Is Fetterman the most reasonable Dem or just trying to get reelected?

I believe that it’s appropriate and the responsibility of a U.S. Senator to have a conversation with President-elect Trump's nominees.

That’s why I met with Elise Stefanik and Pete Hegseth, just wrapped with Tulsi Gabbard, and look forward to my meetings with others soon.

My votes will come from an open-mind and an informed opinion after having a conversation with them. That’s not controversial, it's my job.

Watch how he votes, not how he talks, to answer your question.

There is pretty much nothing about this dude that matches the current Democrat party, except the way he votes.

Hopefully one day he’ll wake up and realize his party not only left him, but actively hates him, and make better decisions.

Because he is in Pennsylvania. He will 100pct vote party line when they need him 100pct of the time. He will only casually vote against his party if it means nothing and he will be able to campaign as a moderate in his state that is leaning more right. A tale as old as time.

He’s supposed to be the Democrats path forward. A “reasonable” blue collar white guy that appeals to the working class.

He is a POS Dem that votes with other POS Dems just about 100% of the time

Nothing reasonable about him

He is trying to fool the easily fooled

I'm not sure about how he voted when he was in politics, but Harold Ford Jr. talks like a normal person and seems to see both sides of the issues.

He’s simply one of the very few leftists who isn’t willing to trade in any semblance of self respect he ever had merely to poke Donald Trump in the chest and give him a hard time, even if for only a fleeting moment.

just trying to get reelected .... in 4 yrs?

Fetterman is an old-style politician --- i.e., not everything the other side believes/promotes will end the world.

He probably recognizes there is a lot of value in being a 'swing' vote. If the R/D count in the Senate is close, the handful of Senators that 'swing' have a lot of leverage.

Weird that a nearly brain dead man is the most reasonable Dem

Yea being a swing vote is a good paying gig for a Dem.

It’s about the same as the grift that Bernie pulls every 4 years
