Shapiro won’t be chosen

That's nothing compared to what Trump has done. Who's going to point the finger at him ? Republicans ? Choose him, Kamala !

Shit. Well the Arizona choice is just as great- Josh is OUT!

Shapiro's office is paying the settlement for his aide. No big deal. Shapiro didn't do anything wrong - his aide did. He's fine.

He didn’t HAVE to pay for it.

And this is worse than the GOP presidential candidate?

I don't find this very elegant, but not really a big point of consideration for the VP vetting. It's not that Shapiro did anything unethical. It sounds like standard operation from an employer point of view. Besides, it's not like this is a skeleton in the closet considering that the story is out and published for months.

A black and a Jew for a presidential ticket may be too far, even for moderates.

Oh, brother, R7.

it's called a demographic choice.

she should pick mark kelly, beto, or ask raskin to step up IMO

Beto O'Rourke is not remotely on the list, nor should he be. He can do nothing for her.

Was Joe Lieberman's Jewishness talked about as being an issue back in 2000? (Al Gore won the popular vote).

So Kelly it is, then.

how did it work out for liberman? hmmm?

Well, R14, he didn't lose because he was Jewish but because he was a goofy, right-leaning Independent. And you spelled his name wrong, Lazy.

Being Jewish should be a non-issue, but Gen Z are obsessed with Palestine and they hate Biden for being too pro-Israel. So if Shapiro is too "Zionist" for them, it won't be good.

Shapiro isn't Zionist in the least, R16.

People here seem to think the Dems should cater to every whim opinion of every fringe voter out there. It doesn't. People will fall in line knowing what the options are. The one or two lunatics in a crowd won't. They are of NO consequence. People here need to stop clutching their pearls.

How do you jumble up your word order like that, OP? Interesting.

He exemplifies the kind of guy whose looks are nothing special when they are young but which grow into handsomeness in middle age.

That strong, masculine jaw and those kissable lips make him a looker these days.

All who should be vetted are being vetted.

Yet another thread created by our resident MAGA troll.i can’t see the OP at all. He’s been quite prolific trying to steer the narrative. FF this turd and thread.

Agree, R22.

The US voted a New Yorker into office who turned out to be a criminal and who is on the ballot again. I think standard demographics considerations are pretty much out the window by now.

R24, the fact that Dump was once a New Yorker means nothing. New Yorkers themselves voted against him 90% compared to the 10% who voted for him.

R24, he could have been from any state. He was a national reality tv star and the leader of a personality cult.

R8 I'm a New Yorker. We have the great melting pot mentality where such a ticket does not phase us in the least, but we also do not assume the rest of the country would embrace a non-white and a non-Christian double bill for the presidency

Bullshit, R27.

R28 I hope I'm proven wrong, but I am also being realistic with some people's suppressed xenophobic views. Obama got elected in 2008 and 2012 with Biden as VP. That probably gave a level of comfort to some voters. But it also triggered the Tea Party, which is just a modern day version of the John Birch Society.

[quote] Was Joe Lieberman's Jewishness talked about as being an issue back in 2000? (Al Gore won the popular vote).

Yes, it was indeed. And America was much less 'conservative' and 'sensitive' about everything back then than they are today.

Whyyy do these politicians wade into this shit? Did he not consider, "This may come back to haunt me someday?".

Well, I'm pretty sure (nothing is certain) that Harris will take Pennsylvania with or without him as VP, but I don't believe that to the majority of Democrats (including black Americans, who are a massive voting bloc), the idea of a Jewish VP will mean a fucking thing.

More and more Andy Beshear becomes the perfect candidate for the job. If the only real complaint is that he's a little dull, just think of it as a plus.

I think he's the best option as VP.
