https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fetterman

here are his policies.

 

He has stated “If you're rooting against the president, you are rooting against the nation, and I'm not ever going to be where I want a president to fail. So country first."

 

my current thoughts are that he is the only candidate democrats have at the moment that has a not only realistic, but a very good chance at beating whoever republicans have in 2028. The issue is that he has broken ranks among his party.

 

what do the people here think about the chances of democrats embracing this man any time soon

Naa it’s going to be Gavin newsome and or mark Kelley not lurch lol 😂 

The dude isn't socialist or murderous enough to be the leader of the Democratic Party. To do that, you have to be able to spew vile hate against your opponent and it doesn't seem he is like that. Probably because he is a decent human being who values public service as opposed to Simply being a power mad authoritarian.

When the DNC nominates candidates though, isnt their job to choose the ones who have the best chance of winning?

Do you think the dude that threatened his opponent and his opponent's children with murder should be disavowed by every Democratic politician and forced to step down from the election ?

What are you talking about?and for that matter should someone threatening 60%+ of our population with violence and retribution be president?

My first thought was "who?".  But maybe that's a good thing.  Think the Dems may have realised that an extremist candidate isn't a great idea.

Keep an eye on that Gavin Newsom fella........2028....his Trump style rhetoric occasionally is priceless.....more should do it !!!!!!! 😁

This guy actually seems pretty sensible.

 

So much so that I'm amazed The Dems haven't kicked him out, yet.

Got it. You therefore support the killing of your opponents. Thanks for playing.

Frankly, I'm surprised you haven't recommended Thomas Arthur Robb, the American white supremacist, Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.

He is the National Director of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, taking control of the organization since 1989.

Seems as if MAGA ideals and yours align with his perfectly.

Let's hope so that way the radical woke left will remain out of power.

On paper, maybe.  But based on recent history, there are more important agendas for them.

 

To have a chance with the new DNC, he'd have to go trans.  And quick.

 

Edit:  And that's not a picture I want seared into my brain.

Absolutely right! Ever since World News has been removed, we never see anything from the other side of the world.   

 

(Wow! This may be an example of the remarkable stupidity to which we are exposed.)

I expect that you would be the first to say he is not fit for office. His republican opponents have. He suffers from depression.

Fetterman's positions and statements reflect the demographics and voting positions of his state. He is also not supportive of all of the Trump agenda.

I expect that the Democrats will go with a stand up honest man like Senator Kelly. That's a man who commands respect; His  working class background is bonafide - his parents were police officers, with his mother being the 1st female police officer in West Orange, NJ, so that will attract a lot of working women's attention because he will understand how hard it is to work and to be a  mother at the same time. He also stuck by a critically injured wife and helped her regain her life after an attempted murder by a gun toting nutcase.  His academic qualifications are top notch. His MSc. in aeronautical engineering is impressive. More importantly, his military career is lengthy and distinguished, having flown combat missions in the Persian Gulf war. Unlike Vance, this man was in combat, taking risks, taking fire, and surviving 39 missions. And on top of that, he was an astronaut. Unlike Fetterman, he has a noticeable presence in the Senate. Fetterman is often absent , Kelly is not. This is an all American stand up guy with a good record of bipartisan effort and of legislative work.

Before kelly became a senator, he did the  speech circuit and he  gave one a conference I was attending. It is difficult to keep people's attention while they are chowing down on breakfast, but keep it he did, and he received a rousing standing ovation from the 300+ people in the room, many of whom were of the Republican voting demographic. Newsome is toxic and can't deliver the  stability Kelly can.

The problem with Newsom is that Californians can leave when it gets bad and still stay in the USA.  And they have been.  In droves.  We've got tens of thousands of them just in Texas.

 

Other than Rosie and what's her name, how many have actually fled Trump's America?  Not promised to leave.  Actually left...

 

Edit:  And deported illegals don't count...

You havent answered my question. You dont know anything about fetterman. Whyd you feel the need to post here?

He wouldn't run.  He knows his limitations.

Ku Klux Klan is a Democrat party organization.

Is it "depression" or some sort of brain damage?

   Either way, he would be just what US voters might go for.

   H.L. Mencken's famous quote on American Democracy nailed the current situation very well.
