Fetterman is continually portrayed in the media as some kind of unbeatable political powerhouse, which is mostly PR by the sympatico leftist media. He’s not well-known outside of western PA.

He and his record are under a lot more scrutiny in a national election, so now we’ll get a more balanced view of his history, flaws and all.

“ Senate hopeful John Fetterman (D., Pa.), a former mayor who is casting himself as the man who “worked to rebuild” the town of Braddock, Pa.”

Braddock has NOT been rebuilt, and there has been no economic revitalization to speak of. It was and still is a very depressed area. And a place to avoid at night.

Fetterman is a Demoncrat slug. This proves it.

He says he was really at all those city council meetings, both virtually (on his phone), and in spirit, while at the same time meeting some of his local constituents at the corner pub, and tipping a few "Nancy Pelosi" breakfast beverages (a spritz of OJ in the vodka), as seen here:

He’s one of their own, Oz is not.

No problem there once the votes come in from Philly. The fraudulent voting machines are unbeatable.

Sounds like Obama's behavior when he was a U.S. Senator. Interestingly but not surprisingly, Obamas's dereliction of Senate duty was of no concern to those who made him President 2x.

Uncle Fester Fetterman is a delusional nitwit.

All the PA purists on FR make me want to puke. They’d rather have a walking cadaver be their senator than someone not as pure as them. I’ll say it. They are idiots who love themselves more than their state and country.

Well, he did wear his best mechanic’s shirt for his official photo, so how bad can he be?

Fetterman’s official photo pretty much sums up his respect for his official duties and obligations as a public servant, the only times his name ever showed up in PA media was when he was subverting or flouting the law.

That said, his image as this lumbering oaf is very deliberate, he’s a whole lot more clever than his opponents are led to believe, and he is as hard left as they come.

Oz wasn’t in my top three for the PA primary, but he won the primary and whatever Oz is, Fetterman is many times worse. If I could root for the Eagles through the Kotite and Ray Rhoades years, I can handle Oz as Senator.

I’ve said this before. There are two components to voting:

1. Award a candidate with power,
2. Deny power to a candidate.

It’s great if your vote is all item 1 or evenly divided between the two. However sometimes item 2 is far far more important. People like Saunders and his Pennsylvania acolyte Fetterman are too dangerous to allow them to have power.

Anyway I don’t live in Pennsylvania, so it’s their decision.

Who would expect anything different from a pothead who lived off his parents until his 40s?

Fetterman reminds me of De Blasio. Just a lazy progressive, talking point spewing parasite.

That one is going to be a real clown show in the Senate. His commercials are an unbelievable stereotype of Pennsylvania’s citizens.

You are totally right. They hope Fetterman wins. They keep trashing Dr. Oz, hoping they can convince people not to vote for him.

You’re right. Fetterman studied finance at Albright College, where he received his bachelor’s degree, followed by a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Connecticut. Then he got a Masters in Public Policy from Harvard.
