I would not vote for him

[awesomerwb1]

1. What??

[Chasstev365]

2. Another addled brain president, no thanks!

[Ocelot II]

3. As a Republican or a Democrat?

Either way, not just no but hell, no.

[leftstreet]

6. +1

[Johonny]

12. I assume he is the 2028 Jill Stein

[Mad_Machine76]

35. That was my first question

And, also, NO!

[Still Waters]

68. Maybe he's thinking of running on the No Nothing Party

He can pick Joe Manchin for his VP. What a bang up ticket!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

82. I was also wondering about this

[Rebl2]

4. Oh brother 🙄

[JBTaurus83]

5. Wow. That stroke

Did even more damage than I thought. He’s my senator and I cannot wait to be rid of him.

[pfitz59]

8. The stroke really changed him

not the same man

[FalloutShelter]

7. Go away John.

We have had enough of you.

[Johonny]

9. Is there a doormat party?

[Tim S]

10. HA 🤣 HA 🤣 HA 🤣 HA 🤣 HA 🤣 HA 🤣 HA 🤣

[mountain grammy]

58. Exactly my reaction

[struggle4progress]

11. Fetterman has the runs.

[MustLoveBeagles]

22. You made me laugh

[Tribetime]

13. President of what ..Batshit crazy people

[JBTaurus83]

40. Well if that is the case

He may have a good shot in this country.

[Jack Valentino]

81. Running for the nomination of the "Batshit Crazy Leopards Ate My Face And I Like It" party....

???

Good luck with that, John....


Actually, he could now probably get more votes in the Republican-Israeli primaries than in the Democratic primaries, among those who have been paying any attention....

[MIButterfly]

14. Oh HELL no!

Get out of here!

BTW: Not directed toward the poster. It's just an expression.

I don't vote for Republicans or Republican-lights and I don't think think there are enough Democrats to support him. But what do I know? I didn't think DJT would beat Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris.

[Zorro]

15. More evidence he's not all there

[Quiet Em]

16. As a Republican? As part of Yang's Third Party?

He's not going anywhere in the Democratic primary.

[Pisces]

17. Fool!

[pinkstarburst]

18. As a Republican?

He would never get the Democratic nomination, which is fortunate because I could not possibly vote for someone who is a republican in every sense of the word except what it says next to his name.

[FoxNewsSucks]

19. He really is delusional

[WhiskeyGrinder]

20. Says who? Genius Tech?

[MineralMan]

21. LOL, NO!

[BluenFLA]

23. Joe Manchin will probably be his running mate

[MustLoveBeagles]

24. WHAT!!!!? 😦

Is this for real?🤯

[bigtree]

25. the entire village is abuzz

[Ritabert]

26. Ha ha. Never happen.

[UpInArms]

27. Oh my

[RandySF]

28. .

[City Lights]

29. LOL. We have already had a kook in office twice.

No thanks.

[Wounded Bear]

30. He could get Wormbrain to run with him. We all want a Kennedy back in the White House, right?

[eppur_se_muova]

31. Is this comedy, farce, or existential tragedy ?

It's not Business As Usual, I know that.

[Raven123]

32. Translation: Fetterman knows he won't be re-elected as a Senator.

An excuse for not running for that office

[ornotna]

33. This calls for drastic measures

Fetchez la Vache!

[CousinIT]

34. As a Republican? Because that's what he has become. n/t

[bluestarone]

36. Well, that's good.that means he's not running for

Senator again..He will NOT win either.

[druidity33]

37. As long as he gives up his seat...

i'm fine with it.

[Nanjeanne]

38. Oh my

[Vinca]

39. No, but which party out of curiosity.

[JBTaurus83]

41. I'd imagine his run

Would be similar to Tulsi Gabbard’s. A way to fling shit at Democrats and divide people.

[dalton99a]

42. FUCK NO.

[Charlie Chapulin]

43. Uh, yeah,

good luck with that. He’s got a snowball’s chance in Hell.

What is wrong with his brain?

[malaise]

44. Why not

Insanity is now a feature not a bug

[LSparkle]

45. Oh heck no ...

[FrankBooth]

46. He has the same political instincts as Sinema

And has torpedoed his political career the same way she did.

[miyazaki]

47. Pfft. FU Grendel. nt

[Esox Lucius]

48. Lol. Hes the Slob Joe Lieberman but without

the Slob Joementum. Yeah, banking on crossover appeal by going on Fox is a path to obscurity.

[gopiscrap]

49. my answer....

fuck him!

[sakabatou]

50. Ugh....

[VegasVet]

51. I will actively work against him to do everything I can to ensure he loses. Fucking DINO.

[Cirsium]

52. What?????

We are living through some insane times.

[yaesu]

53. I think he would have a great chance of being elected president

of Israel.

[madinmaryland]

54. The dude ner,y stroked out running for the senate. Running in the Republican primary will be even tougher.

[Dave says]

55. For me, his sanity (now, for me) is questionable

[Croney]

56. Susan Saranwrap can be his running mate.

Cue the revolution. 🤪

[3catwoman3]

79. OK - that's funny! Susan Saranwrap - LOL!!!

[Initech]

57. NO GOD! NO GOD PLEASE NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[hlthe2b]

59. He is deluded as hell. The kindest thing I can say is he may have these delusions from

lingering issues related to his stroke and psych episode that followed.

Because, otherwise, he is just beyond disgustingly arrogant.

[johnnyfins]

60. Bwahahahhahaha

[QueerDuck]

61. As a Democrat? Not in a million years. Never gonna happen. (He may run, but he'll never be nominated.)

He needs to call it a day and retire to "spend time with his family".

[Goonch]

62. ;-{)

[FBaggins]

63. Good - people are misreading this

He can't win... and it means that he isn't running for reelection in PA.

Getting out of the PA primary dramatically improves our chances of holding (or taking - depending on your perspective) that seat.

[BlueKota]

64. Would definitely not vote for him in a primary.

[kacekwl]

65. For the brain dead party

You know, Republican.

[2naSalit]

66. And get laughed out of the primaries...

He really isn't all there anymore.

[DJ Synikus Makisimus]

67. Will Jared Golden be his Veep,

since he's not running for his House seat again?

[no_hypocrisy]

69. They got to him.

Similar strategy in 2020 to split the democratic vote. (Yeezy running on "The Birthday Party" platform.)

[allegorical oracle]

70. My cat has a better chance....

[duckworth969]

71. Hahahahaha! Get lost Big Jawn!

Talk about delusional.

Yer gonna get primaried turncoat. Better you don’t run at all.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

72. no

[betsuni]

73. The Charlie Brown Party. Slogan: I know nobody likes me, why do we have to have an election season to emphasize it?

[chowmama]

74. Does he have to leave the Senate in order to run?

If so, yay!

He's pissed off too many people to win.

[Tree Lady]

75. Good luck with that

What's the saying about fool me once.....

[wcmagumba]

76. Not this Huckleberry...I would never vote for this rwnj flake of a human being...

[mcar]

77. He was a progressive hero

[betsuni]

86. Weaponizing labels "progressive" (anti-establishment, good) vs "establishment/centrist" (corrupt, bad)

to divide the Democratic Party is destructive. Once one gets the coveted label and endorsement, anything's okay (Nazi tattoo, Tulsi Gabbard) as if they're not a candidate for political office but a some kind of moral activist-saint who is always right. It's a job, not a religion!

[mcar]

87. HRC got paid to give speeches*

*as do most other politicos but it was apparently OK for them.

She was vilified for that, with so-called "progressives" harassing her.

But a guy who held a Black man at gunpoint for...reasons but said some good words = Progressive hero (that's Fetterman, btw),

and a guy who has a Nazi tattoo, is a rape apologist, etc., but said some good words = Progressive hero.

What's the common denominator here?

[betsuni]

89. Reminds me of how many times we heard "So-and-so would NEVAR take money for speeches!!!!!!"

No matter how many times it was explained that so-and-so is still an elected official and it's illegal to be paid for speeches and Hillary was not (and that as former First Lady, senator, Secretary of State of course the speaking fee was as high as other politicians with such a resume; she also gave speeches to the Girl Scouts of America and companies and all sorts of organizations -- wasn't as if she was hustling money from students/those on limited incomes by frightening them about an imaginary evil corporate neoliberal status quo establishment boogeyman -- and Hillary donated quite a bit to the Clinton Foundation), there they were right back making the same accusation the next week.

Buzzwords. It's cheap advertising. Buyer beware.

[Sogo]

78. Are you kidding???

I LOL'd just reading this post headline!

[mvd]

80. I doubt he could handle it

Also I’d support practically any other Democrat.

[BannonsLiver]

83. I bet WG would vote for him.

[UTUSN]

84. Of what? - but then, considering what is there now, can't say it's unfathomable.

[Boo1]

85. Will Bernie endorse him again?

[Mysterian]

88. For sure he will need a job

and his new republican friends won't help him out. I foresee him on public assistance a few years from now.

[peggysue2]

90. I read earlier that his original staff complained about this very thing

Those that left complained that Fetterman was obsessed with running for president, that he was shirking his Senate responsibilities and instead dreaming and plotting an imaginary path to the Oval Office. Not sure how kissing up to Trump figures into that plan unless he's prepared to switch to the GOP.

Whatever. One thing is certain: he would never get a nod from the Democratic Party, not after demonstrating Joe Manchin fever. The man has burned his bridges.

What a frigging disappointment and lost opportunity.
