Pennsylvania Democrats try to do damage control after shaky Fetterman debate

HARRISBURG, Penn. (Reuters) - Pennsylvania Democrats tried to do damage control on John Fetterman's U.S. Senate campaign on Wednesday, the morning after a shaky debate performance against Republican TV doctor Mehmet Oz that showed the struggle Fetterman faces in recovering from a May stroke.

“I don’t know anyone, even the most staunch Fetterman supporters, who think that went well last night," a senior Pennsylvania Democrat told Reuters.

Democrats interviewed said the Fetterman campaign is surely doing quick polls to gauge how to repair any damage caused by the performance. Some took hope in how many voters had cast ballots before the debate -- some 685,000, more than two-thirds of them Democrats, according to the U.S. Elections Project.

Fetterman's words on Tuesday night were frequently halting, and he often repeated phrases multiple times. Several Democrats said that his performance, while courageous, raised fresh concerns about his health.

Fetterman's campaign tried to change the subject, saying it would launch new TV ads highlighting Oz's debate comment that a abortion is a decision to be made by "a woman, her doctor and local political leaders."

Here’s their damage control.

Pennsylvania Democrat officials sent out 240,000 ballots to people they could not verify either by their Social Security or Driver’s License numbers.

The ballots should NEVER have been sent out to these voters.

Fifteen Republican State Representatives sent a letter to Acting Secretary of the Commonwealth Leigh Chapman after they discovered that over 240,000 illicit ballots were sent out in the state prior to the 2022 midterm elections.

Deputy Secretary Jonathan Marks testified in September before the Pennsylvania House that counties are responsible to verify the voter ID when a completed ballot arrive to the county. The counties argued that this was nonsense. The ID must be verified before a ballot is even sent out.

Democrats are so sleazy. :-)

If Fetterman was a car it wouldn’t run, you’d have to leave it in the driveway.

It was so bad I stopped watching after about 10 minutes. It reminded me of a dog in its death throes after being hit by a car.

If Fetterman wins anyway, Mrs. Fetterman will be taking the Senate oath of office on Jan 3, 2023.

I’m doubting many of them would have been swayed by Fetterman’s crappy performance.

For some people the stupid just burns…

If Fetterman is announced as the winner and the people do nothing about it, the country is dead. Hope Russia launches on DC because the experiment would be over.

Regretting one’s choice. That’s another downside of voting early or mail in balloting. Just think if Hunter Biden’s story wasn’t squashed by the media. It wouldn’t have changed a thing for mail-in ballots sent early.
