HARRIS IS SELECTING MARK KELLY

He’s perfect. Except for the whole losing a seat part.

But for all you guys know, Kelly is an even more staunch Zionist than Shapiro. His surname just isn’t Shapiro.

Kelly does not have the track record like Shapiro. Shapiro is same as the poster calling everyone pro Hamas and attacking Ivy presidents.

And he is correct.

I really like this if it was true.

Shapiro seems like drama.

But a boring safe pick didn’t help Hillary.

Kelly is great and not dramatic. I guess being a fighter pilot and astronaut is dramatic, in a good way?

Toxic masculinity.

I don't see what's toxic about it.

And I actually think the opposite. I think that it is positive masculinity. You can be masculine and still not be sexist. You can be masculine and still be an equal supporter and partner of women.

+1 I only have boys. I talk to them, especially the eldest, about positive masculinity especially as their friends fall down the toxic masculinity slope. There’s nothing toxic about Kelly’s masculinity.

They’d have to be sure to have a good replacement in the wings. Is Gabby well enough to do it?

I don’t think so. She struggles with speaking, would probably be too much right now. They can recruit another moderate veteran, shouldn’t be determinative.

And this is why a vote for Shapiro is a vote for Netanyahu, Israel and posters like you.

Oh boy, it's hitting the fan now.

Shapiro apparently paid $295K in Pennsylvania tax payer hush money to keep a scandal quiet.

+1 it doesn’t matter what the truth is, it will be a nightmare of inflammatory rhetoric.

But getting the far left to show up and vote isn’t really the strategy, this isn’t a primary. Nor do they need to persuade Trump voters. They need to get high propensity suburban voters who are in in 5-6 states, where only one Israel will be a real issue (Michigan). The anti-Israel fanatics aren’t much of a factor in the general election. That’s primary thinking.

Apparently there’s a solid enough bench. https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/elviadiaz/2024/07/22/mark-kelly-replacement-senate-vice-president/74505081007/

And key: he only needs to resign his seat if they win.

A arbitrated settlement isn’t hush money.

With a non-disclosure agreement that was paid with tax payer dollars. It sure is.

Binding arbitration basically always comes with a nondisclosure requirement.

Even in Michigan, Harris is already up by more than 4 points. She doesn't automatically lose Michigan if she picks Shapiro. And if Arab-Americans and progressives think Trump and Vance are going to be better allies against Israel, well, I don't know what to say.
