Isn't there significant speculation his wife takes the seat? And didn't this speculation start before the election and his most recent hospitalization? Would you really expect the speculation NOT to intensify once, as many predicted, Fetterman became incapacitated? People will talk about this whether you like it or not.

That's true and I hadn't really thought of that until someone else brought it up. My first instinct was to say I don't care where Fetterman's wife takes the kids on vacation.

Gisele doesn't need to care about optics because she's not standing for the seat. Anyway the Fettermans are not the Tammy Wynette Stand-by-your-Man types to begin with (HRC callback from 1992). Although if John is going to try and work a backroom deal with Shapiro where Gisele gets the appointment then they'll all have to worry about optics. Maybe she's decided she doesn't want it?

-- Her own home state, our state of PA, has some of the best vacation spots in the country. Why go father away when you husband is in the hospital?

-- Why take pictures and selfies, post them, and document it on social media? Bad optics to say the least.

-- Who, when their husband is in the hospital with the conditions Fetterman has, takes the kids and goes on vacation?
John needed to focus on himself and getting better. Gisele was protecting her children and her own sanity by leaving her home where the media had decided to camp out. I see the horror optics of, "STAND BY YOUR MAN!" but geez, I'm in favor of giving the whole Fetterman family some grace and privacy.

When you sign up for a position to lead an entire state, you sort of give up such freedoms. The state voted him in and he needs to perform. This isn't just some job you can easily be replaced. He wanted this and got it. Where is he?

As you can tell, I am very disappointed in him not even being able to do anything, but historically he never has done anything. He is showing who he is. Weak.

Someone still committing to public office and a major nationalized campaign after having a major stroke is the farthest thing thing from "weak."

The only thing that's disappointing is that the right-wing character assassination of Fetterman and his family continues unabated.

Get a life and turn off the Breitbart, folks. There's a whole world out there that doesn't revolve around your seething hatred of the CoMmUniZT LiBeRaLz.

WIth Giselle on vacation, who's going to attend to the job of Senator?

Somebody's got to push the law that "Fedderman introduced" in the Senate last week.

As an undocumented alien from Brazil, Giselle's done very well for herself. Now she can be Pennsylvania's unofficial U.S. Senator. Many thought she was calling all the shots from Day One anyway.

Seem you are the one that fell for a person that has done absolutely nothing in his life. You are aware of Fetterman's past correct? He lived off his republican parents till nearly 50 years old! Yes, almost 50!

So what has Fetterman done so far in his life? Mayor of Braddock? It is a crime infested dump.

Keep pretending. Fake worlds come crashing down eventually. I looked at his resume. He is a fraud and a puppet. He is as weak as they get and a spoiled brat. You voted for him. Own up to your mistake.
