Corolla is nailing it.
No freedom at all.
The heckler chick in the front row is irritating the crap out of me, though. Had to double-check and make sure I was actually here and not not there.
When you’re on the same page as Salena Zito, you know you’re doing it right.

Agreed. It would just be very interesting for Republicans to essentially clear the field for a Democrat they're wooing.
Here's the Fetterman intro for anyone who missed it:
Here is John Fetterman’s video message for the Republican Midterm Convention: Yes, I’m a Democrat. Why am I here? Dave McMcormick is the kind of Senator that gets the job done. pic.twitter.com/mpyTynkjf9

How could McCormick not do so? He owes Fetterman.
What will be interesting is IF Fetterman wants to run again, and IF he calculates his best path is as a Republican, or an independent that will conference with the Republicans, what will Trump and McCormick do? Will McCormick endorse him? Will Trump? Will Republicans clear the field for him? Or will they try to elect a true republican and say nice things about him as they try to jettison him from the Senate?

MTG on Fetterman's support for Israel.
But the one thing John Fetterman does, that the Republican Party loves, is that he defends Israel at all costs, no matter how many children they kill.
This is exactly what the Republican Party is, the Uniparty and the party that puts Israel first.
The majority of Republican America First voters are not represented by the Republican Party.
McCormick is the first speaker I’ve heard that addressed Marxism and Islamism directly. I hope the GOP has already been filling those gaps in between the speakers.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Trump will work him over tonight.
Talarico is not getting enough attention. I think Paxton will win, but it shouldn't even be close.
Good speech from McCormick, but he’s following Shannon and Fetterman. Tough to keep that energy.
I’m very curious to hear what Todd Blanche has to say. Usually, AGs steer clear of events like these in order to project independence, but perhaps it doesn’t matter when Dems will accuse him of corruption just for taking the job.
I don't think he's suddenly become a conservative, and the big question that has to be answered is how much Fetterman enjoys being a senator. He might love it and want another term, he might think this sucks and not even wish to run again. If he wants to run again and win reelection, his smartest path is to switch parties, run as a Republican, sew up the nomination, and take his chances in the general. In the primary as a Democrat, I think he'd get killed.
But I don't know where his heart is right now. Half the time, I think he wants to be there, but other times, he acts like he's over it. His desire will probably determine his path and tactics.
Certainly since Zell Miller, anyway.
Wow, just saw the video of Fetterman introducing Dave McCormick. If they didn't hate Fetterman before they really hate him now for being part of this event.
That was probably the coolest, bravest thing I've ever seen anyone do on a political stage.
YUGE cojones
I'm always going to reject the extremes and anti-American way of life.
I am proud to count him as my friend.
OMG I'm in tears.
This is one good reason to do this, and Democrats are really making a mistake by thinking that having J.B. Pritzker give a speech in Dallas will be sufficient to counter this.
That's enough ads to blanket coverage ads for every Talarico gender ten times over.
This guy's dynamic. What's going to be cool about this evening and tomorrow is a chance to see all these more local GOP shining stars that the cray cray Democrats are sucking the air out of the room around.
