Those that left complained that Fetterman was obsessed with running for president, that he was shirking his Senate responsibilities and instead dreaming and plotting an imaginary path to the Oval Office. Not sure how kissing up to Trump figures into that plan unless he's prepared to switch to the GOP.

Whatever. One thing is certain: he would never get a nod from the Democratic Party, not after demonstrating Joe Manchin fever. The man has burned his bridges.

What a frigging disappointment and lost opportunity.
