Walz is great but what does he bring electorally? Minnesota isn’t a swing state. It’s a lot like Trump picking someone from Indiana or Ohio. |
The working man small town aspect he's a vet and an educator . He'll appeal to those voters who do live in swing states. |
Strange take. Isn’t public opinion what really matters in the end? What difference does it make who political insiders like if voters are the ones ultimately making the choice? I’m not necessarily saying Buttigieg should be the pick—he has his flaws too—but when polls say voters have a strong favorite, shouldn’t we be paying attention and giving that careful consideration? https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-pete-buttigieg-vice-president-choice-2024-election-1930910 |
I’ll be honest, and I *really* hate to say this: The fact that Walz is a longtime educator scares the hell out of me. If just one former student comes out of the woodwork and claims the Walz did something wrong (true or not) the ticket is finished. Absolutely finished. It would be enough to make me cross him off the list. |
I don't think he will appeal to people on the fence. WOC is already close to being a bridge too far, and then you add a gay VP, and it pushes them over the edge. Pretty much all the other options are safer. |
This. Right or wrong, my mom and many I know are basing their vote on VP pick. |
Curious—what part of the country are they from and who do they like or not like? |
Ive been an educator for 26 years. It’s not hard to teach and interact w kids with integrity. |
Lol. It’s been a long time since anyone said I was too young for something that happened when I was well into my adult years. |
+1 Specifically on Gaza, and student protests, his record is not great. Since we need youth and Arab American voters, he would be a risky pick not to mention he has only been governor for a minute. |
Most outlets saying it’s down to Kelly, Shapiro, or Walz. |
Kelly (and to a degree Shapiro) has risen in popularity among all the undecided voters. |
Kelly for the slam dunk Walz a solid choice Shapiro is a mistake |
Kelly and Walz would be better choices if they looked a little younger. For some reason both appear older than their age. |
No they don't. They look like the 60 year old men they are.. Seasoned looking is good. Babyfaced has people thinking too young and inexperienced not capable of being presy |
