From M.B. Dougherty at NR:
“The Republican Party is in very very bad shape if it cannot defeat John Fetterman.
Fetterman is obviously debilitated by a stroke, and his campaign wasn’t straight about his condition.
When he was in full possession of his faculties, he supported de-incarceration of violent criminals, and the approach of Philadelphia’s progressive DA, Larry Krasner.
A party that cannot beat him in a state like Pennsylvania is dysfunctional in a deeply distressing way.”
I think the problem is Pennsylvania more than anything. Oz maybe wasn’t the right candidate. Pennsylvania is probably a lost cause.
“ A party that cannot beat him in a state like Pennsylvania is dysfunctional in a deeply distressing way.”
This is the big revelation from tonight. I’d say it’s worse than the Republican Party being in bad shape…they are a dead party walking. When Democrats can essentially hold their own under these economic and societal conditions…it’s over for the opposition party. They’re dead forever.
Oz was a horrible candidate himself, and Fetterman, if your number 1 issue is his health, I don’t know that that can be the tipping point issue you run against someone. Also, you can call someone a radical all you want, and I certainly don’t agree with his positions, but I’d say there is a portion of the country and that state that certainly do.

Well, when you look at it in that way...
Is that "DoughtyOne" (I think) here on FR?
