She picked Tim

[Anonymous]

What is that loud sound we hear?

Oh, it is the cheering coming from Mar-a-Lago.

Right?! Why didn’t she pick Shapiro and try to make a battle for PA? Did Shapiro not want it? Did the opposition research find stuff on him or Kelly? This is “meh” for me but maybe he’ll surprise us?

If she’s going to get PA, it will be on her own, she doesn’t need the state’s gov to carry the state. I like Shapiro a lot but his previous statements are a distraction in this current political environment. People have short memories though and who knows what the landscape will look like in ~10 years, when he’ll be 61 - a very normal age to run for pres. Plus I think he needs to stay as Gov longer - he’s only in his first term.

Given everything going on Israel right now, the dual loyalty thing could've totally splintered the Democrats and it will always haunt Shapiro given the IDF story. I say this as a Jew who knows the antisemitic tropes too well.

Not to mention creating a constitutional crisis if he ever had to serve in her stead as Commander in Chief.

Gross antisemitism on display. Same comment would not be said about other groups.

Reform Jew here. Other groups don't volunteer for foreign military service and expect to be the leader of their domestic military. Do I agree that it's a constitutional crisis? No, not at all. And it wouldn't be an issue for most Jewish politicians. It will be an issue for Shapiro though. I'm so relieved he wasn't chosen.

He did not volunteer for foreign military service. That is misinformation. He was a volunteer. Two totally different things and very common for Jews visiting Israel to provide volunteer service. Please if you are going to speak for the Jewish community be informed.

"Bonder, Shapiro’s spokesperson, said Shapiro never engaged in military activities. He said Shapiro completed a program in high school that included a variety of service projects in Israel, including on an Israeli army base. He also worked on a farm and at a fishery in a kibbutz, Bonder said."

This was a savvy choice.

+1 it would have been a never ending distraction. We don’t need that. I like Shapiro but sadly, it’s not his moment.

But she would have lost Michigan in return as so so many Muslim voters there pissed at Biden for Gaza response….

Shapiro would have caused party infighting which is sad to see a Jewish politician as controversial…

I don’t think Jewish politicians are controversial. I think politicians who behaved the was he has specifically (writing negatively about Palestinians, not responding to Islamophobia and crimes against Muslims in PA, and yes volunteering for the IDF in whatever capacity) are controversial.

Shapiro would have been divisive for a variety of reasons. Walz is a "safer" pick and Shapiro will be campaigning hard for this ticket in his state and continue to grow his national stature for the future.

She went with the progressive. She has not altered from her progressive roots.

Seems that anti-semitism on the left caused her to discard Shapiro. Expect campaign ads from the opposition to highlight this.

Doesn't matter at this point. The above is semantics given that he "volunteered on a foreign military army base" and it will sadly follow him for the rest of his career.

Lol. Trump wanted football coaches to be elevated. Good luck with this one. He has a low tolerance for Trump's bull crap and knows how to communicate it.

I think Kelly was a better choice. I like Walz but he's not exciting, and Americans are so superficial and want exciting.

Kelly had a red flag that was insurmountable.

What was it?

He is a liberal like Biden, not a progressive. There is a difference.

Shapiro is going to be a fierce advocate for Harris.

+1 This is the dual loyalty trope. It's antisemitism 101. Now that you know, please do better in the future.
