John Fetterman obviously hoped that by lowering expectations for last night’s debate with Dr. Oz and by having a closed captioning system with 2 70-inch monitors, he could convince Pennsylvania voters that he was healthy enough to discharge the duties of US Senator. But he equally obviously failed.
He opened his remarks with an inappropriate greeting: “Hi. Good night, everybody.” (snip) Fetterman’s performance was bad enough that even the partisan media were forced to acknowledge his poor presentation. (snip) Time Magazine writer Charlotte Alter, who prior to the debate did her utmost to lower expectations for Fetterman, admitted that “he was much much worse than I expected.”

Anyone who votes for him after watching that debacle is out of their mind. He clearly is not up to the task. Frankly, I don't think he was up to it before the stroke.

He was in the same position as Katie Hobbs.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Fetterman has his own Dr Jill, his wife Giselle. Just like Dr Jill, she allows Fetterman to be on display to the voters in the hopes he makes it to the Senate, where she can take control, and be his mouthpiece. She is the puppeteer to Fetterman, just like Dr Jill is to Lame Duck Joe.

Better to remain quiet and let them think you are incompetent than to speak up and remove all doubt.

Flubs?!
Tom Finton's conclusion that Fetterman flubbed the debate is the understatement of the year.
Notwithstanding the closed captioning, Fetterman often forget the question under discussion, sometimes in a mid-sentence of his response. He lied to us over and over, such as when he asserted that he has always been in favor of fracking. He's applying for a job for which he is totally unqualified and deserves our disdain, not sympathy.

It took about five minutes into the debate, that I began to feel sorry for Fetterman.
He is a man of no achievements, supported by someone - Daddy or Soros? - and might have slipped into office had it not been for the stroke. And five months after a stroke, he has not recovered, and may never recover.
Like Biden, Fetterman has been thrust forward into a role that is wrong for him and wrong for America.

Philadelphia voters, at every street intersection, now run the gauntlet of a half dozen Fetterman signs and various pro-choice-rights banners. Local news will make no mention of this debate debacle. This debate will not affect the vote.

Why is this wannabe thug even being considered? Is this really the best and brightest that the PA Democrats have to offer?
In his case, the big D stands for dumbass!

From what I saw of the so-called debate. Fetterman was debating himself and not doing a very good job of that. Can you imagine a conversation between Biteme and Fetterman. Neither one could concentrate on any one subject for more than a few seconds, and it would be a word salad at that.

There is talk around Pennsylvania that Fetterman did not have a stroke but a heart attack and that the damage is permanent. There is no way he can function as a U.S. Senator with his health problems. We are also hearing that his wife will really be the Senator just as Dr. Jill is the real president.

Does it really make any difference if Fedderman won or lost the debate to the Democrat low information voters who have been pressed to vote early by mail by the Democrats and who have already voted? Not a bit. If those Democrat low information voters get the chance they would merrily vote in 2024 for a progressive Democrat Presidential ticket consisting on Kamala Harris and John Fedderman.

If Fetterman, by some miracle or a sufficient number of fraudulent votes. were to be elected as a senator, he would undoubtedly work from home, collect the $174K paycheck for doing nothing, and Pennsylvania would be as well represented as it has been for the past six years. The votes he gets will be either the result of cheating or the actions of brain-dead Pennsylvanians who continue to pull the "D" lever no matter what kind of idiots are running. Somebody like him, who has become accustomed to living as a useless parasite, will not have the will or the ability to suddenly become a productive citizen.

The real issue here, is how many illiterates are there in Pennsylvania who will actually vote for this mentally handicapped idiot. Remember this guy is supposed to be leading in the polls. Think about that for a minute. And what about the moron married to this guy. She's just another Jill Biden, nothing more than a power hungry parasite willing to trot out her sick husband to make a fool of himself and our country while she thinks she's actually important. Fact is they are making fools of the voters and they don't give a damn. Wake up already.

I should create a way back machine, like Mr. Peaboy and his pet boy, Sherman, as they examined improbable history.
Way back in 1992, Dollar Bill Clinton, boy governor of Arkansas, was running for president.
He didn't really campaign in Iowa, because dimocrat stolen valor Senator Tom Harkin ran as a favorite son to protect Clinton.
Then came New Hampshire, where Clinton's main opponent for the nomination, Paul Tsongas, beat Clinton soundly. And Clinton's handlers turned that defeat into a victory, by calling Clinton the come back kid. And the media bought it.
But Tsongas had a problem. He was dying of cancer. So to prove that he was healthy, Tsongas invited reporters to watch him swim in his speedos.
And Tsongas' doctor issued a statement that Tsongas was cancer-free.
When Tsongas died of the cancer not long after the 1992 election, reporters asked the doctor why he had lied about Tsongas being cancer free.
His answer? "I owed it to my patient."
Is it really necessary to discuss Fetterman's doctor's statement?

If Dr. Oz had a stroke in May would you let him perform surgery on you as a doctor. It's the same with being a senator impaired mentally to the task of lawmaker. I don't think so.
