Why? Can't answer for Trump but can tell a little. The primary, McCormick is a straight up RINO. Barnette had some bad shit in her past. She would do well enough in the T but get beaten like a rented mule in Philly and Pittsburgh by Uncle Festerman. Team Trump probably ran the numbers, did some oppo research, and figured Oz was our best bet to beat Festerman.
Festerman is a douchebag wannabe jagoff (Pittsburghese for a-hole). But he's also a PA native, spent time in Braddock, and can talk the talk. Especially to white working class voters in Pitt and the T. The fact that anyone beleives the blue collar union guy bullshit astounds me. Team Trump rightfully figured it would be a competitive race. No fan of us, but I agree with Trump. Oz is the right guy for PA. And I think we are even seeing it in Festerman's actions.
