Yes, our jr senator is disappointed he was unable to take healthcare away from millions of Americans and thousands of Pennsylvanians.
Pat's not up for reelection for 5 years, but we Pennsylvanians have long memories.

(9,258 posts)IMO McGinty was a weak candidate with some baggage she couldn't overcome. Unfortunately we are stuck with Pat the Rat for 5.5 years. Hoping then we can *resoundingly* show him the door like we did to Frothy Rick in 2006.

I will never understand the GOP politicians, they are so at odds with the concept of representing their own state and being a "professional politician" in a good way. Toomey is a perfect example of a man who would destroy his own constituency for ideological dreams. He is really Paul Ryan's Ayn Randian brother.
We can't count on him to serve the public of his state. Thank God for Bob Casey, a true public servant.

(12,319 posts)The part that is astounding to me is the thousands upon thousands of Pennsylvanians who would've lost their healthcare AND their jobs, and he didn't care! UPMC is the biggest employer in western PA.
Pat Toomey doesn't care about Pennsylvanians' lives OR their jobs. He makes me sick.
