The dems managed to persuade Fetterman to run.
And I looks like nobody good on our side wanted to run against him, based on the choices available.
Dems can run anyone they want because Republicans do not prioritize destroying the lives of Dems who run for office. In addition Dems do not throw their own nominees under the bus for an imperfection.
On the other hand any conservative Republican will have the lives of themselves or any loved ones ruined either by having a past issue exposed or by the Dems making up something. I appreciate any non politician conservative Republicans willing to put themselves out there.
