I see him as being outstanding at that task. I bet he can knap a mean Clovis point spearhead out of a piece of flint too. I just don't see him in the US Senate. I hope our homo sapiens voting population sees it that way as well.

The only time he set foot in WV was when he was campaigning for another election or when he was going there for another road, bridge, or building to be named after him for "bringing home the pork."

So don't make it sound like Mehmet Oz is doing anything new. He's just taking a page out of the Democrat playbook.
Senator Robert Byrd was raised him in the coal mining region of southern West Virginia, primarily in the coal town of Stotesbury, West Virginia. He graduated in 1934 from Stotesbury's Mark Twain High School.

In the early 1940s, Byrd recruited 150 of his friends and associates to create a new chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in Sophia, West Virginia.

Early in his career Byrd attended Beckley College, Concord College, Morris Harvey College, and Marshall College, all in West Virginia.

It's a sad state when someone who presents like Fetterman is probably going to win.

People will get exactly what they vote for good and hard.

Dems love their murdering and crime. I hope they enjoy it. I'm just glad I don't live where he is. All the red states need to send him our criminals in a bus and set them free there. We honestly should do that. It's a win win. We get rid of them and they get more....everyone happy.

Byrd didn't ATTEND any of those colleges/universities. Those were HONORARY degrees bestowed on him for the "pork" he got them.

He did spend a good bit of his youth in southern WV being raised by his aunt. But as an adult, he didn't live in WV.

Robert Byrd was born Cornelius Calvin Sale, Jr. on November 20, 1917, in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina...

Byrd couldn't afford college, so during World War II he took on odd jobs as a welder for cargo ships in Baltimore, Maryland, and Tampa, Florida...

Self-educated and well read, Byrd became known for his encyclopedic knowledge of parliamentary procedure, which allowed him to outmaneuvering Republicans with his mastery of the Senate's arcane rules. But he still didn't have a college degree...

After winning his seat in the House of Representatives for a second time in 1952, the politician managed to enroll in night courses for law school...

In 1963, after 10 years of classes, Byrd graduated *** laude with his Juris Doctor from American University (in Washington, D.C.) ...

In 1994, Byrd, who had by then written several award-winning volumes on Senate history, earned an honorary bachelor's degree from Marshall University...

What college did (Robert) Byrd go to?
Byrd began night classes at American University Washington College of Law in 1953, while a member of the United States House of Representatives. He earned his J.D. *** laude a decade later, by which time he was a U.S. Senator.

You are correct that Byrd didn't attend any of those colleges/universities and they were honorary degrees.

He was first elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates in 1946. He was elected to the West Virginia Senate in 1950. He served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, beginning in 1952. I would assume he lived in WV when he served in both the WV House and Senate. This means he would have lived in WV until at least 1952 when he was 35. You said, "he never lived in WV in his whole life."

The hell with a debate. He has to release his medical records first. The people of PA must know the extent of his stroke that left him punch drunk and they need to know if he is a drug addict since abuse of drugs causes strokes.

Drug abusers have an increased risk of both hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. He has to release his medical record now.

Sounds like you wouldn’t vote for him anyway so why do you care?
He won’t get your vote.
Do you vote in PA?
It would be too funny if you weren’t even a resident.
