18. As I've always said, the "worst Democrat" is better than any Republican, especially Oz *

* but it's clear that if Conor Lamb had been our party's nominee, we would not be having this discussion (or anything like it) today. But, Lamb was accused of being too "establishment" and too "beholden to special interests" blah-blah-blah, etc, etc. The people who wanted someone to "shake things up" have apparently gotten what they wanted. It just goes to show that people should always be careful what they wish for, because they just might get it.

I'm confident that Fetterman will not serve a 2nd term.

If you're correct, Lamb needs to get in early PennRalphie Feb 2025 #33

The last thing we needed was another centrist dem. Emile Feb 2025 #35

Warnings? The choice was between him and 3Hotdogs Feb 2025 #17

No, the early choice was between him and Connor Lamb. Oopsie Daisy Feb 2025 #19

The stroke fucked him up. He is not the same person he was IMHO. Evolve Dammit Feb 2025 #11

Maybe, but there's a list of similar turncoats that didn't have strokes. W_HAMILTON Feb 2025 #16
