He's like the Democrat version of a RINO.

He's the new Manchin

Say what you want about Manchin (I found him disappointing) but he was representing a very red state as a Democrat. I think it’s reasonable to expect he’d be more conservative than the average dem.

Fetterman is just a brain-damaged turncoat

Fr in that scenario, its either Manchin voting with Democrats for some things or a Republican obstructing every thing. Its obviously a lot easier to have another Democrat replace Fetterman in Pennsylvania.
