Kamala should have picked Shapiro for veep

Well she didn't. So deal with it.

Stop it OP/Alexei.

OP = Zionist loon

I realize this will be a precision electoral college battle but think Walz generates more broad support. Win PA and lose others?

Shapiro is stumping for Harris, so there is that

The anti-Semitic left wingers would have a meltdown had Shapiro been selected.

There were stories that he gave a lackluster interview for the job and that he didn’t inspire confidence that he could be a supporting team player. And fairly or not, as r6 points out, he would have dragged the ticket down.

So they would have lost some anti Zionist votes. Who cares? Eventually those voters would have turned out for Kamala. I get why she and Hillary picked beta guys as VP. But why not pick an alpha type who can bring the red meat? Anyway, the choice was made and fingers crossed it works.

Fuck, no -- I watched Shapiro introduce Obama in Pittsburgh on YouTube, and he came off like a complete asshole. Since I never really heard him speak before, I was shocked and disappointed.

Walz was the right choice. What's not to love?

Walz come across as a little goofy. If not Shapiro, maybe she should have gone with the Arizona Senator. That’s another state she needs help with. Minnesota was never I doubt.

The way Shapiro imitates Obama in the sound and cadence of his speech is unnerving. Still, he has elevated his national profile and at just 50 he has years of rock solid Dem support ahead of him for whatever he wants to do. Walz is a good choice for VP in 2024.

Shapiro is better as a surrogate than on the ticket. He's basically a copy of her - an aggressive prosecutor from the other coast. She needed to diversify the ticket with a folksy midwesterner like Walz.

There will be a lot of time after the election to do a post-mortem, and a lot of things besides this one that were huge mistakes.

R10, Arizona Senator = too ugly

Kamala made the right choice with Walz.

R13 Such as?

[quote]Kamala made the right choice with Walz.

It's about three and a half weeks before anyone can tell if that is true or not.

I'm voting for Harris. But I can't see Walz ever stepping up to be a strong POTUS if he needs to. He seems like a hick. I can't see him interacting with world leaders as an equal.

[quote] It's about three and a half weeks before anyone can tell if that is true or not.

I highly doubt here pick for VP is going to move her to the win or lose column.

I hope Shapiro campaigns hard for the Democrats. He’s an absolute gem 💎!

Walz was a way better choice. The conspiracy freaks in the far right were already going nuts with Shapiro's supposed involvement in the Ellen Greenberg murder case + the fact that he said years ago that Palestinians were incapable of peace.

Go do some phone banking for the campaign or something useful. Trump is a fascist and we must win.

In the past 80 YEARS only THREE VPs have been promoted when something happened to the president. So the only duty a VP/VP candidate has is to be a good campaigner and compliment the top of the ticket. I never would have picked him, but Walz does the job expertly.

More people can relate to Walz than Shapiro, and I honestly think that he and Kamala make a better team.

R12 is right.

Walz was a much smarter choice. She made a wise move. Kamala is smarter than she is given credit for.

I can see Shapiro and Kamala getting into disagreements over things.

[QUOTE] Arizona Senator = too ugly

Senator Mark Kelly is not that bad, is he? Cut him some slack.

VEEP picks never help, but they can hurt. I don't think Walz is hurting the campaign and simply for the fact that he makes her seem younger and more competent

R27, that is who I always think of when I see Kelly. Always. I can't believe people were seriously telling Kamala to choose him! If this was the pre-60s, she could get away with that but, hello, we have freaking tv and the internet now!

[quote] and a lot of things besides this one that were huge mistakes.

I'm curious, too. I can't think of any huge mistakes she's made; the only mistake I've seen so far is that when she was asked and given the opportunity to distance herself from Joe on [italic]The View,[/italic] she passed. I understand why, but at the same time it is a concern for many and she could have easily used it as an opportunity to point out that they had the immense task of righting the ship after Shitler so fucked it up, explain that they spent the first two years leading us out of the pandemic and rescuing not just our economy but the worldwide economy. And she clearly does have some differences; the first-time home buyer assistance, a plan to build 3 million homes, and in particular, expansion of Medicare to cover home-based care for elders.

As a PAnian, Shapiro just got here. We'll keep him for a while thank you very much. He's got a lot of shelf life if higher office is in his future

F&F this shit and VOTE.

DON'T give reason for losing BEFORE the election Boris, Ivan and Evgeny.

More hairs on head is better!

[quote]I can't think of any huge mistakes she's made

The mistakes by the Democrats didn't start with her. The mistakes include handing Biden the nomination instead of preparing a suitable candidate for 2024.

[quote]The way Shapiro imitates Obama in the sound and cadence of his speech is unnerving

Especially as a white guy, the blaccent he incorporates makes it even more unnerving and borderline racist… he’s got to find his own style, for sure.

R31 Thank you. My question all along, if you've got a new well-liked governor who's working hard and doing good, why would you want to up and send him to DC, especially as VP? I'd suspect that could actually lose them votes.

The ONLY party to be blamed for Trump is the America voters!

What on earth makes them so compelled by this moronic, criminal rapist asshole Trump! If America cannot value itself, it is ridiculous to blame anyone else!

[Quote] The left wingers not in the ziono cult would have a meltdown had Shapiro been selected.

FTFY and…no we wouldn’t have.

r36, totally.

R35 It’s fkin hot. I want him to cum in my mouth with him talking like that.

Serious question R40: are you Josh Shapiro?

[quote]It looks like it could go red.

That’s why it’s a swing state. It could go either way. It went blue in 2012, red in 2016, and blue in 2020.

I hope not R41. I don't like to think I've got Shapiro on block.

R16 the “English” alone is so bad that it’s a troll giveaway.

r324, go the fuck away and look how much Carter enjoyed winning the nomination from debauched Teddy Kennedy.

Also, what ever happened to his bone cancer, amputee son?

R45 can see INTO THE FUTURE

Shapiro is an extremist who should move to Israel. That’s his most pressing issue. He’s a corrupt phony asshole.

I'm surprised we haven't seen more of Stephanie Gresham. Wasn't she at the convention? She's got all the deep deep dirt on Trump, and Melania as well.

OP is also:

*I'm not voting.*

[quote]If it comes down to one vote blame me.

r34 is also:

*I am afraid Trump might win*

[quote]Is that even possible for a devout MSNBC viewer to admit that MSNBC is the Fox News of the Left? They would be like a unicorn, right?
