Fetterman accidentally raises stakes for lone Senate debate with Oz
Washington Examiner ^ | October 13, 2022 | Sarah Westwood, Investigative Reporter

Posted on 10/13/2022 11:28:51 AM PDT by conservative98

Fetterman attempted to address the fallout from the NBC debacle Wednesday in another interview — this one with the PennLive editorial board. The interview was not in person and still featured moments of stumbling from the Democrat.

“The elephant in the room is that I had a stroke,” Fetterman said during the nearly hourlong clip. “There’s no secret that, sometimes, I’m going to miss words.”

With just weeks to go before Election Day, Fetterman has few chances remaining to demonstrate to skeptics that he’s bounced back enough to represent Pennsylvania.

“I think the Fetterman campaign has stretched this period of making this campaign literally about nothing as long as they could go,” Jennings said. “They have tried to make this thing about everything from veggie trays to dogs to the Eagles. And the reason they’re doing that is, they’re really running a campaign without a candidate.”

The stakes, already high, rocketed up with Fetterman’s latest worrying display.

“If he had done 10 debates, it wouldn’t have mattered, but the fact that all the marbles are on one debate and this interview performance was so shaky, I think you’ll have a lot more interest in the race, and it might be more determinative than a normal debate,” Carney said.

Carney predicted far more voters will tune into the Fetterman-Oz debate out of sheer curiosity about how Fetterman will fare thanks to his high-profile misstep.

“I think it will make the viewership much higher because people are going to want to see for themselves, so you’ll have a lot more eyeballs on there,” he said. “So that makes the risk for Fetterman higher.”

Brandon won the presidency from his DE basement, so why not? Seems to be a winning strategy for the Socialist Set!

Let’s Go, Brandon! *SPIT*

Will he have an earpiece with someone feeding him the answers, or will that just make his performance worse? Dems cant help but cheat. Its what they do.

I sure wouldn’t vote for that goofy looking SOB even if he didn’t have a knot on his neck and severe brain damage.

I realize that the Senate currently has aspects of a clown show, but your picture of Fetterman demonstrates the depths it could descend to. Are there really people in PA saying, “Yep, that’s who I want representing my state in the Senate.”?

Dr. Oz is both perfectly healthy + extremely wealthy. Must be nice.

Most Pennsylvanians aren’t.

Who do you think is going to fight for them?— John Fetterman (@JohnFetterman) October 12, 2022

Attacking your opponent because he’s healthy enough for a job you aren’t healthy enough to do is next level desperate. Fetterman’s campaign is collapsing. https://t.co/qjnPYr0P31— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) October 12, 2022

Fetterman’s candidacy demonstrates how deep the Democrat bench is.

I am betting this debate never happens.Fetterman can only survive in a 100% scripted and controlled environment.

I remember how the expectations had become so low for Biden that simply showing up for the debate without crapping his pants meant he “won”. Hope that doesn’t happen here.

RE: I’m going to miss words.

Such as “I am ending my campaign.”

Biden misses words such as
“I admit to pressuring officials of foreign governments and granting favors while Vice President and as President along with my son Hunter and we are identifying our numbered offshore bank accounts containing bribe money. In return I have accepted a plea bargain and will resign but not serve prison time, nor will my son.”

“Yep, that’s who I want representing my state in the Senate.”?

Yep. 50% of Pennsylvanians have below average IQs. 50% of Pennsylvanians are women. KamelToe will draw a Venn diagram for you.

Fetterwoman has Man-breasts in that picture. I understand that is a side effect of smoking to much pot.

He is going to back out at the last minute based on some sort of election or covid denier stance by Oz or something else.
