    No matter which way Penn swings next cycle, Fetterman won’t have the support to beat a challenger from either side. He’s tainted to everyone, so anyone could beat him.

      I mean, according to the article that’s not the case. He’s essentially switched his Dem support for Republican support and vice versa, so it seems his total amount of support hasn’t changed much.

        But will that save him in the primary?

        I think the people who like him are generally not primary voters. People joke he’s a republican but modern republicans are so extreme he’s still pretty far from the center of that party. I don’t see him thriving against any primary challenger in either party.

        They said the same crap about Specter. He’ll try to prop himself up, but at the end of the day, he’ll lose the primary.
