Keep em coming! I can't wait for more of these type of stories from Walz on the campaign trail!

You will only be getting them from Dultuth, Minneapolis, and Rochester.

Think about how creepy this would look if it was Trump. That picture seems so wholesome and genuine.

Same goes for Vance and Trump of course.

He is thinner than Trump and Vance.

We have the same thing again?” So I googled his age and thought 60 was a mistake. He doesn’t look 60.

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.

There’s a lot to unpack there.

The average American doesn’t follow politics.

The average American does not think “our democracy is on the line,” at least not as you mean it, and they think the use of that phrase to attack the GOP is hyperbolic, though they wouldn’t use that word.

The average American cares how much it costs to insure their house and car and health, how much it costs to take themselves or their kids or their parents to the doctor, how much it costs to fill up the SUV, and how few bags $100 of groceries fills compared to 2019. They care about whether automation or immigration will compete with their kids for the jobs in their area that haven’t gone overseas or to a lower-corporate-tax state.

The new VP candidate is perceived as someone who gets that, even if you don’t.

But she would have lost Michigan in return as so so many Muslim voters there pissed at Biden for Gaza response….

Shapiro would have caused party infighting which is sad to see a Jewish politician as controversial…

Nobody complained about Bernie Sanders being Jewish. Please don't pull this card.

Pretty close. Baby Boomers are up to 64. Gen X starts in 65.

Wikipedia might say that but those of us actually Gen X (1972) pretty much consider '69 as the starting point.

Uh, no. It’s always been 1965. —born in 70s

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!

Oh I get it. I didn't do my "birthright" trip even though I was given the opportunity. It doesn't matter what capacity he did this. If he then served in the U.S. military, then it would've probably gone a long way to mitigate this. But he didn't. The moment he has to start explaining or rationalizing what he did, he's already lost the plot. And there will be plenty of folks that will paint him as a "tool of Israel" or some other trope.
