Would the conservative critics even have mentioned his mental hiccups? The republicans like to make fun of Biden and Harris as being incomprehensible but gave Trumptard a pass on his own f'kd up circus of brain farts.

 
Republicans always try to make an issue over candidate's supposed health issues. Look at all of the health accusations against Clinton and Biden these last two elections. They don't give two shits about Trump's apparent problems or Herschel Walker's obvious brain trauma.

I don't think Hershel's problems are entirely due to brain trauma. There wasn't much matter to damage.
 
I thought Fetterman was great in The Goonies.

Or should I say Good Enough?

Only problem he did and it is very apparent.
You can not run for the Senate and expect voters not to be concerned about his current capabilities.

The debate made it very clear about the challenges he has now. Oz is moving abead.

The debate made very clear how radical policies Fetterman has endorsed have caused a lot of grief to citizens in PA. could not defend them. The moderators were very good in holding Fetterman to his previous comments and his flip flops, and because of his current health condition, he could not defend them either.

I just read tonight that all those undecideds are overwhelmingly breaking for Oz.

Oz has already moved ahead.

WHERE did you read that?

You will find the information inside the breakdown of current polls and it isn't just the Oz / Fetterman race. There are multiple races showing independents breaking for Republicans.
 
I Fetterman didnt have a stroke...the idiot leftists that blindly support him just because he is a pile of shit with a D next to his name would still blindly support him just because he is a pile of shit with a D next to his name.
 
The Right uses Bidens speech impediment as a weapon, I am not surprised they would use this man's stroke as s political weapon. Crazy MAGAS hunting a little old lady in her own home now, as if grown men MAGAS hunting her on Jan 6 was not enough.

The fact is that in his condition, he is not capable of serving the people of Pennsylvania as their Senator. People should be angry, not at Fetterman, but his handlers who have put him in this position knowing full well that he cannot be effective, or even function, as Senator. He had this stroke six month ago. More than enough time to find a suitable replacement physically able to stand up to the rigors of the position.

What do you base that claim on. Two sitting senators had strokes last term. President Eisenhower served his second term after having a stroke. Like Fetterman says, 'In January he will be much better than he is today, but Oz will still be a fraud.'
 
Fetterman should have dropped out when he had the stroke. It is utterly ridiculous that he stayed in the race given how serious the stroke was. Had he dropped out, Conner Lamb would be mopping the floor with Oz.

His "handlers" have nothing to do with it. Fetterman made the choice to stay in the race. Had he dropped out, the people on his campaign would just went to work for the Conner Lamb campaign. You would think senator was the best job on earth the way some of these people sell their souls for it.

I do not believe they would have. That is further solidified by the fact they are propping up a person that doesn't know how many kids he has, how many abortions he's financed and that he is being exploited to the patsy for their agenda. If Walker gets a pass, everyone on this planet and all others should get one.

I don't care if a person flubs their words. I absolutely despise Trump and I didn't care when he did it either. These people are in front of cameras constantly but they are also humans. Who has never misspoken? It's just stupid childish games that takes away from collaboration and real problem solving.

Why? Because he has a speech impediment? Because you think he is incapable of voting YEA or NAY? I watched much of the debate and I saw someone who has some physical limitations but his mental and cognitive faculties seem just fine to me. The choice is between him and the carpetbagger from Jersey.

You are right in one respect. Dave McCormick would have been a far stronger Republican candidate than OZ & would have one
in November easily. Also you are spot on that Fetterman is capable of voting YEA or NAY, after all that is what the democrats arecounting
on.

Fetterman is a terrible candidate how he won the dem primary over Connors is hard to comprehend & that was even before he had the stroke.
The Dems played it smart by waiting until a lot of early voting was accomplished before the debate which makes this a close contest. My guess is
Oz will win but if Fetterman wins & shows no improvement I'm sure the dems plan is to give Fetterman a 'golden parachute' type deal to leave
the senate so Biden can insert another real left winger to take his place. If they leave Fetterman in office that would lead to futher embarrassment
to the party more than they IMO could tolerate. Showcasing Fetterman as the lead Demoratic in PA for the next 6 years would be political
bad practice!

Well, look at the "before and after" pictures of their portfolios and it's hard to argue that it isn't.

This is true of both parties, BTW...

The United States Senate is a deliberative body, and probably the most sophisticated and intense deliberative body on Earth. Bottom line, if you lack the where-with-all to function in that environment, all you are is a yes man to whoever is pulling your strings.

Given that reality, why not just come out and say... "I'm John Fetterman and if you elect me I promise to do whatever Joe, Chuck, and Nancy tell me to do regardless of if it is in the best interests of Pennsylvanians or not."


John Fetterman

"Yes Man" 2022!!
