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)
See how well a missing link Satan looking Stalinazi thug who supports the Pedophile in the White House 110% plays in a state that Trump actually carried by at least 600k votes.
OK, I will give ya that. But all one has to do is drive thru the town he was mayor of and see how much good he did. I drive thru there because of my job and it is a ghetto. Its not safe at night and barely safe in the summer daylight hours. But PA voters are famed for picking people who arent fit for jobs. Caesey comes to mind. If it wasnt for his dads name he would be selling shoes.
