HMM: Inside the Quiet Republican Effort to Flip Fetterman.
If Fetterman does flip, according to officials who were given anonymity to talk about sensitive matters, it will be thanks in large part to his deepening friendship with a pair of senators and their high-profile spouses: Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.), and his wife Dina, and Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.), and her husband, Wesley.
But the first-term Democrat — who’s infuriated his party with his harder line on immigration and staunch support for Israel, Trump nominees, government funding bills and most recently the president’s ballroom — isn’t yet persuaded.
“I’m not changing,” Fetterman told me in an interview Friday when I asked if he was ruling out both becoming a Republican or turning independent. “I’m a Democrat, and I’m staying one. “
Yet, at least in private, he’s not totally rejecting dropping his “D.”
When one senior Republican recently brought up the idea of becoming an independent to Fetterman, he absorbed the suggestion and didn’t embrace or reject the overture, according to a GOP official familiar with the conversation.
In our interview, Fetterman said bluntly: “I’d be a shitty Republican.”
That’s certainly my impression, although to be fair, maybe not all that much worse than a few current GOP senators you could name.
Still, while he seems unlikely to flip, it’s easy to see him dropping the (D) for an (I).

Read the whole thing, but this stands out: “As people have realized the United States government will pay them to hang out with their own families, northeast Columbus has seen its economy replaced by businesses that bill Medicaid. And Columbus, a city with the second largest Somali population in the country, has become, on the surface, the most unhealthy city on the planet.”

With free healthcare and workers' rights. It's hard to tell the difference between the Nazi party platform of 1933, and any recent DNC platform. Plus, Hitler was a vegetarian, and anti-smoking.
