Fetterman in Sinema territory:

[applegrove]

Fetterman’s poll numbers are now in Sinema territory: sunk too deep with his party to win a primary, artificially inflated by Republicans who’d never actually vote for him, trapped in a negative-partisanship era that makes an independent bid implausible. His seat is up in 2028.

1. He's gonna switch

parties, isn't he.

[617Blue]

20. I wish he would. Either way he's won't be reelected, if he even runs.

[Frasier Balzov]

2. Well I would tell Conor Lamb to run for that Senate seat again.

Once I am absolutely sure he isn't willing to run for President!

[Cha]

9. I'm thinking Conor Lamb will run

for the Senate in 2028.. I read on here that AOC has apologized to him.

It will be here before we know it.

[Celerity]

17. here

[Inkey]

10. Conor Lamb will be on the 2028 US Senate list for PA

But I am certain that we will have several other Democratic contenders on the primary election ballot also.

15. Lamb is not going to run

He did a few town halls in R districts and talked a good game, but at heart, he's a centrist.

The person to keep an eye on is Congressman Brendan Boyle, of NE Phila. He's the current minority chair/top D, on the House Ways and Means committee. He's a smart policy wonk like Sen Casey and is a clear and concise speaker. He knows his history, too. Boyle has very carefully built and mapped out his political career, one step at a time up the political ladder similarly to Shapiro.

Boyle's a guest with O'Donnell a lot if you've never seen him.

3. He will be retired at the end of his current term. Nt

[Nictuku]

4. He looks kind of Evil in that photo

[Blue Owl]

5. Fetterman's 15 minutes have expired awhile ago

Out with him!

[Figarosmom]

6. Maybe he'll run as a repub

But I think he's ready to retire.

[Deminpenn]

16. I'll be surprised if he runs for re-election

The Senate is a big club where personal relationships matter. Fetterman has always struck me as a loner marching to his own drummer. Now he's in an organization that requires otherwise to have an impact. My sense is he's not really happy being a senator or in the senate.

He was like that as LtGov, too, doing his own thing, mostly related to his role on the state pardons board, and not much time presiding over the state legilature.

7. What is with all those number tattoos on the inside of his arms?

He could have another stroke, could solve a problem or two.

[Inkey]

11. He got them when he Mayor of Braddock

His right forearm features dates of nine people killed by violence in his town, while his left forearm bears the ZIP code 15104.
He was against gun violence then.

[niyad]

13. Thank you.

[Cha]

8. Are Fetterman and his Hoodie

auditioning for a Faux Gaslit gig?

[Dunc]

14. Human garbage in a hoodie.

[Takket]

18. I think he's hoping to be Democrat 51 in the senate after the midterms

Because he wants to parlay that into endless ass kissing for himself with way Manchin and Sinema did when they held the power to sink Democratic bills.

Or he may just switch to rethug.
Either way we as a party need to seriously look at how people like Sinema and Fetterman as slipping past the primary process and figure out how to stop it.

[617Blue]

19. Yep. Can't win as a GOPer or a Dem.
