Pennsylvania Senate Race 2022: Even CNN Is Noticing Fetterman's Incoherent Campaigning
Townhall ^ | 08/25/2022 | Katie Pavlich

Since winning the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate back in May, John Fetterman has been hidden away from public view. Just days before voting began he suffered a stroke and nearly died. He was in the hospital when the votes were tallied on Election Day.

Now, when he does show up at rare campaign events, it's for just a few minutes. Usually wearing an oversized sweatshirt and basketball shorts, his appearance is sloppy. His words are even more incoherent and usually Democrat friendly media outlets are starting to take notice.

CNN: "Legitimate questions do remain about Fetterman's health” after disastrous campaign events.

Meanwhile, Republican candidate Mehmet Oz is hitting the road and campaigning hard to win the seat in November. 

In July and August, Mr. Oz has traveled by car or truck over 3,500 miles to 30 different counties making 139 stops in cities, suburbs and rural towns across the state. From the barber shops of Kensington in Philadelphia to the suburbs of Pittsburgh and all points in between, he’s been meeting voters where they are, something Mr. Oz said he finds extraordinarily rewarding. 

Mr. Oz, for his part, has found his stride getting personal — knocking on doors, asking questions and getting to know what issues are most important to Pennsylvania voters. And he does it well, something few who haven’t followed him around the state understand.

His work appears to be paying off as he closes the gap with Fetterman.

If you’re counting on Pennsylvania to elect a conservative Senator, then I’m afraid you’re probably placing a very longshot bet.

If a Fetterman falls in the woods does anybody hear it? This guy is going down can you say timber. He’s too sick to debate because he can’t stand up for longer than 15 minutes. His heart is not strong enough to support a 6‘8“ body. we couldn’t have a better candidate to go up against. And if you doubt what it would look like after a communist gets through running things go take a look at Braddock PA. Bye-bye Johnny and take you 12 gauge shotgun with you freaking punk.

Fetterman became a beloved figure for reviving broke down Braddock (he was Mayor starting in 2006).

And yet OZ gaffe video of him shopping at a super market he couldn’t even name resulted in 500k fund raising for Fetterman in just a few days…

That video alone shows exactly why OZ is a non starter…

Yes, should be very easy. But then I thought Biden would be easy to beat in the primaries, his opponent all able to speak coherent English.

They just got done electing a dementia patient to president. You think they can’t elect a drug-addled stroke patient?

Because running an effective and vigorous campaign is absolutely essential for a Democr... oh wait. Joe Biden says “hi”.

Nobody cares whether Drooling Uncle Fester can campaign or not. He’s better off simply hiding.

1. HE doesn’t need to campaign for himself.

2. If necessary, the media will do it for him (and ARE doing it for him) just like it did in 2020, quite successfully, for the drooling idiot in the White House.

3. If REALLY necessary, there are any number of liberals (even some RINOs, surely) who would be happy to act as a proxy on the campaign trail — Fetterman’s greasy Marxist wife, runner-up finisher Conor Lambykins, maybe even RINO asswipes like Charlie Dent can help out while they’re busy helping Joshie Shapiwo and trashing Doug Mastriano.

4. And then there’s Oz. Nuff said.

CNN not reporting or reporting on anything isn’t that big of an issue. I recently calculated CNN’s viewership in PA as a percentage of their primetime numbers. Both numbers are abysmal. If I recall correctly, CNN gets about 24,000 viewers out of a population of 12.5 million. Not reporting on Fetterman becomes a problem when all mainstream media outlets don’t.

We should also consider the way people get their news. It’s through social media and videos. The videos on YouTube don’t look great for Fetterman, although they would be worse if they weren’t highly edited. It’s nearly impossible to fully edit out how compromised his health is.

I don’t watch TicTok, so I have no idea what’s going on there. My sense is people with attention spans of gnats don’t vote.

After 2 AM. What was that they passed out 1.8 million absentee ballots and got back 2.5 million. Oh also Schapiro said I’ll take care of Allegheny County don’t worry about it. Could you give me Shapiro‘s phone from 10 PM on election night till five am the morning post election. And then tell me about the guy with dementia. This election is very simple motivate the Trump voters and discourage the Fetterman voters. I can’t wait till we get the Trump voters motivated. Maybe some them have dementia and forgot how to win!

Because Hamilton J has a perpetual hard on for Kathy Barrett. Do not respond to the guy. I got trapped last week. Just skip right by all of his comments. He’s here to piss you off.

If you live in PA We the People are asking you, and all of your FRiends, your neighbors and your relatives to PLEASE vote for Dr. Oz!

And while they are at it, to vote for EVERY Republican on your ballot!

The USA cannot endure another two years of Democrat tyranny!
