As campaign struggles, Doug Mastriano plans ‘40 days of fasting and prayer’
The Republican gubernatorial candidate is losing some support among GOP allies as his cash-strapped campaign turns to Twitter memes and, apparently, divine intervention.

It was billed as a blockbuster, but ended up a flop. If Doug Mastriano’s “big rally” last weekend were a movie, its Rotten Tomatoes score would be in the single digits.

Only a few dozen supporters joined the Republican state senator on the steps of the Capitol building in Harrisburg — some of them members of a local militia group.

The photos looked bad, because it was bad. The press coverage? Brutal.

A few days earlier, Mastriano’s fund-raising troubles had become clear. He’d appeared on a conservative podcast and asked if perhaps U.S. citizens living abroad might consider contributing to his cash-strapped campaign.



Mastriano hasn’t run or booked any TV ads in response. He doesn’t do interviews with most media outlets, and won’t agree to a standard format debate.

4. For real!

Maybe they’d be allowed honey and locusts.

2. All he needs is a desert and the devil

TFG fits the bill for the latter requirement. Perhaps a remote spot in Saudi Arabia would complete his plans.

3. Better yet, go on a hunger strike without drinking water

5. He can spend the 40 days writing his concession speech

6. So, it's elect me or I'll starve myself to death. Go for it Dougie.

7. If 40 days doesn't do the trick Doug, try 80 or 120

I'm thinking your God hates quitters, and you don't want to disappoint him now, do you?

8. And cut down on water, while you're at it.

9. I'll wager he gains pounds through his 40 days of "fasting."

10. Lol. Mastriano, outspent by 27-1, just got a cash infusion but still has far less

than Democrat Josh Shapiro. I don't know what Shapiro campaign will concentrate on hitting among such a wealth of awfuls, but I hope they'll take time for Mastriano's advocacy of murder charges for women who get abortions.

11. Hey I actually saw a Mastriano yard sign yesterday

I live in the City of Pittsburgh and I'm surrounded by BLUE voters on all sides. Not many Shapiro signs on display, but I know that he'll be elected governor and he'll win by double digits in November.

The Fetterman-Oz contest is a little tighter however. I proudly display my Fetterman yard sign out front of my house, and I've seen several others nearby.
