QOTD: WHAT IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT QUALIFICATION YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IN THE CANDIDATES YOU VOTE FOR THIS YEAR?

Dirty politics are in play here in PA. With the primary election coming up next week, Richard Grenell and Greg Kelly have been trying to tear down MAGA candidate Kathy Barnette because she has a good chance of defeating Trump’s pick, Dr. Oz. They have been tweeting and texting videos of Barnette, cutting out full sentences and eliminating context to make it look like she is saying the total opposite of what she actually said. People in PA are receiving multiple anonymous texts with these videos and lies about Barnette.

What are they afraid of?

Question of the day: With primaries and midterms coming up, if you are planning to vote, what is the single most important qualification/top platform issue you are looking for in the candidates you vote for this year?
