She picked Tim

That’s your quibble? That he’s 60 but you thought he looked older?

Nobody knows for sure, but he was pretty wooden on tv. Maybe he didn’t gel with Harris.

He was toxically masculine. I am very serious.

Phony “American hero” wannabe.

Well, if you're concerned about age, then you definitely shouldn't be supporting Trump who is clearly showing signs of dementia.

The average American now follows politics because our democracy is on the line. They'll understand that although he looks older than 60, he's not.

Can you imagine Trump trying to be a football coach 😂

Not to mention wearing a t-shirt for a charity that works to prevent suicide among veterans. Mission 22. Look it up. It is a great organization and if he is a supporter that will go a long way with vets.

Contrast that with Trump’s statements on vets and military people…

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.

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

But there is dual loyalty. Some Jewish people I know say they care more about Israel than the US. Not saying that is Shapiro but it is not uncommon. No way he can even pretend to be unbiased in Middle East politics

So why are you saying there is dual loyalty? I'd check myself if I were you.

Jew here. Jews have been the target of this since before Israel existed. Not always considered a citizen by the country they were born into and live in. The divided loyalty thing is definitely a long-running anti-semitic trope and Shapiro having volunteered in Israel and worse, on a military base plays right into it. All it takes is for someone to say, "You volunteered for the IDF and not your own military, why?" It's devastating because even if it's misleading, it paints him with suspicion rightly or wrongly and it will follow him for his career.

What do you think his answer would be? (Maybe he has, but I haven’t followed him at all.)

PP here. I don't think there is a good one. Maybe chalk it up to youthful idealism and emphasize the other volunteering work he did. But it won't go unnoticed that he didn't use that youthful idealism to serve his own country in any military capacity. That's also a classic anti-semitic trope (e.g., effete, urban intellectual). Kelly and Walz both served. That matters to more than a few folks.

For gd's sake, he didn't "serve" any country - he did summer camp IDF service. This was a very normal thing for Jewish kids to do in the 90s!

But who cares anymore because we got MY MAN WALZ!

He was born in 64. That aint Gen X by any measure.

Why is he so fat? He looks awful. Makes me doubt his ability to think clearly and lead if he can’t bother to eat healthfully, exercise, and/or jab himself with an injection once a week.

Same goes for Vance and Trump of course.

Gotta remind the minorities they’re not “real America” according to the GOP. That’s a very weird thing to do, PP.

Who is "clandestine"? People really need to stop turning for Twitter for info. Any creep can be amplified on there.

They brand everyone an extreme leftist.

+1 Lots of tightly puckered “moderates” on this site today.

I’m a Minnesotan and I’m super jazzed about Walz as the pick.

I’m a moderate and I think his personality is a breath of fresh air.

Same poster. I suspect the hate isn’t from moderates but from more establishment east coast Dems who wanted a more establishment east coast Dem pick.

Also, I’m curious about why Kelly didn’t make the cut. Walz may not have been the first choice.

We need Kelly in the Senate.

Weird. What a burden.

Sorry you misunderstand me. I’m saying
If the people who lived there reelected him for his response, it’s not a legitimate attack.

Hahaha the right is trying to “old white guy” Walz, who is 20 years younger than Trump. Keep it coming, morons
