John Fetterman, the Pennsylvania Democratic candidate for Senate, signaled that he'd be open to debating his Republican counterpart Mehmet Oz – under some conditions. In a statement sent to Insider, Fetterman said, "We're absolutely going to debate Dr. Oz, and that was really always our intent to do that." According to Politico, Oz had called for debates in early September. And at a recent rally alongside former President Donald Trump, Oz criticized Fetterman's health and accused him of using drugs. Fetterman had a stroke in May while on the campaign trail, and returned to action in August. He added in his

Oz needs to make sure that he has a person behind Festerman who can see what is on his teleprompter. Just in case someone is feeding him the answers (since the one thing Demon-Rats are masters of is cheating!!!!)

I have been posting about Fetterman for some time now. He is in poor health, and he neglected his health problems for about 4 years, allowed his weight to hit 450 pounds, then dieted back down to 300 or so.
He has cardiomyopathy - congenital heart failure - atrial fibrillation, and when he had his stroke in May, they implanted a pacemaker/defibrillator. That's how serious his health problems are.
Now he suffers from a hearing loss and aphasia, apparently caused by the stroke.
(One has to wonder about drug abuse - not long after Rush Limbaugh went through drug rehab, he went deaf. There might have been a connection between opioid drug abuse and Rush going deaf. There are whispers about Fetterman being a druggie.)
He is a terrible candidate, and should be way behind Oz.

Aphasia is severe brain damage that manifests in an inability to comprehend or formulate language. It's intentionally deceptive to try to convince voters that he is hard of hearing... This isn't an ear problem, it's a brain problem.

Are OZ's answers and OZ's questions to Fetterman going to be close captioned for Fetterman?

Remember Mumia Abu-Jamal, who killed Officer Daniel Faulkner in Philly in 1981? Fetterman this year appointed the cop-killer's friend to the PA Board of Pardons. The ads just write themselves.

What the OP said. If they debate after early voting has started, I'm afraid that it will be too late. Tucker ran a special on Fetterman tonight - he's really a bad guy and has no business being a US Senator.

Close captioning requires a time delay. Could be a really long debate.

The fact that a guy like Fetterman has a better than even chance at winning is alarming and frightening.

Liberals will vote for anyone with a D after their name. They will live in a Dem hell hole rather than vote for a conservative.

Pure genius. We should have that captioning service for President PoopyPants. Either that or a translating lady in a little circle below that speaks Malarkey, much like the lady on the movie "Airplane" that speaks Jive.

Isn't aphasia what caused Bruce Willis to retire from acting? This man is a walking health nightmare. If the people of Pennsylvania elect him, I bet it will be a matter of months before he has another stroke, and that one will be fatal.

Ohio is close to behaving like any blue state. The big cities decide by hook or crook who represents us. The vast majority of Buckeyes are solid conservative thinkers but the cities are hot beds of rabid liberalism and election shenanigans. Fetterman is a joke, a very dangerous one and democrats will do anything to put him in office. I just pray that the people of Ohio will go out and vote for Oz in a big way. However, the union orcs will stick with the democrat party regardless of the candidate. Voting for any democrat is voting for your own destruction. How can people be so utterly ignorant? It boggles the mind.

I apologize not only for a second post but my thoughts also. I don’t know where my brain was but it was MIA. Geez, Louise! I know better than this. This is what comes when you post before you brains gets in gear. I am sorry. I do know better. The Fetterman versus Oz race is in Pennsylvania, not Ohio! Oh, my Lord. I am going to just shut up. Big eye roll!

Fetterman has the linguistic ability of Joey Brandon and the confused delivery of a Kammy Harris. Oz will fly rings around Hoodie Boy but it likely won’t matter... Its PA and I’m sure the fix is already in.

Why would anybody vote for a physically and mentally disabled guy for senate. Because he's still got an edge on FJB ?? As much of a phony Doctor Oz is he's better than this Fetterman fool.

Apparently Festerman cannot communicate without considerable aid. He wants the debate to be mid to late October. I assume early voting will be well underway by then.
