I don't think the GoP ever really cared about the governor race. I mean, just look at the pool of "candidates" for the GoP primary back in May. They probably figured that no matter who won the primary Shapiro was going to win regardless hence very little money being given to Mastriano's term.
It seems like they put all their eggs in the senate race, but that failed too. I do think they regret not pushing a more traditional republican like Barletta since I think Mastriano hurt Oz's chances despite the latter's efforts in distancing himself from Mastriano and the radical right.

He also makes Tom Corbett look like FDR by comparison.

Even though he lost in a landslide, he probably will never truly concede in order to keep up his “strongman” image. He knows if he says that he will concede, his political career is probably over (if it isn’t already over now).

Conceding isn’t necessary, it’s just done as a small token of good faith. Shapiro will be Governor regardless of what Mastriano says.

That's great for me and I assume you, but not every house is connected to a gas line.

Actually, the crime rates of both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are fairly similar. Yearly crime rate per 100k people in Philadelphia is at 4037, while Pittsburgh is at 3185.

I don't think he has publicly but I don't think he's made any indication that he'll challenge the results either. He'll probably just fade into obscurity.
