HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) â€” Pennsylvania's Republican candidate for governor had some advice Friday for his Democratic opponent: put on a catcher's mask because "I'm going to stomp all over your face with golf spikes."

Scott Wagner made the comments in a nearly 3-minute video posted on Facebook, the latest time the former state senator and waste-hauling millionaire has used violent imagery to describe how he would get things done in the Capitol. Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf's campaign responded by calling it a threat of violence that shows Wagner "is unhinged and unfit for office."

Welcome to the new age of Politics post-Obama andTrump.

Where we have a nice mix of verbal assaults, threats and actual battery and assassination attempts, just like all the other Banana Republics we are now emulating.

I thought it was a little deranged, but maybe it will motivate the golfing crowd.

Looks like the media has found the lone example of equivocation for political cover.

Exactly right.

This Wagner guy isn't too violent to hold office, he's too stupid if he didn't think the media would jump all over this.

To be fair, he did say Post-Obama.

Hey, maybe he could do the MMA-style match against whatshisname that challenged Jr.

In case you missed it on the other thread, calling other members here Democrats or Hillary supporters is considered a personal attack. Cut it out or get ready for your timeout.

Wagner is running a lousy campaign and let the Commie Socialist fruit Wolf rope a dope in in having only one debate that ended up being a disaster because of the moderator........Alex Trebek. I think he put on this spectacle to get some attention to himself. Doesn't seem prudent to me, but whatever. I will still keep his sticker on my car.

Alright. I have had enough of this rule. What if we can prove that the poster is indeed a Leftist? Is it alright then?

Here's everyone's first and final warning: call another poster a Democrat or any variation thereof (Hillary supporter, etc.) and it's a timeout.

Kiss my ass. I'll call a rat out when I see one. If that gets me a time out. Do it and I am gone. I hate the moderation around here. You all suck. Bunch of losers.

Mod2 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 12, 2018, 11:17:30 pm »

The only acceptable proof is that poster's voting record. Otherwise, give it a rest and stick to the damn issues.

No one is held here against his will. There are very few rules. All Myst and the moderators ask is that you comply with them.

Lucky devil. Where I live having a republican candidateâ€™s sticker on your car can get your face golf-cleated

My area is Right Wing except for the cities and they don't speak English anyway so I am safe.

I agree, and am seeing too many Repubs running lousy campaigns. Do they want it or not?!?

Well we know for a fact that the poster didn't vote for the GOP candidate in 2016. Is that enough proof?

Gee, I hope you don't come after me, because I'm going to vote for a Democrat candidate in my county in just a couple weeks. The Republican is a certifiable nutjob and I don't want my fellow county residents to suffer.

Being an old hand in state politics I can tell you that there a many candidates on both sides that move up the ranks because they are worthless kiss asses who throw money around to get the power brokers attention. They get all the party's backing in Primaries and then we are stuck with slugs in the general. In PA it has been a problem for generations. That's why I got the hell out of it back in the 2000's. Couldn't take the incompetents in the power structure anymore.

Not voting for the GOP does not make you a Dem.
