PA GOP governor candidates want "safe space" for debates [View all]

No, this is not from The Onion.

The 4 leading candidates sent a letter demanding debate moderators be friendly registered Rs. Melissa Hart, to her credit, said she's not scared of moderators asking tough questions.

This is hilarious because McSwain has been running non-stop ads citing what a tough, fearless Trump-appointed AUSA he was, not to mention a military vet. Dave White's ads tout his business accumen which I thought meant one needed the ability to be tough-minded and competitive. Barletta, of course, is a loud mouth bully like Trump so not surprising he's scared. Corman's ads are all about how he "took on (Gov) Wolf", but reporters apparently scare him.
