RedDick will be giving us his reaction to the selection of Walz right after they tell him what it should be.

Im not sold on JDVance yet as a long term asset to the GOP and his fledgling Veep candidacy certainly has been up and down.

But I wonder if Harris and her head scratching vetting of VP choices may fall flat, politically.
It seems an awful mistake to have one she passed over be labeled as TOO JEWISH.

Damn. I had "fake midwesterner" in the pool. That the Presidential candidate is married to a Jew made me discount the "Dems are antisemitic" option. Of course, our second gentleman is a "crappy Jew", so...

Guess you do not  read much.


POLITICO PASSOVER: Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro made it to the final round of the Democratic Party veepstakes, only to lose the abbreviated contest to his Minnesota counterpart, Tim Walz, this morning.

Shapiro would have brought a high approval rating in a pivotal swing state to Kamala Harris. ticket, but he was not without controversy
Pro-Palestinian progressives raised concerns about his staunch defense on Israel as its war with Hamas continues.

They are celebrating Harris pick today, while Shapiro Democratic defenders are aligned with Republicans in criticizing it and raising the specter he was rejected because he is an observant Jew.

As Jewish Democrats, it is tough to wrap our heads around the idea that everyone thought Shapiro was the strongest pick and he lost out, David Greenfield, who leads the nonprofit Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, told Playbook.

There was an unprecedented campaign against him by the far left, including many who are not even Democrats, to smear him because he is an observant Jew. It is on Harris   Walz to make it clear that was not the case,  added Greenfield, a Democratic player in New York

Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, another Democrat, offered similar frustrations about Shapiro treatment while applauding the Walz pick.

 The daggers came out for him, in a way that I think is incredibly unfair, and that is explainable only by his Jewish identity Levine said. His  positions on Israel are not meaningfully different from any of the other major contenders, including Governor Walz The attacks on Governor Shapiro I found to be profoundly unfair, and I think if he were not a Jewish elected official, he would not have been such a target.

Gave a challenge to Vance IF He CAN GET OFF THE COUCH!

Walz has a much better position than Shapiro on school vouchers. Also the ticket needed a soldier, teacher, and coach more than a lawyer. Walz has a strong LG in place to continue the work when he moves up.

Exactly!

I think this ticket will expand and excite the electorate.

POLITICO PASSOVER...

More a text dump, than you citing any reasoned case.   Enjoy pretending you have some porthole to peer into the inner workings of the Harris campaign. 

They didn't pick Kelly, either.  Are you going to also tell us next about anti spaceman Leftists who raised concerns Kelly would be too supportive of Martian territorial grabs?

Facility had a good analysis of why Walz was just the best option.

And I've spent time in Walzs childhood places, Valentine and Chadron Nebraska - those are places that make him uniquely suited to talk to Main Street.

Republicans are getting louder and louder in their moaning about trump constantly shitting the bed. On the other hand, they feel better about it than about what JD has been doing to the couch.
