I think the concern is more about his future policies, LisaL Monday #13

That concern is also dead considering this feud is about his policies SSJVegeta Monday #24

A shithead centrist who lied, and pretended to be Emile Monday #48

Yea, you got to be careful LisaL Monday #49

Got it. Quit believing centrist bs. Emile Monday #53

I think at this point Fetterman would qualify as a republican. LisaL Monday #54

Actually he has a slightly better record Emile Monday #56

Bernie's candidates should be vetted more. Fetterman is Trump Nixie Monday #72

Yep, I understand answering if asked that he doesn't approve, but Fetterman seems to be going out of his way LisaL Monday #52
