(7,052 posts)No image, no phony smile, no pretending, no posturing. I lived in the Pittsburgh area when he was the Mayor of Braddock, and when he says he's working for the people, that's what he means and what he does. When he was Lieutenant Governor, he was the guy to whom the voters related and the go-to guy for the Governor who credited Fetterman with his very successful two-terms in the teeth of a Republican controlled legislature. I think one of the reasons he was so successful in this Senate campaign is that when his opponent attacked what he perceived to be his weakness, which was his speaking ability after his stroke, he attacked exactly what was attracting voters to Fetterman.
He's the kind of "man of the people" that Trumpies try to make out of Trump, but fail miserably. Fetterman is a true populist.
I wish him a speedy recovery and a successful senate career.
