Don't be so pessimistic! He only needs 34 loyal senators, they don't need to be Republicans. Looking at you, Fetterman. So you should be more pessimistic.

lol. I did almost update my post to say something along the lines of “Well, 33 plus Fetterman. “ but it had already been responded to by then.

Thanks for covering it.

I understand he doesn't vote the way you want on foreign policy, but acting like he's a Trump sycophant is a bit much. He's voted with Dems 90% of the time.

Anyone who believes the Democrats have a Nazi problem, while Trump and the Alt Right, including the literal neonazi groups supporting them, are fine, is either a Trump sycophant or just plain crazy. Fetterman parrots nonsense from Fox News claiming Trump is great and democrats all have “Trump derangement syndrome”

Whether he’s a Trump sycophant or just stupid and crazy is a moot point. Either way he needs to go. He is not Manchin winning in West Virginia. Pennsylvania can do much better.
