I swear, every single ad break on the major local radio stations featured a Toomey ad. These were usually but not always followed up with a McGinty ad.

U.S. military officials told Reuters that Trump approved his first covert counterterrorism operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support or adequate backup preparations.

As a result, three officials said, the attacking SEAL team found itself dropping onto a reinforced al Qaeda base defended by landmines, snipers, and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists.
If this happened under Obama it would be Benghazi 2.0
