the last couple of months I began to see Oz signs all over. Millions of dollars of dark money backed Oz.

Go back to New Jersey. Go back to Turkey, you still are a dual citizen.

Erdogan seems to be doing a good enough job of destroying democracy without Oz's help!

New Jersey, yes - they seem to be fairly solidly Democratic, aren't they?

People in this country need to think long and hard about how they view others as well as political candidates. It's like social media has vaporized our collective ability to suss out motives and intent.

So glad he lost. I live in PA and the proliferation of OZ signs was truly disheartening.

Proud of my fellow Pennsylvanians and of Big John.

to give Moscow Mitch control is enough to make one VERY ill!!!!!!!!!!!!

The race was far closer than it should have been - I'm sure the stroke had a lot to do with it - but NO QUESTION the better man won!

and he'd be their next capped tooth, charismatic celebrity to be elected president. Unlike TFG, he wouldn't try to run things, he'd do as he was told.

We might have dodged a bullet. Thanks, PA.

Why would a member of the "ban all Muslims party" want that ?

Wait what, WHO endorsed Oz ? Mr. Muslim Ban himself ?

Now I'm just confused.
