The polling showed that Fetterman was at +68 with Democrats in Pennsylvania back in 2023.

“He was a Democrat liberal darling,” Enten said.

That is no longer the case.

“Look at how low he has fallen, down to negative 40 points,” Enten said showing the new data. “He’s down there with the Titanic among Democrats in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

    I feel like the 180 he pulled should be considered a form of fraud and his constituents should have a method to recall and prosecute him for it.

    When he gets a primary challenger, the party will protect him on the grounds that he’s an incumbent.

    He seemed like a Democrat with a spine who wasn’t afraid to piss people off. I liked that. Now I just see him as a disappointment. He doesn’t even make good soundbites.

      Otters are a keystone predator for mega-invertebrates. Collapse in their populations allowed the modern democratic party to rise.

      We wont see center right politicians with spines until the otter population is restored.

    I truly wonder why… dude completely flipped to conservative republican the second he got in office, it stuns me that the democrats haven’t just kicked him out already considering he always breaks with them anyway.

      he was always conservative, his stroke dis inhibited his true colors, it has shown people with stroke always have behavirous change to right wing fundamentalism. look at people like kevin sorbo, jim cavaziel, J peterson, and kirk cameron(he had it from drugs apparently), less known tia tequila, the filipino lady who had a show before who became a rabid right winger after a strok.

        i think it may be more simple than that. in his recovery from his stroke, the republican senators showed him more comradeship. it could be something that small.

        If he actually has brain damage from a stroke, surely thats a pretty clear case to have him removed from office by whatever mechanism.

          There is no mechanism beside 2/3rds of Congress voting to remove.

          Who from the Republican party are going to vote out the guy who is voting with them all the time?

          Who from the Democratic party is going to vote out a DINO when many of them are also DINOs.

            Fair enough.

            I can see why thats unachievable with the partisan politics of the current era.

    He never knew why he was popular and thought it was because he didn’t wear suits and spoke truth to power. Then we all saw he was just a big guy who was eager to please and gave in to the right wing crazy.
