    Fetterman is looking to swap sides after the midterms to help prevent a Dem Senate. I expect he’ll be well compensated for his rat fuck behavior.

      If the Democrats win an extra seat, they should double dog dare him to switch. Make him Chairman of the committee for naming post offices.

        Committee chairmanships are generally given by seniority. That’s why they want octogenarian senators in safe seats: to give them control of committees.

          They’ve removed committee assignments from members who do dumb things before

      I mean the R’s aren’t going to have him. Why would you put someone onto your bench when their first and immediate next step will be to catch an L?

      Fetterman loses his next election, regardless of the team he’s on. He can’t wont win as a republican, he can’t wont win as a democrat. Republicans are just using the ogres club for all its really good for right now. He’ll be cast aside in a moment.

        I mean they can still use him to deny the Democrats a majority if the election is really close. And if it’s a draw then Vance is the tie breaker vote.
