McCormick holds first tele townhall meeting

https://www.post-gazette.com/news/politics-local/2025/04/09/dave-mccormick-tele-town-hall-give-president-trump-some-time/stories/202504090087

Ironic, and hilarious, that Mr West Point, honor, duty, country grad and combat veteran is too scared to meet with his constituents face to face.

McCormick gave most ot usual stock answers to tough questions from constituents. Supports veterans, won''t cut soc security, medicare/medicaid, supports Trump's agenda, yada. The biggest news is that his 87 yr old father is nervous about the economy and he'll only serve 2 terms because he believes in term limits. I think Pennsylvania voters will decide if he gets that second term or not.

Works. Don't think he likes his new job. I agree with you all.

Fetterman is kind of a loner, introverted even. This isn't the usual personality of a politician.

or something along those lines, but as you point out, compare what he says to what he does.
