Wow. I get that he had a stroke. He should have stepped aside. His lust for power despite the fact that he is clearly ill-equipped to successfully execute the duties of the office and represent the people of Pennsylvania is reprehensible.
At one point Fetterman was asked to clarify his position on fracking, as moderators pointed to a 2018 interview, where the lieutenant governor expressed broad opposition to the practice, but not a ban.
‘I do support fracking – I don’t, I don’t – I support fracking, and I do support fracking,’ he answered.
At another point, when Fetterman was asked to specifically about charges Oz made about some the Democrat’s campaign ads being pulled down for being factually inaccurate, Fetterman, instead, stuck to the topic of abortion.
‘I’m going to let Mr. Fetterman respond specifically to the ads being pulled off the air, and we’re going to return to you, Mr. Oz,’ said one of the moderators.
Fetterman didn’t acknowledge the question.
‘Yeah, I want to look into the face of every woman in Pennsylvania. If you believe that the choice of your reproductive freedom belongs with Dr. Oz, than you have a choice, but if you believe that the choice for abortion belongs between you and your doctor, that’s what I fight for,’ Fetterman said. ‘Roe v. Wade for me, should be the law, he celebrated when it went down. And my campaign would fight for Roe v. Wade – and if given the opportunity to codify it into law.’
Fetterman’s performance was quickly panned by pundits.
‘I thought somebody should have invoked the mercy rule 20 minutes into the debate,’ said former Republican Pennsylvania Rep. Charlie Dent on CNN. ‘I don’t know if it’s the stroke, or he’s just a lousy debater or he doesn’t understand the issues. He was flustered, he was confused, he should not have been out there.’
His lust for power
No, his lust is for a fat paycheck while being able to remain a lazy slob.
And FWIW, Oz is a RvW kinda guy.
I just read that over 1 million mail in ballots have been requested in PA… So likely Fetterman is figuring that he’s got a giant head start.
New Leftist motto: Don’t eat your vegetables when you can elect them.
About 10 years ago my mother had a stroke (she is all of 5′-6″ and in pretty good shape other than smoking most her life), it took her almost an entire year before her speech was back to normal. Her mental capacity was still there, she just had issues forming words and getting the thoughts out. I won’t speculate on Fetterman’s condition, but I see a lot of similarities in what I saw in my mother.
If Oz loses to Fetterman, it will say a lot about the horrible campaign that Oz has strategically run.
The Penn Dems know that Oz is a lousy candidate and figured that they’d keep Fetterwoman no matter the risk; as soon as their (D) Governor gets elected, they’d force Fetterwoman to resign and the Gov. would appoint F’s wife to the seat.
Looks like that isn’t going to work, but there’s still the Margin of Fraud.
Either way, Willard will finally have a lunch buddy.
I don’t know, the strategy of electing mentally impaired people has a good success rate right now…
DAD29, I love your long play conspiracy theories. If Fetterman wins, he will spend the next 6 months recovering (hopefully fully). He won’t be replaced, much less by his wife.
I like the behind the scenes on campaigns and strategy. On the ground people from the Rs side have complained that Oz was a lazy campaigner. Not out and about shaking hands and meeting people nearly enough over the past 4 months. Moreso relying on his fame to carry him. Fetterman made a lot of appearances (and staying silent). Clearly Fetterman’s team is scared of how he will be perceived with the stroke when he speaks. It is why they pushed the debate off until mail-in votes started. They know that the more he has to talk, the worse he will look.
And the best part about all of this is that if Fetterman wins, by anything less than 5 points, the right will scream about “stolen election”. So, there is that fun.
Hillary has already beaten the Pubbies to the 2022 stolen elections claims. I guess it would be more accurate to say she’s renewed her longstanding claim.
She actually claimed the 2024 election was in danger, not 2022. But semantics. Because her claim that republican led legislatures will be able to overturn election results. I don’t know how much I would believe that, but it isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
If Fetterman wins, he will spend the next 6 months recovering (hopefully fully)
No, he won’t. Competent neurologists will tell you that after 6 months the recovery curve is complete. And it’s been 6 months.
BTW, I’m very happy your Mom recovered. But that’s called “anecdotal” evidence.
Because her claim that republican led legislatures will be able to overturn election results
As usual, Hildebeeste is 90% full of crap. As you undoubtedly know, the Constitution states clearly that STATE LEGISLATURES govern voting within their respective States. She takes that to mean that the Leggies ‘will steal’ the election.
She just wishes it happened that way for her, that’s all. She’s approaching the Biden-Level of dissociative thinking.
>Hillary has already beaten the Pubbies to the 2022 stolen elections claims.
I can’t believe anyone would listen to any oil-coated words sliding off her forked tongue.
Jason auditioning for Second City: a big head start
~SNORT!!~
Johnny, it would take a miracle for Fetterman to recover in 6 months. People with these kind of brain injuries takes years to heal, if they heal at all.
As far as Hillary is concerned, then I guess you had no problems with President Trump saying the 2020 was riggedrigged and stolen.
And johnny, Hillary’s quote:
“The right-wing-controlled Supreme Court may be poised to rule on giving state legislatures the power to overturn presidential elections,” she adds, referring to a case before the high court involving the invalidation of North Carolina’s congressional map by a state court.”
Well, that’s what the Constitution says
And Hillary is a lawyer?
Perhaps she’s getting as senile as Senile Joe Biden.
I would be interested in seeing what kind of therapy Fetterman is receiving.
Is he getting speech therapy?
Is he/she getting physical or occupational therapy?
What drugs is he on?
What his latest CT scan show.
Why is he refusing to produce his medical records?
Dad29 is right that a majority of the healing is done in the first 6 months. But as I can attest to seeing firsthand, but much more can be done after that with physical therapy. It isn’t like after those 6 months, you are done recovering. But I doubt that he is able to put forth a fully dedicated recovery effort while still campaigning.
It’s too bad, I don’t know how this race will turn out, but I think that without the stroke, Fetterman crushes Oz. And now I think I am leaning towards Oz winning this, but probably closer than it should be for him.
It is hard to sway the tide of history. Many midterms after a presidential election go to the opposite candidate that won the presidency. I think as a culture have an innate ability to want evenness. It is why the first 2 years of a presidency is so important a lot of the time.
“It’s too bad, I don’t know how this race will turn out, but I think that without the stroke, Fetterman crushes Oz.”
That’s unknowable.
People are fixated on his medical condition but not his very extreme left wing views.
I’m pretty sure if the people from Pennsylvania, most people would be shocked to see how extreme he is.
Abortion up until the just before a baby can be born, murderers not being sentenced to life in prison, taxpayer supported drug shooting areas, wanting to parole the worst of the worst people etc.
It is hard to sway the tide of history. Many midterms after a presidential election go to the opposite candidate that won the presidency.
Yup. That’s why the Smart Money let Mandela “win” the primary.
MAR’s right. Fetterman makes Barnes look like a moderate. Democrats think voters are stupid. On November 7th, they’ll know that their bets were wrong.
However, there is the Margin of Fraud Effect; the Penn Sec/State mailed out 255,000 ballots to “voters” who didn’t prove their identity.
Another Senile Joe Biden failure.
According to Senile Joe Biden, there are 54 states.
I know he would like DC and Puerto Rico and perhaps Guam to become states, but whou would be the extra 4th state be?
So we lost 3 states since Obozo? Where’d they go?
*****So we lost 3 states since Obozo? Where’d they go?****
Maybe they just moved around. After all according to Trump Colorado is on the Mexican Border :)
>Maybe they just moved around.
Stupid. That wouldn’t change the number of them you sweaty try-hard.
>After all according to Trump Colorado is on the Mexican Border
Still living rent free in so many vacant liberal heads like Flunks.
***Still living rent free in so many vacant liberal heads like Flunks.***
Which is less than the number of conservative heads Hillary still lives in, rent-free, like Jason’s :)
With the millions of illegals that have entered the US under Senile Joe Biden, every state is a border state. And Colorado has tens of thousands of illegals.
***With the millions of illegals that have entered the US under Senile Joe Biden, every state is a border state****
Woah! Tell Donald Trump that check he’s getting from Mexico for the wall is gonna need a lot more money if we need to build walls around every state :)
>Which is less than the number of conservative heads Hillary still lives in, rent-free, like Jason’s
Whoa! More stupid from the expert. What a blessed day!
“Woah! Tell Donald Trump that check he’s getting from Mexico for the wall is gonna need a lot more money if we need to build walls around every state”
Well, we need a wall around states like California and New York because they deporting liberals into conservative states due to the failed liberal agenda in those states.
>It is hard to sway the tide of history. Many midterms after a presidential election go to the opposite candidate that won the presidency. I think as a culture have an innate ability to want evenness. It is why the first 2 years of a presidency is so important a lot of the time.
Evenness my butt! The swing every election is because things get so much worse after every election that people decide to vote for change or lose interest in keeping the current Party in office. So few get that there will be no change as long as the Republocrats are jointly in office.
