Former wrestler, Mayor of a crappy and crime ridden steel town whose only new business is a pot farm. Once confronted a jogging black guy with a shotgun because he looked like a criminal. He has the IQ of a moron and is a perfect fit for the new democratic party.
The jogging thing could be his downfall. I hope so, anyways.
The guy is huge (6’ 7”), has charisma and looks like a PA “dude bro”. He has the anti-DC feel. He’s also the sitting Lt Gov.
I don’t like him, but he’s going to be hard to beat.
You can say a lot of things about Fetterman, but him being stupid is about as far from the truth as you can get.
He's an avowed socialist, and a very effective public speaker. He has been very cagey in finding opportunities and using them effectively. His statewide campaign to legalize pot was, in hindsight, a brilliant way to raise his name recognition to a statewide level and make a nothing job like Lt governor into a launching pad for this senate bid. His wife is a social media darling as well and endears him to low information voters who only care about superficial things (her appeal escapes me personally, but I was never going to be swayed to vote for him in the first place)
I read somewhere he is a trust fund baby. Can anyone verify?
If so, if i was a political advisor to Bartlett that’s the angle I would play. Get her to say ‘”Well you may talk the talk of blue collar Pa, even fake the walk. But I lived the life so I have done walk and can talk the talk with authority!”
Anyway I still think all of this is a good example as to why the 17th Amendment should be repealed!
