Geez you guys are desperately searching for any hair to split. Getting almost hilarious watching you pick up any poo to toss and see if it'll stick. As if it could ever measure the Felonious 45's convictions of RAPIST and FELON.
Ivanka trump is about the only person they could have nominated that Beaker and the assorted minions would be happy with. Even then they would say it was just because she was a woman.
DAY 18: Kamala hasn't done a single interview or a single press conference since she forced Biden off the ticket.
AG @AGHamilton29: Harris skipped the primary process. She was installed as the nominee by a few powerful people within the Democratic Party. Since then, she has refused to do interviews or answer any questions. You donât need to be a Trump supporter to believe thatâs wrong & bad for the country.

Someone I know *completely* lost it because AOC supports the choice of Walz - "That's all you need to know," he said. Um, what - that AOC isn't being divisive? Okay, sounds good to me.

Walz is not that well known and Trump and his campaign will try to define him negatively as a radical socialist. I think they will have trouble doing that. He is a former teacher and football coach, a hunter and fisherman, and he served in the Army National Guard. It is very early, but I think he comes off as straight forward and folksy but tough. I caught part of his rally speech earlier and he knows how to campaign and how to deliver lines. He seems genuine. Again, early, but I think that Midwestern vibe will help in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. He also has experience: 12 years in Congress and two terms as a governor, experience Vance lacks.
I think he provides good balance to Harris. It may prove to be a good choice.

I thought the Dems should have an open convention... they anointed Harris.
I thought she should pick Shapiro... she didn't
I'm beginning to think I was wrong.
Walz is an interesting political animal. He has every service and community box checked, seems good on his feet, and has a sense of humor. The Vance "get up off the couch to debate" joke was very clever.
The polls now have Harris nudging ahead. I think she's going to get a bump from this week, and then a strong convention with serious people will kick things up again. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump is several points down on the national polling by September 1, with several of the swing states still very tight.
I never really like Kamala in 2020, but she and Walz bring an energy to the POTUS discussion that hasn't really existed since Obama (who I didn't vote for). The Dem energy is from middle-aged, intelligent, personable folks who believe things aren't bad, but they could be better. It's a perspective, and the "this place sucks and is going down the toilet" fear mongering just doesn't align with the experiences of most Americans. Yes, prices are high. Crime is always a problem. Immigration needs reform. The government is inefficient and the debt is too high... but we need to fix these things...not destroy them and see if we can find something better once everything is gone.
The Trump grievance and conspiracy tour is tired. He's gone from the younger candidate to very old, in 5 weeks. His VP choice was an absolute gift to the left.
Walz made a comment about Harris that was true for the 12,000 people in the audience... they was a sense of joy and excitement that hasn't been around for about 12 years. It was oddly comforting to hear 3 people (including Shapiro) give motivational speeches about what's possible... not about what went wrong and who's to blame.
Last thought... if there was ever proof that the campaign process is too long, it's this year. The beneficiaries of the spending (TV, printers, hotels, convention halls, restaurants in Iowa) all want running for President to be a full time job. It's a complete waste of time.
If I were a cynical SOB, I might wonder if the Shapiro balloon was floated as a way to say "seriously considering a Jewish running mate" even though he may have never been the first choice.
Given the state of politics these days, I'd say being cynical should be the default posture.
From what I'm reading, she was set on Shapiro long ago, while Hillary's pick was Walz. Then Fetterman 2.0 came along and expressed his own experience with Shapiro - that he's too conservative. (!) And always a self-promoter. Oh - and that Shapiro was pro-Israel was not playing well with many Dems either. No sense out there that the leaked vid was a deliberate misdirection.
Someone's attempting to high-five mosquitos here... and channel Nostradamus.
