He's gearing up to be the next Joe Manchin and bring in all that generational wealth playing both sides of the aisle and fleecing all of us in the process.

Or is he more of a Blue Dog Democrat?
Neither. He is an old school lib.

He was still needing a visual assist, and struggling for words. But he does seem to be improving, and his crack alluding to Menendez and gold was funny.

He's a small town PA guy that's a kid of the 70s/80s. We have a lot more in common than people think. This is the last of the era where both sides can argue about how to spend money but still love this nation and respect God.

We'd all be able to have a beer and catch some football with a fetterman.

I suspect Fetterman is trying to pull off a Joe Manchin (talk like a conservative but vote like a leftist/communist)

No, not even close.

Saw him on CNN earlier and he was basically talking like Ben Shapiro and pushed back on everything the reporter was telling him. He's also criticizing them for having open borders. It was wild. Dude was basically retarded a few months ago and now he is stern and speaks clearly? I disagree with his stance on Israel, FWIW, but his recovery is the most amazing recovery I've seen of a public figure since Magic defeated AIDS.

Being able to speak the King’s English and having like two common sense positions does not make him anything other than the progressive retard that he is.

I am not buying any of this for a second

I don't trust Socialists/Marxists

I don't trust the majority of RINO's in our own party for that matter so this sudden change of trying to label him an Old School Democrat is laughable

If he strays too far he’ll have another “stroke”.

Festerman may have had some neurological pathways rewired after his unfortunate stroke but the end result is he's thinking more rationallly now. Festerman's current political stances would definitely place him back in the category of being an old school Blue Dog Democrat.

He is the Joe Manchin of PA. Never trust an American liberal or GOPe supporter.

Tulsi gabbard and bari Weiss. Ana kasparian has turned against the left on some issues. There's others.

Not sure about all that, but a little good old fashioned Gen X cynicism would do the Democrats a world of good, instead of just cheerleading the party line of the day - until it changes.

Your mistaking him. He’s a moderate democrat that sounds like a Republican because democrats are so far left, they’ve left reality.

His wife remains a self professed Marxist....after the election. There was a lot of smoke right afterwards that she was aiming to replace him mid term. She's gone quiet since, however.

But I thought this board doesn't like moderates and centrists. What gives?

Agreed.

Followed closely by his assertion that Menendez should be kicked out of the Senate, and that land sales to China should be illegal and land they've already bought should be seized.
