    HIPAA...

    Fetterman had a stroke. He is exhibiting expressive aphasia. It does not mean his mind is gone. But it is a hellish way to survive a stroke.

    I would still vote for him over Oz.

    Lol that repubs only discussing Fetterman’s health because there’s nothing positive they can say about Oz.


    I guess when your party has no platform that’s what you do.

    You should get a job so you can pay off your gambling debts.

    OR, he's a trained observer and has made an educated inference.

    To be totally transparent: I wouldn’t vote for Oz if he was a democrat.

    It's telling that Oz decided to run as a Republican. He's previously expressed opinions that are more in line with Democrats and certainly Oprah who made him famous has been involved in Democratic politics. Oz, like Trump, made the calculation that it would be easier to run as a Repulbilcan rather than deal with the scrutiny that they might've faced as a Democrat.

    this could have been a race between Conor Lamb and Sean Parnell.

    alas.

    Yes it could have but the fact that Sean Parnell isn't the GOP nominee and Oz won by sucking up to Trump shows that Trump is still relevant.

    Fetterman won because of his skill campaigning to all sectors of the electorate including in Republican leaning areas. While Conor Lamb personally is closer ideologically aligned with me he wasn't as good of a campaigner as Fetterman.

    If Fetterman loses, which is looking more likely by the minute, the cold comfort will be why he lost (his health, not a rejection of his politics or person).

    How he loses, however, is going to be viewed as a historic electoral **** up. Dude was cruising to a blowout and for some reason they let him on TV.

    I can't hold it against voters being concerned when they see and hear him. Aphasia is something most people aren't familiar with (I'm unfortunately very familiar with it).

    It's a no win situation regarding Fetterman debating. If he didn't debate he would've been pilloried like Katie Hobbs in AZ is. His debate performance wasn't good but I don't think it was as bad or damning as many think it is. Yes it's close but I still think he wins, although narrowly and also that it mignt be days before we know.

    the fact they brought Biden & Obama to rally for him the last five days of the campaign shows how worried dems are.

    the closing argument (but muh democracy) is desperate.

    Don't be coy, you'd be guarding PA ballot boxes like a hawk if he had an AR-15 in hand.
