Walz seems like a good pick to me. Shapiro carried a lot of baggage that Walz doesnāt have and wasnāt a candidate who people would have warmed to. In my view he would have been a very unpopular running mate. Shapiro would have been a āheās not Vance and heās not Trumpā pick. There was nothing exciting to make you want to vote for him and he would become the pro-genocide running mate.
Walz is popular with the progressive base Democrats need to turn out in their droves and seems like an āIād like to go for a beer with himā type. His actual politics is solid progressive. Heās from Nebraska and represented rural Minnesota. Heās a pick that will increase enthusiasm.
Iāve seen it said that the same commentators who said Biden should not drop out when it was obvious he had to go are the same people who wanted Shapiro, and I think thatās accurate.
A good pick it seems. He comes across well in the videos he posts. His debate with Vance could be box office. With the dems loving elevating a VEEP to president, heād be 76 when stepping down if Kamala was a two term president and he was a two term president which isnāt that mental an idea if the GOP implodesā¦and heād still be younger than Trump is now at that point.
They didnāt love it so much when they went for Hillary instead of Biden which kinda has us in this MAGA headbanger, fake news, drain the swamp cycle for so long now.
Harris record in office is actually shocking, particularly the issue on the southern border not improving since she took the reins 3 years ago.
She is supposedly very lazy. A bit like the Don
