[Bread and Circuses]

he had a 108 pt drop ….

The historical parallel is Benedict Arnold’s popularity before and after he was outed as a foreign spy.

The historical parallel is Benedict Arnold’s popularity before and after he was outed as a foreign spy.. Ron Flipkowski.

[enough]

1. Count me in.

[benfranklin1776]

12. Me too.

Quisling to the core.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

2. Remember when he was beloved? I can't stand to see his big stupid head now

[Goonch]

3. ;-{) Shopping

[sop]

4. Fetterman must be challenged in the 2028 primary by a real Democrat.

[FakeNoose]

5. The best thing would be for him to resign this year

Second best thing is if he resigns next year. He'll never get re-elected in PA. The Repukes don't want him and the Dem voters are completely disgusted. I voted for Fetterman and donated to his campaign, but never again!

[PCIntern]

8. Ditto in toto

[modrepub]

9. Ask For your Donation Back

Wife got hers back after she told him what she thought of him.

I make a point never to contribute $ to any politician. Giving just about anyone else a donation is better than giving it to a politician in my opinion.

[unweird]

37. I asked

My email was acknowledged but no refund was sent back.

[Give Peace A Chance]

46. We used to give $ to our dem candidates

And they passed our name & info to ALL the other dems running for office.
Pissed me off! We heard from all of them asking for $$$.
That's it! No more.

[MyOwnPeace]

50. I feel the same!

I was actually at one of his rallies and was photographed with him afterward - and he used that photo on some of his campaign postings. I WAS REALLY PROUD OF IT!!!!

Now, I feel like one of those people who sent a 'private' photo that 'suddenly' appeared on the web - and you can't do a damned thing about it!

And yes, I feel betrayed, let down, and angry. This is NOT what he had 'promised.'

[Maraya1969]

33. Absolutely!

[BlueNProud]

6. GOP has him in pocket to switch should they need after midterms.

[Escape]

7. I fully expect...

this to happen. He is MAGA. He might as well get the red hat and the swastika.

[surfered]

11. I am extremely disappointed in him, but he's pro Israel which would make him anti swastika. Tone it down a bit.

[GiqueCee]

17. Let us make note of a critical distinction...

... he is pro-Netanyahu, not necessarily pro-Israel. That's like saying Americans are all pro-Trump. NOT true. There is a substantial percentage of Israelis that are most definitely NOT pro-Netanyahu. Let us not paint the entire country with that broad brush. Just as it is true here, it is true that not all Israelis support a self-serving a psychopath just trying to keep himself out of prison by starting a war.

[ananda]

18. I know quite a few Jews here who hate what Netanyahu's doing.

They are also just really great people in general.

Some of them have relatives in Israel. I know one
who lost his nephew in the first round of bombings
on Israel.

Another one had relatives who came out OK.

[Bread and Circuses]

30. Clarification.

My post was about the Hoodie senator’s approval ratings and said nothing about Israeli

I know many Israeli citizens who have taken to the streets against this horrible war. I’m sorry that they are broken-hearted as we are. There are so many good people around the world, from different religious beliefs! 💙

👉🏽Note: I am not antisemitic and I have always supported Israel’s right to exist. I wish peace for all people in the MidEast.
I respect all faiths and spiritual traditions.

[PhylliPretzel]

45. RE: Israel's right to exist

There is NO right for any nation to exist in International Law.
Only peoples have that right.

[surfered]

28. Agreed

[Bread and Circuses]

29. 100 % AGREE . Let's not conflate the two..

I never painted the entire country with a broad brush .

As you mentioned , many Israelis have taken to the streets to rid themselves of the war criminal and his corrupt regime.

I have long supported Israel’s right to exist. Netanyahu has made Israelis less safe. I want a solution for all nations.

We need to call out the unlawful murders, destruction, and land grabs that have led to so much suffering.

I don’t know why Trump and Netanyahu are on this death march, but it needs to end.

[Jvp]

40. right wing governments do this

[Escape]

55. I made no comment whatsoever about Israel...

and no, none of us need to "tone it down a little"..

[FHRRK1]

13. Which is why he should be stripped of all committees

Make his ass flip.

And for those ready to trot out the Manchin excuses, FULL STOP. PA ain’t WV. Fetterman needs to be kicked to the curb.

And I am an entitled white male, you want to pick up 3 to 5 points in white males? You bury his lame ass publically.

[Bread and Circuses]

31. I think PA has taken notice and will find a wonderful NEW Dem Senator

[BlueKota]

57. Agree about stripping him from all commitees.

[Cha]

22. And a GD Red Hoodie!

[Maraya1969]

34. But if a Dem beats him before they would have to run him against that Dem right? I think he is a goner.

[quakerboy]

42. We should preempt that

We already dont have a majority. All keeping him accomplishes at this point is allowing Trump to pretend he has bipartizan support. And tying up committee positions that could be held by a democrat.

If he wasn't on the Senate homeland security committee this last week, Markwayne would have failed to advance out of committee.

[Sector 001]

10. I've never liked him.

He was always a grifter.

[Talitha]

20. From the beginning, I never liked him either. Just something I sensed.

[BradBo]

14. His stoke destroyed him.

He might be the next Republican Presidential candiate.

[Skittles]

35. it scrambled his brain and turned him red

ugh

[samsingh]

16. He has been horrible - i hope he is primaried

[Jack Valentino]

24. Seems inevitable with numbers like those---- the only thing that might save him is

that TOO MANY Democrats might try to primary him---
which could allow him to squeak by with a minority of party primary voters....

Then again, maybe he won't even run for re-election...
or even try to walk for it, since I suppose he may be unable to 'run' at this point




He will be up for re-election in 2028.

[samsingh]

25. i don't think he'll run again

[Ponietz]

19. I hope he has a full blown meltdown sad over this

[Cha]

21. I love PA Dems! They know what

the Hell Fetterman is Doing.

I wonder if the F man is going to run as a Fascist and have Nazi money behind him?

[Pototan]

23. Penn. has a closed primary

meaning that Independents cannot vote in either partisan primary. Only Democrats can vote so there is no crossover voters.

This process bodes ill for Fetterman. His only chance is a multicandidate primary that splits the vote so that Fetterman can win with 30%.

[FakeNoose]

27. You're correct that it's a closed primary here in PA however...

... Repukes have been known to register as Democrats, just so they can mess up our primary races. Don't think it hasn't been done, because I've seen it happen. They'll never vote D in the general election, don't worry. But they will mess up our Party's primary candidates if they think they see an opportunity.

In the case of Fetterman, it wouldn't make a difference. He'll never get a primary win, and I'm hoping he resigns before we get that far. If Fetterman quits this year or next, then Shapiro can appoint his replacement who would then get a head start on the primary race that would be happening in 2028.

[Pototan]

32. I always hear that line

but people are very reluctant to change their party registrations to influence the other primary. Some may, but certainly not enough to make a difference.

Don't forget, the Repukes have a primary of their own and those voters are more likely to want to vote for a MAGA candidate in their own primary.

[rpannier]

58. 2028 is a presidential year

There will likely be more than one person running for the Republican nomination for president, senate, etc
I could be wrong, but I can't see someone changing their registration to effect the other party, when their vote likely has the same effect on their own -- and the outcome is more important to them personally

[OAITW r.2.0]

26. Sad...what changed his thinking? The Stroke?

[malthaussen]

54. I have my own idiosyncratic theory about that.

I think he was utterly shocked by what he found in Washington. We know it depressed him greatly -- he went to Walter Reed over it, after all, back when he was newly-fledged. I think the corruption and bullshit of DC must be much worse than Pennsylvania (where it is not amateur hour, either), and that he was so psychologically demoralized that it set him up for the stroke -- insofar as psychological matters can do that.

However, he is also fanatically pro-Israel to the point of unreason, and as the Gaza genocide is a matter of some importance to Democrats, having to expend intellectual and emotional energy defending that position must also be tiring for him. And he's never been big for self-justification to begin with.

There's also evidence that he is, at core, an Organization Man, and that he thus puts himself in the position of having to back DJT because of his position, and despite whatever John's personal feelings might be about DJT. This might also lead to some psychological fretting.

[niyad]

36. What are his odds for another stroke?

[bucolic_frolic]

38. A 1,000% drop is coming

He's not hit bottom yet

[peggysue2]

39. Good job, Big John!

You squandered a golden opportunity to do good for your state and the country. Instead, you whined about the boring work at the Senate, claimed the votes you missed in the Chamber weren't worth your time, daydreamed about occupying the Oval Office (something that will NEVER happen), sidled up to Agent Orange and scolded other Dems accusing us all of Trump Derangement Syndrome while hanging out with the FOX News gang.

Yes, you're very popular over at FOX. They love a turncoat.

And now your approval numbers have cratered? What a surprise!

I'd suggest revamping your resume, John. Because in 2028? You're politically done.

[Aepps22]

41. Vetting Needs to Improve

Either we as voters or the party need to do a better job vetting candidates and people like Bernie need to stop giving legitimacy to candidates with huge red flags. John should’ve been out when his racial profiling a Black runner and holding him up with a gun was discovered. His explanation wasn’t one and Bernie hand waving it didn’t help. I feel like the stroke didn’t change his character but revealed it. If he had integrity he would’ve stepped down with all of his health problems but here we are.

[dawn5651]

43. senator fetterman seems to be having a identity crisis.

[pat_k]

44. Wasn't there a quote of him saying he wasn't worried about backlash??

Can't find it in all the reporting of the magnitude of his fall, but I'm pretty sure there was.

[ratchiweenie]

47. Obviously, if he wants to be re-elected, he will have to switch parties. Of coourse, he already has, he just hasn't

formally declared it. He says Democrats have Trump derangement syndrome. Guess he doesn't care that the president is not just a rapist but a pedophile. What a horrible, horrible man.

[MyOwnPeace]

52. "What a horrible, horrible man."

Er, which one do you mean - tRump or Fetterman?

[mdbl]

48. Did the Oligarchs buy him a yacht yet?

Wonder what they promised his sorry compromised ass.

[AdamGG]

49. His voting record is like Dr. Oz won

He makes Joe Manchin look like Elizabeth Warren.

It shouldn't be hard to primary him. Josh Shapiro and others would do very well.

[Blue Owl]

51. Where's his pair of gifted novelty Florsheims?

They’d look great with his sweatpants.

[MyOwnPeace]

53. NO WAY........

tRump orders the right size for him!

[BattleRow]

59. Damn,I thought it said gilded Florsheims...

Oh,maybe those are reserved for DJT...

[Blue Owl]

61. tRump's are gilded with shitty toilet paper....

[BattleRow]

64. Follow the paper trail of the golden slippers...

[BlueKota]

56. He should change his first name to Judas.

[maddiemom]

60. "Arnold wasn't "outed" as a foreign spy...

He was a "turncoat" who'd had a well respected, even heroic, military career before he came to resent what he felt was an insulting lack of respect for his endeavors. His "popularity" was from those who agreed with him.

[wolfie001]

62. I believe he was forwarding to the British the defense layout for West Point

His contact Andre was caught with the plans in his boot and then hung. Sounds kind of "Spy-ish" to moi.

[wolfie001]

63. Everything I posted is from memory, so I hope I got the details correct

Again,
