‘Floundering’ Fetterman has Democrats fretting in Senate race vs. Dr. Oz
NY Post ^ | September 17, 2022 | Salena Zito

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is running for US Senate, but his floundering performance on the campaign trail has left many questioning whether he is fit to run for office — or even serve in the upper chamber of the house.

Democrats who attended that speech said they are becoming uneasy about Fetterman.

“Some tricky, cute tweet coming at the people of Pennsylvania again and again and again, with scarcely a word on substantive issues — if that is all his brain can remember, that is unacceptable,” one Democrat told me. “He seems to think he can ride out the storm and not debate.

Both Fetterman and his campaign staff have said the candidate suffers from an “auditory processing disorder.” The condition makes it difficult for the brain to interpret what others say, according to Sarah Lantz, a speech language pathologist at Magee Rehabilitation.

Fetterman visibly struggles at communicating with people, and needs to read questions from people so he can process them. The New York Times, Pittsburgh Post Gazette and Politico have all noted that he needed closed captioning to conduct interviews with their reporters. His campaign confirmed that he used Google Meets, a video chat app with closed captioning, for a live television interview this month with MSNBC.

On Monday, Joe Calvello, spokesperson for the Fetterman campaign, admitted to me that the candidate doesn’t write all his tweets himself. “He used to do it all himself but as the campaign has gotten busier from the primary he has some staff do some tweeting. But he still tweets a lot.”

When I asked Calvello for an update on his medical condition, he didn’t reply.

Right now, in his avoidance of the tough questions, Fetterman is projecting a shifty image to the public — an image that could eventually topple his (new Trafalgar 1.8) percentage lead in the polls.

The Harrisburg Democrat, for one, is worried about his chances at victory: “I think his physical impairments are such that he cannot successfully debate Oz.”

We can have compassion for his physical setback, but this man is a wreck, politically, philosophically, physically. The collectivists can be commended for sticking by their people, without regard for signs of life.

Fetterman looks like a villain from a James Bond movie. Talks like one also.

I don’t want Fetterman to win but prior to every election of any kind is all these polls that are often not correct and no one sees the real of it till after the election and predictions all the way.

As John Lennon said, ‘just give me some truth’. I want to only see the result. I’m so sick of ‘predictions’.

I wouldn't even give him that much credit, as most James Bond villains tend to be reasonably intelligent, perhaps he might be a low grade henchman to a villain, one of the forgettable hired muscle thugs that gets easily beaten by Bond in the first act. Personally I think he looks like Shrek's dimwitted younger brother

That affects so many Democrats. Must be contagious.

This situation is reminiscent of Biden’s run in 2020: the left’s obstinate loyalty to a man obviously mentally and physically unfit for the job. One has to wonder why the people around these candidates allow this scenario to play out, instead of installing a more qualified individual who would stand a better chance of success.

A “more qualified individual” might not happily think, do and say anything his Leftist handlers want him to think, do and say.
