Probably won't happen, but Trump is on the offensive, and I voted for that. Melt liberals... just a little bit more please.

mediaite.com -- Trump promises full endorsement if Fetterman joins GOP
quote:

President Donald Trump and the GOP are making Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) an offer they hope he won’t be able to refuse.

According to Politico’s Jonathan Martin, some Republicans believe that even if they lose four Senate seats this November, they may be able to hold on to control of the chamber by flipping Fetterman.

Why would anyone but a RINO believe or even want this??? Fetterman has a voting record that reflects almost everything the Dems want and stand for.

Such ridiculous framing

Trying to make it seem Republicans believe losing 4 seats is more than possible.

He might as well at this point. At the very least he should become an Independent. His party has left him far behind.

I am really trying to trust this guy but I think he loves all of the attention that he is getting from the MAGA world so I do not trust him (yet)

I wouldn't pursue it. You risk him voting like Murk or Collins and sabotaging the party he represents.

Also, I'd rather see him disagree with Democrats more than disagree with Republicans (if he were to switch).

Only problem is that he still votes majority Democrat. I personally like Fetterman. He has earned my respect and I used to call him Sloth. You know "Hey! You Guys!!." Is it worth to just bring him over to pass the Save Act?

Absolutely not.

He's worth more on the other side.

Assuming that he’s not magically endowed with like seven votes, nothing he ever does could pass the SAVE act.

Fetterman took over Manchin’s grift. All talk but when it’s time to vote, he’s in lockstep with the democrat party.

If Senate become 51-49, or even 50-50, Fetterman is the most powerful Senator

he can extract more from Democrats than he can Republicans, although I predict he runs as a Independent in 2028 to be re-elected

Hell no. He can become an independent if he needs a new home.

Hannity had him on his new podcast and was big time getting Fetterman to convert on his podcast.

It was overly cringe.

Fetterman had himself and 13 year old daughter threatened with their throats slashed by the dem loon challenging him.

The dems are too heels dug in to realize they could win the presidency with him...

He’s pandering to populist MAGA voters to pull them into his tent for a 2028 presidential run. My read on his calculus: Trump is going to anoint Vance, Rubio, or Don Jr. as the MAGA successor, which closes off the GOP primary as a real contest. With nothing to vote for on their side, Fetterman wants those voters crossing over into the Dem primary — for him.

So goes the Mockingbird MSM programming. They are preprogramming the subtext that the Dems would even up the Senate.
