I'd like to point out that Ted Cruz attended just 17 of 50 public Armed Services Committee hearings, despite being on the committee.

There's no guarantee that a fully abled representative will "do their job."

I'd rather vote for the candidate who best represents my views, with a proven track record, and who will likely actually do their job and represent their constituents.

Yes because I bet Ted Cruz is the only example of a politician not doing their job correctly and abusing their power

I'm merely giving an example of a fully hale and seemingly healthy individual who isn't doing his job, as a counterpoint to your argument that a speech impairment would prevent another person from doing his.

Well I’m not really convinced that it’s just a speech impairment

I'd trust a medical expert on this one vice a month-old account on Reddit.

Also, your argument is similar to saying that Galileo and Stephen Hawking were somehow mentally deficient because they couldn't speak English properly.

No it’s not similar to that at all because I don’t think John fetterman is simply dealing with a speech impediment as I just said.
