The one land mine that oz needed to avoid was abortion bans.

He drove right into the pit.

For a snake oil salesman he really isn't good at talking.

He failed.

He was a pretty good comedian, though. Asparagus on a veggie tray? 😂

My personal opinion for what it's worth- I think he purposely tanked his own campaign. It was getting more obvious he wasn't really gaining any ground, he was pouring copious amounts of his own cash into the race, more than half the country and tv personalities made him a laughing stock. His ego just couldn't take it. Plus he was tired of PA rednecks fawning all over him. He had to act like he liked them.

It felt like a slip for sure.

Maybe subconsciously he wanted to go back to the quiet life and realized being a senator doesn't get you in the spotlight the same way being on television with a tall show does.

Maybe he realized that being in a state such as Pennsylvania is so purple that it's 50/50 and many people will hate you.

Yeah, I was surprised by that, too.

Everything that usually comes out of his mouth must be scripted.
