It wasn’t that Oz did a great debate (I’d say average), but Fetterman is so medically bad-off, that you question how the Party could stick to the guy. If he were a school-teacher or auto-mechanic...I’d tell him to medically retire.
They stick with him because, like Brandon, he will be a place holder for the progressive machine.
In other words, a warm body. The deep state machine will do the rest
Tried watching it earlier, had to turn it off...too painful. Having taken care of my folks a while back, Mom with Alzheimer’s and Dad with senile dementia, I found it just sad. If it were a prize fight, Fetterman’s corner would have thrown in the towel early in round one. Oz may have “won”, but the people of PA were and will be the real losers.
