He’s been campaigning for her a lot and for Casey too. He talks about it on his personal account not his senatorial account.

it gives me chills to see that the other side thinks highly of one of our slave trading pedophiles. I just knew we can come to the middle!

Are you talking about Fetterman or Walz?

Either way that’s an accusation I’ve not yet come across.

I think NS is speaking generally about the view from the right towards most of the left, which is why they are shouting for Epstein’s client list and Diddy’s videos.

Fetterman might be campaigning for Harris, but it really feels like he’s hedging his bets.
Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman opened up about the state of the presidential race in his key battleground state and called former President Trump’s support there "astonishing" while predicting that Elon Musk’s endorsement is "going to really matter."
"There’s a difference between not understanding, but also acknowledging that it exists," Fetterman told the New York Times in an interview published Saturday morning when asked about enthusiasm for Trump in Pennsylvania. "And anybody who spends time driving around, and you can see the intensity. It’s astonishing."
Fetterman continued, "I was doing an event in Indiana County. Very, very red. And there was a superstore of Trump stuff, and it was a hundred feet long. [There were] dozens of T-shirts and hats and bumper stickers and all kinds of, I mean, it’s like, Where does this all come from? It’s the kind of thing that has taken on its own life. And it’s like something very special exists there. And that doesn’t mean that I admire it. It’s just — it’s real."
Fetterman said he believes Musk, who endorsed Trump and appeared with him at a rally at the site of the first assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, will be appealing to voters in Pennsylvania.

That's about as close to a good faith understanding of Trump support, as a Democrat would feel comfortable giving. For most TDS sufferers, they are incapable psychologically of generating a good faith understanding of Trump support. For Fetterman, I guess he probably can, but is still constrained by his party affiliation.

Well, maybe Fetterman is a smarter pol than I gave him credit for being.
Trump said something on Rogan worth noting, and to paraphrase...Politics is a very tough business and the people who last in politics have to be very, very smart people.
He went on to say that lasting applied to the guys with 20+ years in office. Maybe Fetterman wants to be a 20+ year guy...The next Centrist. I dunno...

He actually is a fit for the Trump Democrat Party.

The GOP won't be Clintonian Democrats, but they're not going to be Old Skool fiscally conservative, socially liberal NE Republicans.
Told ya'll, the party is changing...

You’re wishing. It’s the1990s Democrat party, through and through. No problem that government can’t fix, right?
I might possibly pull the lever for Trump, but that will be only because he’s slightly less dangerous than the weird thing the Dems have become, but stop fooling yourself. Trump is far closer to Clinton than he is to the Tea Party.

It wouldn’t shock me to hear jolly voted for Clinton, like the rest of his state.

Well, at least you won't have to worry about being shocked today.
Day's still young, though...

An accurate reflection of his constituency?
