Fetterman opens the debate:

Maybe he was wishing “good night” to his candidacy.
And then he reportedly said he sure likes them French fried taters.
OK. That second part didn’t really happen but what he then said when asked about his fitness for office was kinda’ worse. He said “My doctoral believes that I’m fit to be serving and that what I believe is where I’m standing.”

Asked about education, Fetterman brilliantly replied:

Then he attacked Mehmet Oz for being rich. Or at least that’s what I think he was saying:
They don’t call him the best color man in the business for nothing. https://t.co/sZ196LHctC

This guy was a total train wreck. Every response was confused gibberish. But what will the media say?
Even The Politico couldn’t say good things about Fetterman.
POLITICO: How much will John Fetterman’s rocky night matter?
And they don’t mean this Rocky.
They mean more like Sisyphus attempting to roll the rock up the hill only to have it roll down over him…every single time.
“This is a disaster for Fetterman,” Time reporter Charlotte Alter said immediately after the debate.
Newsnation’s Chris Cuomo said: “Voters, I think, saw things that will definitely change the state of this race.”
“Fetterman struggled … I don’t think his preparation was great.”
Oof.
One of the things that’s driving me a bit crazy today is that pointing out Fetterman’s inability to speak is somehow making fun of someone’s illness. This man could’ve stepped out of the race after his stroke but him and those surrounding allowed their thirst for power to overrule their compassion for him or the responsibility to the voters. Clearly he is not capable of representing the people of Pennsylvania. But they believed they could run the Biden playbook and hide him in his basement. But it didn’t happen. He was exposed last night.
