Why is headline not gooder English? Perhaps consult The Elements of Style, by William Strunk, or alternately, fire your editor.
If it was a job interview, he wouldn't have made it past "thank you for your resume." He has ZERO relevant experience and does not rise to the academic rigor required to be a US Senator. Cory Booker (my Senator) aside, I want my reps to be educated and have legislative experience.
Iirc, by college we were mostly reading Shakespeare (for Creative 101 & 2) and American shorts, probably based on time constraints. I came away as a big WCW fan, Jersey guy, so maybe I'm partial as a homer.
I absolutely know we read Sinclair.
Do you recommend reading that, or something else by him? Should I be disappointed that he was never one of the authors I read in HS or college? (that I can recall.)

That fools reveal themselves so easily is one of the scant benefits of the social media age.
I am equally qualified to be a Senator.
His entire political experience is being on the planning board for a town of less than 1300 people.
WTF?!
(More proof that policy is boring and the American electorate AND the pundit class have no interest in discussing it.)
ABCNY7 loves Cuomo, which makes sense because they slobbered over Adams.

The frog has three eyes. Now i knt that may have happened in nature, but it's not normal.

As a Senate candidate, Fetterman guaranteed voters he’d be a reliable Dem, not another Manchin or Sinema.

Constantly. It was his core promise to primary voters.

Liar.
