Fetterman: I'm better and ready. NBC: Er ... no, he's not

That's the problem though. An auditory processing issue isn't considered cognitive ability. He can supposedly understand, reason, and formulate verbal responses. When he hears speech, I'm assuming pathways are damaged and there is a disconnect between what is said and what he's hearing. It may sound like gibberish. If he can read the speech then he can understand and respond accordingly. If he were deaf, he would also need captioning, sign language, or lip reading to communicate. He seems to be able to verbally respond from what we've seen. I would agree that he should be more open about this, but I don't think it would have stopped people getting upset about this.

 

I happen to know someone with Down Syndrome, and honestly? There's no reason why someone like that couldn't run for office either if they wanted. A friend of the family has Downs. He is a very smart man. He holds a job, is a Special Olympian and medal winner in numerous sports, hunts, fishes, cooks, paints, and plays music. He has more talents than any 'regular' guy I know. He is a little slow in speech response but he does respond and can certainly understand quite well.

 

All of us are just speculating at this point if Fetterman needs any more time. Don't get me wrong, I have concerns too. But I haven't seen evidence that the guy is a vegetable.

Not sure anyone here is saying he is a vegetable, but it is interesting to see the reaction from the Democrats/MSM/Left if anyone questions his ability, and yet they were silent when Duckworth was questioning Kirk's ability.  Personally, if I were a PA voter, I would be more concerned by his stated policies, and the fact that he seems to profile people based on race.

I think that the combination of his health, his policies, and his profiling proclivities should be the death knell for his candidacy and election.

 

Furthermore, he's doing superficial campaigning, whereas Oz is traveling the state and immersing himself in retail politics.  This indicates a difference in the level of attention and care paid to the voters.

Asked If He Has Cognitive Ability To Be A Senator, Fetterman Blinks Twice For 'Yes'

 

PHILADELPHIA, PA — In his first TV interview since suffering a stroke earlier this year, Democratic candidate John Fetterman was asked if he still possessed the mental ability to serve as a United States Senator.  [...]

This echoes my thoughts on the matter.

For Fetterman, it's not that he's ill, but trying to hide it

 

[...] As we all now know, even though it was initially and deliberately hidden by the candidate, John Fetterman suffered a life-threatening stroke in May.  He is still in the recovery phase and has refused to release medical records, which would establish just how far along he is in that recovery.  [...]

Not a BB story.

 

Imagine if Joe Biden and John Fetterman tried to have a conversation

 

Biden chimes in, “How’s the campaign going, kid?”

 

“It’s not about kicking balls in the authority you know.”

 

“Just like Strom Thurmond used to say. Where is Strom by the way? Strom?” Biden looks around frantically for the politician who died in 2003.

 

“Problem is this whole crime . . . uh, thing. Just because I said a few times that I want to release half of murderers from jail, this fancy Oz says I’m not (using air quotes) prioritizing public safety. That I’m not tough enough.”

 

“Are you kidding me? Not tough,” Biden chuckles. “Look at you, you’re massive. If you weren’t white I’d say you could still be playing football.”

Fetterman Campaign Already Concedes Defeat in Tuesday's Debate Against Oz

 

Pennsylvania Lt. Governor John Fetterman is scheduled to debate Dr. Mehmet Oz in their one and only debate.  It's been clear for some time now that Fetterman's campaign has tried to avoid this debate, and I would not be surprised if they back out at the last minute, but for now, it looks like it's on, and the Fetterman campaign has taken the lowering expectations game to a new level.  [...]

The Debate Was Over From Fetterman's First Response, but Oz Just Trounced Him With Reality

 

We knew it was going to be bad right from the start, with Fetterman's first response in the debate, Fetterman wished everyone a "good night," as though the debate was already over.  This was the beginning — and, effectively, the end of the debate.  [...]

Dubbed a "perfect metaphor," American flags that stood directly behind Fetterman blew over from strong winds just as he began speaking.  [...]
