Aren’t we glad Pat Toomey is no longer in the Senate representing PA?
Whereas Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a conservative Republican, is voting for Harris in November, Toomey seems to be so “principled” that he won’t even vote for her.

You bet. Being mildly anti-Trump, or even vociferously anti-Trump, does not make folks like Liz Cheney or Toomey anti-fascist, they just prefer different fascists than Trump to be in charge.
I agree. During a time when there are supporters of actual dictatorship, politicians who are somewhat anti-democratic but refuse to support Trump are not that.
Or unless the American people refuse to be conned anymore. But keep in mind, a lot of the support for the Republican Party is motivated by racism and not being conned. It's obvious, when you remember that a majority of white voters have voted Republican since the 1968 election. What happened between 1964 and 1968? Right.
Good points although Reaganism and Reaganomics were really conning the public. The notion that trickled down economics ever truly gave anyone prosperity besides the wealthy and super wealthy is the real con.
For the racism part, yes, that’s unfortunately a big albatross on the GOP and it’s ability to expand its base.
Oh Toomey is your typical right wing con man in the GOP. I am not fooled by a wimp like him whose only good thing about him was that he helped Joe Manchin with a gun control bill and didn’t believe Biden lost.
While ideally you want to get as many Harris switchers as you can get, I’m not going to frown at a bloc of Trump/Trump/NOTA voters sitting this one out. The most important thing is adding to the collection of voices saying Donald Trump is unacceptable under any circumstances.

Toomey is a fascist. Don’t let his camo fool you.
Lest we forget he ran against Arlen Specter from the RIGHT in 2004.

Fascist seems a little harsh
I agree. During a time when there are supporters of actual dictatorship, politicians who are somewhat anti-democratic but refuse to support Trump are not that.
Once we get over this, then the conversation remains about the GOP:
Unless the party becomes more moderate, they will still con the public like they have done since the Reagan years.

It may be an albatross on their necks now, but it's what made them win often for decades.
And LOST!

Pat Toomey just wants whatever will allow banks and private equity to make more money.
$$$$ talks!
