It often seemed as if Fetterman was prepared to just repeat talking points &#8211; but he couldn&#8217;t even read the script for those properly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To give just one example (of many), Fetterman&#8217;s response to a question about whether he supports a $15 minimum wage was.\u00a0 &#8220;We all have to make sure that everyone that works is able to, that&#8217;s the most American bargain&#8230; that if you work full time you should be able to live in dignity as well true. And I believe they haven&#8217;t had any business and uh as uh you can&#8217;t have businesses being subsidized by uh paying individuals who simply can&#8217;t evade to pay their own way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Watch below:<\/p>\n<p>At one point in the debate, when he was confronted on his flop-flop on fracking (which he publicly opposed for years and now claims to support), Fetterman replied &#8220;I do support fracking, and I don&#8217;t, I don&#8217;t&#8230; I support fracking, and I stand, and I do support fracking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joe Biden and Kamala Harris almost sound as articulate as Winston Churchil by comparison.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While there are actually Democrats attempting to pretend that everything went fine for Fetterman (yes, really), the consensus among Pennsylvania voters who have functioning ears was that it was a trainwreck for Fetterman, with<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/10\/25\/poll-82-of-viewers-say-dr-oz-won-senate-debate-against-john-fetterman\/\"> 82%<\/a> in the swing state deeming Oz the victor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While we&#8217;ll have to wait to see how the polls change, volume surged in betting markets (<a href=\"http:\/\/electionbettingodds.com\/about.html\">which do a better job of predicting election results than polls<\/a>) during the debate, with Fetterman&#8217;s odds crashing like the stock market on Biden&#8217;s watch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the debate, someone had to bet 57 cents on Oz to win a $1 on the political betting website<a href=\"https:\/\/www.predictit.org\/markets\/detail\/7016\/Which-party-will-win-the-US-Senate-election-in-Pennsylvania-in-2022\"> PredictIt<\/a>, while someone who thinks Fetterman will win the race had to bet 47 cents to win $1. Converting these to probabilities doesn&#8217;t add up to exactly 100% because the bid\/ask on PredictIt, and potentially due to market illiquidity, but it roughly means that pre-debate, bettors were giving Oz about a 55% chance of winning the race, and Fetterman a 45% chance &#8211; plus or minus a few percentage points in either direction. While Oz had the edge, that&#8217;s still basically a coin-flip when working with a sample size of one event.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While only a few thousand dollars was being wagered on the race pre-debate, during the debate betting volume surged to nearly $100,000 for that hour, and Oz&#8217;s implied chance of victory has surged to nearly seven in ten.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/content_odds.png\" \/><br \/>In response to the disastrous performance from Fetterman, the left&#8217;s pundits have mainly resorted to accusing people who want Senators to be able to speak complete sentences of being bigoted against the disabled.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Lol this is what they\u2019re going with. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3rpAvF8m9C\">pic.twitter.com\/3rpAvF8m9C<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Columbia Bugle \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@ColumbiaBugle) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ColumbiaBugle\/status\/1585097660117135360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 26, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We&#8217;ll see how that strategy works out for them in a couple weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Matt Palumbo is the author of\u00a0<i data-stringify-type=\"italic\"><a data-remove-tab-index=\"true\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/posthillpress.com\/book\/man-behind-the-curtain-inside-the-secret-network-of-george-soros\" href=\"https:\/\/posthillpress.com\/book\/man-behind-the-curtain-inside-the-secret-network-of-george-soros\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" tabindex=\"-1\" target=\"_blank\">The Man Behind the Curtain: Inside the Secret Network of George Soros<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss The Dan Bongino Show<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While out on the campaign trail weeks ago, Democrat Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman roasted Dr. Mehmet Oz as &#8220;out-of-touch&#8221; after the Republican candidate released an ad where he cringely<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1711853,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1711850","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1711850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1711850"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1711850\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1711853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1711850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1711850"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1711850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
