I get that his republiican opponent, Dr. Oz, is just a fake conservative, carnival-barking self-promoting hustler but his opponent is not much either. Last time I heard anything about Fetterman he was trying to explain why - if he is Mr. BLM- he had a police intervention of some sort where he pulled a gun on an unarmed black guy. Oops. Probably Fetterman will be elected. Being a phoney and a free loading grifter has never been a barrier to getting elected as a dem. John Fetterman ‘was living off Daddy’s money until he was 46 Lt. Gov. John Fetterman's blue-collar image is questioned by Republican opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz, who cites Fetterman's comfortable upbringing and reports of being financially supported by his parents until his mid-40s. Fetterman has confirmed the financial backing from his parents during his time as mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, and said that it allowed him to work full-time in the position for several years. According to OpenSecrets, Fetterman's father, Karl Fetterman, gave more than $100,000 to The 15104, the single-candidate super PAC that was backing his son's campaign in 2016. Brittany Yanick, communications director for Doctor Oz for Senate, told Fox News Digital in an exclusive statement: "Here are facts: John Fetterman was living off of Daddy’s money until he was 46. During this period, he failed to pay his taxes 67 times. Now, he’s running for Senate, and wants to raise your taxes by trillions and spend billions more than even Biden." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dr...ing?dicbo=v2-a0aa80560cb531d9aec0b4a2af84b74d
Not sticky enough to move the needle in this race. Fetterman walks, talks and looks like Pennsylvania.
Yeh, there is that. He is pretty much out of service and dead man walking but I saw the other day that he was ten points ahead in the polls nevertheless. Crappy senate race there.
Perhaps Fetterman should be in Dr Oz's care instead of running for Senate.--- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fetterman#Health Fetterman suffers from both atrial fibrillation and cardiomyopathy, and that the latter condition was the reason for the implantation of the defibrillator. He said Fetterman was "well compensated and stable" and that "If he takes his medications, eats healthy and exercises, he'll be fine."[123] Fetterman issued a statement in which he expressed regret for having previously ignored his health (after the 2017 diagnosis with atrial fibrillation, Fetterman did not see a doctor for five years and did not continue medications).[123][124][125]
I live in New Jersey but if there was a prototypical Pennsylvanian, it would be John Fetterman. He talks exactly the way Pennsylvanian’s talk out in the west of the state. The gym shorts and hoodies is a way of life out there. I get you’re seeing his negatives but he is a guy who can move in almost any circle in Pennsylvania. To a lot of people he looks and sounds like their son, uncle, former classmate.
Yeh, but the problem is, no one is seeing him move in any circle anywhere. Hunkered down in the basement, pretending to be well. He ain't.
US Senators should be chosen by State Legislatures and not elected by popular vote. This would give the states their representation in Washington the way The Founders had intended.
