I never found Fetterman nearly as articulate and consistent in the positions he took before he went Manchin on us.

I know I am not the person I was 20 years ago and certainly not 40 years ago. It is plausible to me that Platner has gained a lot of wisdom over the years. If he hasn't, then he is working really hard to fool people.

He certainly has AIPAC convinced that he is who he says he is, and they are shitting bricks.
