TV.


"Barnette's apparent rise is surprising just because of the lack of notoriety or resources compared to some of the other candidates in that race," said Brian Nutt, a Pennsylvania-based Republican strategist who is not working for a candidate in the contest.

Barnette has a purist's zeal, a compelling life story, and the ability to tell it to Republican grassroots voters. And, according to Republican strategists and officials across the state, Barnette is likely benefiting from a smashmouth primary that features Oz and McCormick going nuclear on each other on TV. GOP voters have been inundated with attack ads slamming Oz as a "RINO" and McCormick as a stooge for China, leading some to look for a third option.

...

"They're spending $50 million on ads. That is their campaign," she said of her opponents. "Unless there's some high-falutin' press conference or debates or events to go to, it's overwhelmingly on television. And it's these plastic, little run-of-the-mill political ads."

...

"I think it's real. I've had grassroots political people tell me for a while that when there's candidate forums, she's the one who has the most enthusiasm. And what was said about her was, 'Boy, I really like her, but she can't win,'" said Chris Mottola, a GOP consultant and Pennsylvania native who is not involved in the race. "With Oz and McCormick just savaging each other, they wind up with high negatives. All of a sudden, you're like, 'Well, why not vote for her? I do really like her.'"

GOP consultants said another factor that helps explain her bump in the polls is her link to state Sen. Doug Mastriano, the frontrunner in the state's GOP primary for governor. Mastriano and Barnette have endorsed each other and campaigned alongside each other.

...

Like Mastriano, Barnette has made false statements about voter fraud in 2020. She said at a debate that it is "absolutely not" time for the GOP to move past the presidential election.

"Her numbers are starting to line up with Mastriano's," said Christopher Nicholas, a longtime Pennsylvania-based GOP consultant. "He endorsed her and she endorsed him, and I said at the time she got the better of that deal."

Politico discusses the polling from various houses. It seems to me that this is real, and now that the word is really out with this Trafalgar poll, I think... well, I think the race is over, in her favor.

I imagine Trump is going to un-endorse Oz.

...


Rob Gleason, former chair of the state's Republican Party, said "it would be the story of the century if she would win."

"I'm not so sure that she is in the mix," said Gleason, who endorsed McCormick. "I can't even believe that she would be in the mix the way these guys have spent money."

If Barnette is surging, it would show that parts of the MAGA movement have outpaced Trump himself.

A former Trump aide described Barnette as running in the "hardcore MAGA lane despite the Trump endorsement of Oz." On his show, Bannon said others call her "pure MAGA -- in fact, Kathy Barnette may be ultra-MAGA."

One example of her purist approach: in an April debate, Barnette said "MAGA does not belong to President Trump."

"Our values never, never shifted to President Trump's values," she said. "It was President Trump who shifted and aligned with our values."

She's discussed the fact that she herself is the "byproduct of rape" -- her mother was raped at age 11.


Pennsylvania Republican Senate primary candidate Kathy Barnette spoke out Monday about her experience as the "byproduct of a rape," and why she is running for the U.S. Senate.

...

She disclosed during a recent debate she is the "byproduct of a rape" -- discussing how her then-11-year-old mother was impregnated by a 21-year-old man.


"Regarding the leak, whether it was truly that -- just a leak -- or whether it was some kind of tactical operation, we will figure that out sooner rather than later," said Barnette, who would be the first Black female Republican in the Senate.


"I am so grateful that our nation is at a point where we're having this discussion: I don't think there's any discussion more important than how we, as a nation, view life," she said.

Barnette told "America's Newsroom" that if the story about how she was born "saves one life" from being aborted, it was worth the sensitive disclosure.

"My life was valuable then. I was a person then. I took no part in how I was conceived. And yet there I was."

She also said President Biden hasn't been clear enough in condemning "violence" related to the leak, as a Wisconsin pro-life organization was targeted with Molotov cocktails and justices' homes were converged upon by angry demonstrators.

There's video of her speaking on Fox at the link.

I'm not sure that an "Ultra-MAGA" type is the right fit for Pennsylvania, but this is probably the right time to gamble, given that the alternatives are poor. The rule that we should vote for "the most conservative candidate who can win" presupposes that we are voting for a conservative in the first place, after all. I don't know that McCormick or Oz satisfy that prerequisite. There is simply no point electing yet another Establishment liberal to the Senate. They are Democrats in all but name. Yes, they will vote for Mitch McConnell's eternal agenda of corporate tax cuts but I'm quite sure I no longer give a shit about Mitch McConnell's eternal agenda of corporate tax cuts.

I've been thinking and thinking about this race - and again, I'm a registered Dem so I can't participate or anything and I'll vote for whoever comes out

but my worries about Ms Barnette - after just listening to the ads and the interviews etc with those two guys - Oz and McCormick - they are just awful candidates. And Oz is a nice enough guy personally I like him. but no.

so Ms Barnette polled well in the latest ones and I do think she has a chance! and of the three she is the best option.

so I just wanted to say I've changed my mind on her and hope she can win! I can admit when I'm off base! I think I was on this.

Remember it is false to say there was fraud in the 2020 election because no one has produced 6 million ballots for Biden that say "TOTALLY FAKE" on them, however white supremacists cops are totes killing millions of innocent rappers just about to turn their lives around every year.

81 When has Trump ever lectured his base about *anything*? Maybe when he turned against Bush at the beginning and gave him culpability for 9/11. And it was hardly a lecture but it definitely went against the grain.

But I think Trump's record of not treating his base like retards is pretty fucking stellar. This idea that he wants to "tell them so" on any subject is unusually retarded.

120 See? This is just further evidence of the terrifying, fascistic rot throughout the radical right wing and the troubling undercurrent of oppression in the MAGA movement.

Donald Trump is a key figure in promoting the perverse MAGA values, but even he is not firmly in control of the monster he has created. If Barnette succeeds in winning her primary bid, is evidence that the MAGA problem is even worse than we feared and that the cultists in that movement are even willing to oppose their leader if it will result in deepening their radicalism. Even as their hateful and bigoted leader tries to steer the direction of the movement he created, he may ultimately lose control to even more radical elements.

This is troubling, but still not the final word. If she wins her primary then we must ALL work diligently to ensure she loses the general election - and in so doing, we will do more to repudiate the MAGA cult than anything else. It will show that the radical MAGA cultists are unwelcome in America. If this happens, we must be prepared to crack down on the upswell of right-wing violence that will surely follow her just defeat.

One of my early Iron Man comics (bought back in the 80's you bandwagon fans!) is of Tony Stark fighting Ultimo (a giant robot.) He gets the crap beat out of him.

In the comics, that was usually how it worked: Stark would run into a new enemey who would beat the shit out of him (damage to the suit was key.) Then he would go back to the drawing board, design and fabricate a new, better suit and win easily.

It was one thing I really liked about Iron Man. He could become better and was never really beaten because his super power was that he was really smart and innovative.

You do more damage to the pro-life cause by equivocating on this point. If it's ok for liberals to argue against the death penalty in all cases - and you inevitably are defending guilty people at least some of the time - all innocent life should be defended just as vigorously.

In Barnette's case, if someone wants to advocate aborting a product of rape, they'll need to say that to her face.

It's appalling. To equate any punishment of Donald Trump - formal or informal, legal or extralegal, state or corporate - with immorality is obscene. *Trump* is immoral. *His* decisions and actions are morally bad.

233 > And, according to Republican strategists and officials across the state, Barnette is likely benefiting from a smashmouth primary that features Oz and McCormick going nuclear on each other on TV. GOP voters have been inundated with attack ads slamming Oz as a "RINO" and McCormick as a stooge for China, leading some to look for a third option.

Politico's analysis completely ignores Facebook and Twitter. People like Poso have been on Twitter linking videos of Oz being a RINO squish or outright lefty. Those tweets and others are being shared around on Twitter and Facebook.

I have no idea how much that changes the calculus, but it's hilarious Politico's analysis focuses only on traditional avenues of campaign and information dissemination.

meanwhile Sean Gale has an "attack ad" for Kathy and it's so terrible it makes her look better! actually I think his dumbass ad made me switch to liking her best. he has a recording of her supposedly "playing the race card" but it's just her being a smart ass - I mean come on. you'd have to hear it but it's literally the opposite of his point. he's so stupid he (Gale) HAS to be a plant! his brother too. they're weirdos.

Depending on how "Ultra MAGA" is defined, that seems like a reason to vote for her. She's also pro-life, like...no shit pro-life, which is the point about her mom. She's less likely to "grow" on the issue. None of them are a reason to vote for the douches.

Indeed. She looks less awful than Oz, but will she be a real force for truth and justice? Will she follow the constitution and fight for small government? Will she vote with the party line or do what is right even if it costs her? Chances are, no. But maybe, maybe she'll be more good than bad.

The problem is fraud. Liberals claim the pregnancy is from rape just to get Medicare funding.

I get the optic of "forcing a woman to carry to term" - what I am arguing for is taking back the culture and not instantly conceding that every rape victim should or would kill their baby. That less than 3% of rapes result in pregnancy and that there should be some arrested rapists if an abortion is requested.

338 > Body armor at a range? Collapsible stock collapsed. Looks like a 10 pound AR. Not saying that I don't appreciate issues that are important to me being paid *some* attention. But I am wary of something that looks like a staged photo intended to get me to believe she is just like me in re: 2A.

I don't wear body armor at the range, but some people "train how they fight" and find it important to go to the range in full kit. The collapsed stock could be explained by training in body armor.

One shooting stance that's taught for when wearing body armor is shoulders square to the target and the buttstock placed more center on your chest. This stance with armor requires a shorter stock than traditional. The benefit is incoming fire is more likely to be caught in the center of the armor and not in the unarmored sides. The stock in the center of your chest makes turning faster and the stock mount is more natural. It looks alien if you're used to the traditional long gun bladed stance with the buttstock in your shoulder pocket.

As to the heavier rifle, maybe she's using her husband's gun until she can afford her own.

397 Viscious is a funny show, two old bitter queens with a dollop of classic British dry humor.

Ian McKellen sees wokism as the death knell for entertainment that it is, spoke out about it recently. Said he enjoys exploring the fascinating world of heterosexuality in his roles, and thinks only playing parts that are like you is limiting. I doubt he will make a dent, but it was refreshing.

Hardly. But the dialog is sharp. (McKellen says he knew Jacobi years ago when they were young, and had something of a crush on him. Or maybe it was the other way around. Anyway, nothing ever happened with them.) It's neat to see 2 top-notch British actors using their 4 decades of stagecraft.

I like the yard work idea. Just moving around with the armor for extended periods is good. Especially with the plates.

Running check drills in a dry fire environment helps with the muscle memory.

You can use with laser cartridges in both weapons, but be careful of the impacts to the elbows, cause you're always running a closed bolt, forcing a charge cycle to reset the trigger and inspect the breech.

A big help is to obtain a green gas Airsoft AR (shill for KWA Law Enforcement Training Rifle), which will run the bolt in simulated recoil so you actually have an open breech to check when you transition back to the rifle AND all you have to do is hit the bolt release - just like normal ops.

462 Taste varies, I won't try to argue you into liking Iron Man 3. I found good stuff in it, including some great dialog and I liked Tony being pathetic and still manning up and finding a way to be a hero. But fuck the Mandarin, that bullshit pissed me off. So did the Super Powered Pepper Potts.

That didn't bother me much. I mean, there's plenty of reasons not to like Gwyneth Paltrow at all, but Pepper getting super powers in that way, within the storyline of the movie, worked a heck of a lot better than Captain Marvel just showing up a few movies later and being stronger than everyone else combined.

Also, they had her go back to normal five minutes later, so it wasn't something you had to live with.

463 The idea of a woman being raped and being legally forced to carry the child to term is nightmare fuel.

You know what's nightmare fuel? Murdering a helpless innocent baby for the crime of having a terrible father. Not only is that horribly immoral, its unconstitutional to punish the child for the father's crime. And we don't even execute rapists.

As I've said here before, I know women who were raped, carried their baby to birth, and were healed by the experience, finding good in the evil they experienced.

I don't think the founders intended House to Senate to President at all. They had no concept of a permanent political class, just the opposite.

The problem is the 2 parties have become so powerful and money is so pervasive in politics that once someone gets elected in either house getting rid of them is difficult as long as they play to the establishment. It's a form of corruption, vote with the establishment and you get the money and support to keep your job and that becomes more important than principle.

Cat. If cat gets rat, carry cat with mouse in mouth to somewhere you don't mind the mess to clean up. Its usually pretty clean though. Their tribe uses the whole rat.

Toss the cat in, if he'd big enough to handle a rat, and close the door so the rat is locked in with the predator. The rat guts will be fairly easy to clean up from tile.

547 Trump is loyal to his friends and he expects them to be loyal to him. Doesn't always work but that's why he endorsed Oz.

He's trying to build a governing coalition against Mitch. He's been saying this for about a year now. And he believes Oz will be a loyal ally in the Senate despite his past positions.

Not more complicated than that.

570 454 So "ultra-MAGA" is the new admin epithet for "white nationalist." First of all, it's ridiculous and lame. Secondly, it's funny just how fast the media apparatchiks picked it up and ran with it. It spilled from Brandon's porridge-hole what? Yesterday? And this cheesy neologism is already in the pages of Politico as if its been in the dictionary for years, now.

Kayleigh McEnany said "Ultra-Maga" was pushed by Anita Dunn in a White House meeting a few days ago. I think it's going to be a bust for them. It's already been co-opted by Trump supporters like Steve Bannon.

Look at South Dakota, where the two largest employers in the state, both medical systems, decided to get heavily involved pushing extreme left social positions (having only perverse relationships to quality medical care).

SD is a completely red state, no Democrats in office, except for Kristi Noem and her corporate allies.
