If Kamala is such a good candidate why does who she picked even matter? VPs do nothing and she would have won Minnesota anyway. Picking a white man just reflects poorly on the party that it feels it needs to rely on a white guy to get her elected.

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.

Maybe because he actually served in the Israeli military?


He didn't actually serve in the Israeli military.

You wish.


Last I read, Harris has 36 field offices in PA to Trump's 3. Barring any unforced errors, it will come down to the ground game.

And this is really the problem for Trump nationwide. The RNC is a total cluster-f right now because Trump installed his own people, none of whom have the slightest idea what they're doing (Lara Trump especially). Meanwhile, he's just rambling incoherently at his ego-boost rallies and picking a VP candidate who brings absolutely nothing to the ticket.


The FEC recently changed campaign rules to allow outside groups to do the GOTV activities that used to be done by campaigns. Trump/RNC have outsourced it, funded by rich donors, I'm sure.


So here's what I'm wondering---how many of these privatized GOTV groups are just grifting---skimming huge amounts for overhead with little left for actual boots on the ground work. Not that ANY of MAGA-world would ever grift . . . .

Yes, republicans are happy with this pick. Now if it’d been Kelly it would be a different story.


Can anyone explain why didn't she pick Kelly?

Yep. Business friendly, budget surplus. I'm all in.



Well we know the GOP wants children to starve in school while staring at the 10 Commandments so they won’t be happy.

It's not something I support but among the many great things he's done, it's not enough to switch my vote to a party of anti-children, anti-women weirdos who want kids without education, food, healthcare, and who want their own wives dead from lack of access to safe reproductive healthcare.


I don't think I could ever vote for the orange and couch lad. They're just too weird.


And transitioning 6 year olds is not weird???

It's evil and child abuse.


Agreed. And yet Walz is ok with it and thinks Minnesota is a model for the rest of the country.


Not in my list of top 1000 issues, PP. But you do you. Now, when I read this:

-Universal school meals
-Stronger labor protections
-Cannabis legalization
-Stronger LGBTQ+ protections
-paid leave/sick
-80% clean energy by 2030, 100% by 2040
-protection for reproductive freedom
-$1B for housing
-gun safety
-cut child poverty 1/3

These are things I care about for average Americans.

LMAO at the sour grapes from Shapiro stans.

The guy's a standard-issue DLC-style DINO. A Wall Street pick. You might as well have supported Bloomberg for VP.

Could oyu even imagine what trump would do if a bunch of kids tried to hug him?


This is cringe as hell. Maybe this plays at your book club, but this guy is going to come off as corny to a lot of people. Harris should have went with someone tougher, and less milquetoast, like Kelly.


He seems like the best type of positive masculinity - secure, caring, strong. Not at all milquetoast.
