Don't You Think You Deserve Better?

I watched about a half hour of the Fetterman- Oz senatorial debate debacle on Tuesday night. It was horrible. Aside from the fact that John Fetterman who suffered a stroke in May seemed unable to comprehend what was going on, neither he nor his opponent Mehmet Oz

answered the questions posed to them or offered any cogent policy solutions to the pressing problems facing the nation and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Neither candidate provided the viewers any real reason to have confidence he would provide the needed change to help steer the nation and state from the abyss they are headed over.

Both candidates reiterated their campaign ad rhetoric and personal attacks against their opponent in lieu of any real policy or legislative ideas. It was so painful to watch I turned it off after about thirty minutes. Whew, I feel sorry for the residents of Pennsylvania, I really do. Can’t the residents of the Keystone State do better?

John Fetterman is obviously still affected by the stroke he suffered in May; so much so that it should create concern about his ability to function in the US Senate. Mehmet Oz, the physician, and TV personality was only a little better. He was more coherent and cogent than Fetterman, but he failed dismally to move beyond clichés and his campaign rhetoric in his responses to the questions asked of him and his retorts to Fetterman’s attempted rebuttals and attacks.
