She picked Tim

This was a savvy choice.

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

Have you heard Kelly speak? He’s about as exciting as rock.🪨

I mean none of it matters. You just don't take a popular blue senator from a red state.

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?

Shapiro wants to be president one day so he’s going to work his butt off to get Harris elected.

This election is going to be one on who wins the communication narrative. Walsh is a great communicator, especially for average folk.

Maybe so in the moment, but Shapiro’s lack of loyalty hasn’t gone unnoticed. In 2014, he allegedly planned to endorse one of his closest political allies for PA governor. 10 days before the primary vote he flipped and endorsed Tom Wolf, who quickly appointed Shapiro as his successor two years before Shapiro “announced” he was running for governor! Sweet premeditated deal. Shapiro is loyal to himself. This fact was buried under all of the Pro Israel bashing against him. VPs primary responsibility is loyalty to the president, unless the president is a felon and election fraud.

Wow, wasn't aware of this but in general Shapiro does not hide his naked ambition well. It's just too obvious and I've been wondering all along if Harris could trust him. Fetterman seems like a straight arrow and really dislikes him.

Just took a look at the Fox News site…definitely a low energy vibe in their comments. Seems like people are starting to wander away from the whole maga thing.

A former teacher who apparently first became involved in politics in 2004 because his students were catching flack for supporting John Kerry. He served in Congress is a rural, Republican leaning district for 12 years that elected Republicans before and after he left. Seems like the perfect choice to appeal to rural voters, Midwesterners and Moderates.

+1 See this thread from a former staffer. Oozes normalcy.

Because you plan on being the right winger who kicks off the violence as happened in 2020? Weird thing to brag about being a criminal but there you go.

And this can easily be countered with disturbing images of the assault on the Capitol.

Very few Americans knew who he was until like a week ago (and most probably still don't) so it's not too late to just change it. It needs a sharper sound at the end to be catchier on the campaign trail.

This is legit one of the dumber things I’ve read.

Why -- it's just a marketing thing. Campaigns are a lot about marketing. When you sell a product you want it to have a catchy name.

I think the twin assaults of Biden stepping down and the advent of “weird” has given people an off ramp from the maga highway.

Be careful of Walz and learn more about his record. He is very very savvy which is totally different than him being good for this country. I know people just look at short term winning and who looks good but substance is more meaningful. I am not yet sold on his substance. Having a good resume and knowing how to behave to crowds so they all think you're their friend is politics 101. He is a good VP choice but it does not make him in my eyes as a hero.

They’re people, not detergent.

Many swing state voters see MN as a very left leaning state politically and this will reinforce the idea that Harris is too far left for America.

Republicans say that about every Democrat.

Both of them should have gotten a facelift before running for President or VP. Too late for that now, so another missed opportunity to gain an edge over the republicans.

She looks way younger than 59. Why would she get a facelift when she already looks better than most of the early 40s people I know? Walz looks like a grandpa but that can be reassuring to idiots who think a young looking woman can’t be experienced or serious. Plus he’s energetic despite his wizened visage.

Kelly did not have a lot of pizazz beyond the resume. And I agree with PP that there was probably something that came out during vetting. His wife has been disabled for a long time. I’m a woman and pragmatic so I wouldn’t be mad at him for wanting physical intimacy with someone. But it would tarnish his public image as a loyal husband.

Hot people are more likely to win elections. As long as the facelift is done well it will enhance a candidates electability.
