Reply to comment by U84owe4 in If you were planning to vote for Fetterman prior to last night’s debate, are you still planning to vote for him after watching his debate performance? by Minute-Ad9621
I saw him in Butler County last week. He did nationally televised interviews.
I'm not sure exactly what additional transparency folks were expecting. The man had a stroke, and is suffering from aphasia. Like the big man says, no matter what happens in this election, he'll be better in January, and Oz will still be a fraud.
I want to believe that Oz would be a compromiser if he was elected, but the guy literally stood on stage and said he'll support whatever the GOP wants.
That's not being middle of the road. That's being a puppet. Say what you will about JF. He's his own man.

Can you point me to where he said he will “support whatever the GOP wants”? - that is not what he said at any point during the debate.

I never heard him say that either

He implied that he will vote on party lines in two ways:
First, he criticized John Fetterman for disagreeing with Joe Biden and other Democratic party leaders. This implies that Oz views dissent or disagreement in that respect as a negative behavior.
Secondly, he made a blanket statement that he would support the GOP candidate for president no matter who it is. That's not the kind of thing that a maverick says, despite the fact that Oz is trying to frame himself as one.
The only reason he wants to wear that hat is because he believes it is politically expedient. Take a look at his statements during the GOP primary, and ask yourself if this guy is actually going to work towards the middle at all.
The debate between the GOP candidates was almost unilaterally about who would support Trump and his policies most unilaterally.
If you'd consider voting for a healthy JF, then you should know that nothing about his platform has changed, and he'll be a lot better by January.
I've met John in person half a dozen times over the last 5 years. For me, it's about my job and my labor union.
John is the most pro-labor person in PA government.
Oz would support policies which will make my family less secure and force me to work with less dignity and bargaining power.
