    He can’t wont win as a republican

    Actually he might depending on how the political winds blow by 2028. I can’t find it now but I recently came across a graph of Fetterman’s approval rating with Democrats and Republics and the former declines while the latter climbs such that the sum of the two is basically flat. He could legitimately do it. See these figures from earlier this year; he has a very respectable approval rating.

      No. He can’t win as a republican. If you think that, you’ve missed how politics works in 2016 and beyond.

      Whoever runs him, if they choose to do so, loses the election.

        I’m assuming approval ratings could translate readily enough to primary votes. I could be wrong, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
