Fetterman was brain damaged. He was fat and ugly. He was a loser who never held a job.
Just how bad does a guy have to be before Rural Pennsylvanians think he is horrible?
Ultimately, it was the four suburban counties around Philly that came out heavily for Fetterman - turnout in Philly proper was actually down.
I grew up in rural Pennsylvania, and I have many friends and family who still live there.
