@Reeko This entire race was like a South Park or Simpsons Skit I was entertained Thank goodness I don't live in PA Feel for Harden and Morey though
Admit it, that “slovenly slob” would beat your ass, even with health issues. FWIW, he looks and sounds like a lot of people in Pennsylvania and across the Midwest. The things you make fun of him about are his greatest strengths and why he won while battling extreme medical issues. He is charismatic, has strong leadership qualities, resonates with people and if he continues to improve physically, he has exceptional upside as a populist.
carhartt has become the new redneck designer brand like yeti I don't think he is any more genuine than any other politician.
This is what I was trying to convey to people here a few weeks ago when they were adamant Oz had a shot. Fetterman is the definition of the midwestern guy.
Fetterman certainly has flaws and his health issues didn’t help. Oz though was just a terrible candidate. He is an out of touch grifter who other than being a celebrity and endorsed by Trump had no business running in PA. That he barely beat his opponent in the primary while Fetterman won easily showed how even many Republicans in PA didn’t trust him.
Okie dokie. No idea if he is more or less genuine than anyone else. All I know is making fun of how he dresses or carries himself isn't going to change the fact that he is appealing to a lot of people.
Credit to Oz for actually conceding early and handling it with class. I don't think that Oz is an inherently bad person, but was out of touch with voters in Pennsylvania. If a day comes where Fetterman loses, I hope he is as gracious.
Oz is a sensible and rational person. He also has a brand he has to keep on going. He's probably seen what happens to others who have gone full in on election denial and how it's not ending up well for them. I doubt he wants to be in the same conversation as Mike Lindell.
Et Tu Fox News. https://www.foxnews.com/media/trump...lvania-blames-wife-melania-endorsement-report Trump 'furious' over Oz losing in Pennsylvania, blames wife Melania for endorsement: report Maggie Haberman reported some supporters are urging Trump to reschedule a planned announcement of a presidential run According to a report, former President Donald Trump was "furious" Wednesday over the disappointing showing by Republicans nationally, and blames people in particular who advised him to back Dr. Mehmet Oz in the Pennsylvania Senate race, including the former president's wife, Melania. Oz went down in defeat to Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman in the state's closely watched Senate contest, a bruising loss for Republicans trying to win back a Senate majority. Fetterman's win allowed Democrats to pick up the seat held by retiring Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa. New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, known for her access to Trump and his orbit, tweeted Wednesday, "Trump is indeed furious this morning, particularly about Mehmet Oz, and is blaming everyone who advised him to back Oz – including his wife, describing it as not her best decision, according to people close to him." "There are people pushing Trump to reschedule his announcement next week, and several Rs have texted asking whether he will, but it’s risky and would be acknowledging he’s wounded by yesterday, something that some of his advisers insist is not the case," she added. "Worth remembering that Trump is a grown man who endorsed Oz over the objection of some of the people closest to him, and instead went beyond just endorsing and attacked Dave McCormick from the stage at a rally." Trump-backed candidates in critical races across the country lost or lagged behind other Republicans in their states, and pundits across the spectrum have said Trump had a brutal night for his political brand. Oz, who rose to fame as a TV doctor but had no prior political experience, earned Trump's endorsement in the Pennsylvania Senate primary over Dave McCormick. Despite trailing in polls throughout the year, Oz's contest was viewed as a possible win by Republicans against Fetterman, who was hit for his lack of transparency over his recovery from a stroke, inconsistent answers on issues like fracking and a widely panned debate performance last month. Yet Fetterman pulled out the victory on Tuesday night, one of several contests that left Republicans shellshocked on Wednesday morning. It was reported earlier this year that Melania Trump had expressed her support of Oz to her husband. Oz was frequently hit on the campaign trail by Fetterman as a carpetbagger and too wealthy and out of touch to connect with Pennsylvanians. Oz conceded the race Wednesday morning. Many conservatives are fuming at Trump over the results in the midterms, which they viewed as a missed opportunity for sweeping pickups given President Biden's low approval ratings and record inflation.
