No, he's not. You'll see.

+1. She should have picked Josh Shapiro or Mark Kelly. She lost Michigan anyway with Walz but at least she could have picked up Pennsylvania maybe. And Walz proved to be a gaffe machine with a penchant for exaggeration similar to Biden.


Shapiro and Kelly both had Emhoff-grade woman issues. Walz turned out to have CCP issues.

Totally agree. It’s a double standard.

Agree. Maybe they would have won PA. Still don’t see a path to Wisconsin and Michigan in particular given all of Shapiro’s baggage.

Correct. His aw shucks, Midwest , coach vibe counteracted her progressive, Northern CA vibe.


Ugh. His folksy shtick and over-emotional demeanor got old incredibly fast.

She was the bad pick. There should have been a debate. She did not lose because of Walz.

I'm deeply ashamed of my country today.


Correct.

The VP pick (as evidenced by Vance), had NO impact on the outcome of this election.

Biden was the mistake. Electing a first termer that is almost guaranteed to be unfit and unpopular as an incumbent seeking re-election is a recipe for disaster and it played out as such.

I think that mattered. Yes.


I think that's why she picked him! She didn't want to be upstaged by a masculine man who was well-spoken. People might have wondered why she was top of the ticket.
