Could John Fetterman Be the Next Bill Clinton?

Could John Fetterman be a real contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028? Is it just possible that Fetterman could assume the role of a Bill Clinton in the next presidential election? 

That was the thought I had recently while watching Fetterman in a Fox News segment. I used to think it was a laugh line when it was suggested a couple years ago that the Dems may run him for president, before he'd recovered as much as he has from a near-fatal stroke he suffered in mid-May 2022, just days before he cinched the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania. He would go up against Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Republican candidate in that election. Remarkably, given the debilitating effects of his stroke, Fetterman defeated Oz. 

Fetterman became the object of some derision on the right, based on his policy positions, the mangling of words resulting from his stroke-induced neurological impairment, and later for his insistence on wearing hoodies, baggy gym shorts and trainers on the floor of the Senate. One of my friends in conservative talk radio took to calling him “Lurch,” after the Addams Family character. Pretty funny, if a bit unfair.
