President Trump and Republican leaders are reportedly trying to recruit Senator John Fetterman, offering financial backing and full endorsements if he flips his party affiliation. Reports indicate Trump is offering his "total and complete endorsement" and a financial windfall to convince the Pennsylvania Senator to defect.
Despite the overtures, Fetterman insists he is staying in the Democratic Party, pointing out that his overall voting record still aligns with their platform. Sources note that Fetterman is increasingly comfortable with the GOP, often spending hours in the Republican cloakroom rather than attending Democrat-only luncheons.
While rejecting a full switch to the GOP, Fetterman reportedly "absorbed" the idea of becoming an independent without immediately dismissing the suggestion.
It makes you wonder how long someone can stay in a house where they aren't the popular guy before they finally decide to pack their bags and head where they are treated like a friend. Common sense tells you that if the President is offering you the keys to the kingdom, it is awfully hard to keep pretending you are happy sleeping on the porch.
Thanks to Florida Hillbilly for the inspiration and graphic.

If he goes independent he is beholding to no one but can he get reelected then?
ReplyDeleteHe goes GOP? I think he is toast
If Fetterman joins the GOP, there won’t be any sane democrat office-holder.

Just what we need in the Senate. Another RINO.
ReplyDeleteHolding out to see what the Dems will offer.
ReplyDeleteIf he talks seriously about changing, the dems will run a serious hit campaign against him and suddenly his brain trauma will come up and his state will repeal him due to his injuries. And if he survives that, the dems will hit all his potential in-state funding sources and keep them from donating, while funding a very slick and expensive campaign against him.
ReplyDeleteIt's part of the Dem system. You either follow what you're told or they'll gut you like a fish, figuratively or literally.
Republicans are like a good Moslem. They'll watch you being beheaded by an Islamist.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans in Congress voting records speak for themselves. They'll lie and sell you out without blinking. Throw them all into a wood chipper and you might be wrong 2% of the time.
America First, Strong Border and Lower Taxes & Less Waste?
