Crash and burn....

HARRISBURG, Pa. — After getting their first long look at John Fetterman in Tuesday night’s Pennsylvania Senate debate, fellow Democrats are second-guessing his decision to appear on stage five months after a stroke — and some question whether he should have remained on the ballot at all.
“He should not have debated. Anyone on his team who agreed to a debate should be fired, or never work again, because that debate may have tanked his campaign,” said Chris Kofinis, a veteran Democratic campaign strategist. “This race was trending toward victory. Now, it’s anyone’s guess what happens.”
Several Democrats who spoke to NBC News, some on the condition of anonymity, said they were shocked by the degree to which Fetterman struggled to communicate clearly, even though he has acknowledged ongoing difficulty in processing what he hears and speaking without dropping words.
Oz himself seemed to poke at Fetterman’s struggles on the debate stage, wondering aloud at one point if he “wasn’t clear enough” for his opponent to “understand” him. Fetterman’s allies have accused critics of boosting “ableist” rhetoric about the candidate, insisting that he is moving along in his recovery just fine and noting that two current Democratic senators have recovered from recent strokes with little concern about their ability to perform the job.
But by Wednesday morning, many Democrats were in a panic over his performance. And there were fresh questions about how transparent Fetterman has been through a months-long recovery that continues to present communication challenges less than two weeks before Election Day.
“Folks are pretty much freaking out on the Dem side,” Khari Mosley, a Pittsburgh-based Democratic consultant and grassroots activist, said via text message. “I think there was false hope he’d thread the needle last night so some wind was taken out of the sails. .... ....

The “Abortion” of the Fetterman Campaign?
He thought he could get away with it like pedo-Biden did
I would bet they pumped him full of all sorts of performance enhancing drugs before the debate too. So he’s probably even worse than this on most days.
He actually probably gained some ‘sympathy’ vote. Doubtful you can win on people feeling sorry for you though.

Hungry Freaks, Daddy!
Obama AND Biden have a scheduled event with Fetterman next week, I honestly can’t believe Obama would embarrass himself politically this way!! The man is NOT WELL the Democratic Party AND his family should be ashamed of themselves Fetterman has no clue how he is humiliating himself OR how sick he is,the same damn thing as Biden!! Democrats are pure EVIL I don’t blame Fetterman he honestly doesn’t know how ill he is!!!
Fetterman: One bright side item. I bought Andre the Giant’s old suit at the estate seal. Cheap. Had to let it out, though.
at the estate sale. typo.
Would’ve linked to Trouble Every Day song but there’s a line about self loathing for being a white man during the 1966 LA riots. Took me a long time to forgive that but loved the Zappa classics.
I think expressing that sentiment in the 60s was a lot different than expressing it today.
And considering all the damage White liberals are inflicting on the world, maybe he has a point.
He was so bad, the Rats are afraid they won’t be able to “find” enough votes to steal the election.
He clearly can’t function well enough to understand a bill before the Senate or a committee.
This retard was a retard before the stroke and continues to be a retard after the stroke. Like others have said, how intensely must you hate America to want to vote for this pos?
Garbage article. I’m tired of the stroke crap. Perhaps a little bit about what Fetterman and Oz said with some fact checking.
Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for the way they have been treating and using stroke victims to further their political agenda.
It’s disgusting.

Go ahead and flame away but show how the fraud from 2020 has been corrected in each state. I'm in MO and it 'seems' like our SoS has made sure our elections are secure...but we shall see. Personally, I trust nothing.
A coup took place in 2020, does anyone really believe that these maggots are going to be 'voted' out??
yes butt most dems will vote for any Dem, so its amazing its not a landslide against hi
