Fetterman Agrees to Debate Dr. Oz, But There's a Catch
Townhall ^ | Sep 09, 2022 | Matt Vespa

Will John Fetterman debate Dr. Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania? The US Senate race in Pennsylvania was devolving into an absolute dumpster fire—and it could still go off the hinges—but things are starting to look more favorable for Oz in a state that’s been a cruel mistress to Republicans for over a quarter century. Some of it has to do with Fetterman’s positions getting more airtime, which includes ending life sentences for first-degree murderers, emptying one-third of Pennsylvania’s prisons, and an embarrassing incident where he chased down an unarmed black man with a shotgun. He’s also recovering from a stroke and had a pacemaker implanted around the time of the Democratic primary. He’s not healthy, and his stump speeches have been beset with sentence fragments and half-thoughts that make Joe Biden seem like a seasoned elocutionist. This is why the Fetterman campaign has been reticent to agree on any debate terms from the Oz camp.

[BUT]

Sometime in mid-October isn’t a concrete deadline, and it’s probably a pivot by Fetterman’s crew to cast the media off the debate scent for a bit, but it’s not going to dissipate. What happens when we approach Halloween? Will Fetterman’s camp get on the stage, or will a medical emergency arise that postpones the showdown? That postponement could quickly morph into a cancellation. There’s more riding on this debate for Fetterman than Oz. Oz can speak in complete sentences and shut down talking points much more manageable than Fetterman, who suffers from serial mental short-circuiting; that is not his fault.

Tucker had a long segment Thursday evening on Fetterman. He pointed out that any debate will take place after a lot of voters will have already voted.

It is ridiculous that Fetterman won’t debate, but the political reality is that when a candidate is far enough ahead, it’s pointless, especially if it could be detrimental.

This Uncle Festus look-alike will never get on a public stage for a debate. His looks and his ailments combine to banish any thought of a televised give-and-take with a polished performer like Oz.

By October, the early votes will be cast before the voters actually got to see a “debate”.

Fetterman and his handlers know he's in no condition to participate in a one or two hour debate at the present time, so they want to schedule it as close to the end of October as they can. By then, early voting will already be underway, and maybe Fetterman will be well enough for one debate. My guess is they will "postpone" the debate at the last minute (but not for medical reasons - that would sink Fetterman's candidacy.) By then it will be too close to election day to reschedule.

In #28, that is none other than Donna Brazile, Hillary’s debate fixer.

(Not sure about #83 🤔)

In order to ameliorate his pulchritudinous insufficiencies, Fetterman has decided to don this sporty new headware for the debate...

How that picture of fetterman’s, uh, figure didn’t spark off a “His name is Robert Paulson” meme remains a mystery to me.

Fetternan’s only condition for debate is to mute the sound.
