WhatsappOpportunism is so common in politics that it is genuinely refreshing to hear a politician buck his own party’s prevailing attitudes on any subject – no matter what the political repercussions will be for them.
John Fetterman’s political victory was a big surprise for many people. He had a tough opponent with excellent name recognition going up against him, and he is in a State that has been a battleground State between Republicans and Democrats for many decades. Fetterman’s serious health issues shed even more light on why he was not a solid candidate for the Senate. But then, he won. What was it?
Perhaps it was the perception that many had that he was the real thing. That he would stand up for what is right even if it wasn’t popular. Whatever it was, he is a force and he has clearly made life very uneasy for the politically correct Democrats who wish they had his guts to stand up to the old guard of the Democrat Party.
