Members DRW50 Posted July 27, 2024 Members Share Posted July 27, 2024 I don't think any of the three are great choices but of them I would go with Walz. I have a feeling it will be Kelly. I am sadly not surprised at how many who claim to hate Trump have bent over backwards trying to defend and downplay his comment. People have spent a decade explaining and downplaying every fascist word out of his mouth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted July 28, 2024 Members Share Posted July 28, 2024 (edited) From that notus.org article, it seems that Walz would fit what she's looking for. I like Kelly more but I get that Walz has more experience. Edited July 28, 2024 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted July 28, 2024 Members Share Posted July 28, 2024 He's a good guy, but I don't think Walz is photogenic or young enough. I think Kelly is solid enough, but I'd prefer Shapiro or Beshear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted July 28, 2024 Members Share Posted July 28, 2024 To me, it's just sad that the political climate in this country has become so toxic that we can't even entertain the notion of Pete Buttigieg as VP right now. Maybe one day! But not today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted July 28, 2024 Members Share Posted July 28, 2024 (edited) Usha Vance was a registered Dem until marrying JD Vance, and went on to clerk for (yes) Brett Kavanaugh. Their relationship at Yale was also prodded forward by infamous "Tiger Mom" and Kavanaugh booster Amy Chua.

Members DRW50 Posted July 28, 2024 Members Share Posted July 28, 2024 (edited) I think he's done a great job as a spokesman for the party and a decent job as Transportation Secretary, but I don't think, even beyond being gay, he will ever win over voters, as he didn't do well when put in the spotlight in 2020. Kelly and Shapiro are both going to be used as excuses by many on the left or among Muslim-American voters to stay home or vote for Trump (admittedly they will always find a reason to not vote for her). Kelly was stupid to go have fun at that Netanyahu pity party. I have a feeling she will pick him because of his background but I hope not as background and actual impact on the ticket are very different. If she is choosing based on Arizona, I don't that's happening, the state is too racist. I wish she'd go with Cooper or Beshear, which seemingly isn't happening. If you pick based on trying to win a swing state, you run the risk of losing that state and losing others in the process. She's getting the usual soft sell "we can't believe she's doing this, she's so nice, we swear" puff pieces Ivanka always got. That's why the WSJ and others are trying to have the party push her out there to humanize him (what a great idea - I'm sure a deeply racist party will love her). I don't buy it. She and her husband (who every time I see him further fits the description I saw on Twitter of being a "racist Care Bear") will sacrifice anyone for power and wealth. I hope she enjoys her 5 minutes of fame before he has her hide in the corner for the rest of his career. If she's lucky he won't sic Thiel on her. Maybe she can go work for Hulk Hogan. I'm sure he'd love her. He is especially odious as he stabbed a trans friend in the back. At least that friend has enough integrity to not go around running interference for him the way I see another "liberal" friend of his is doing now with the New York Post. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/27/us/politics/jd-vance-friend-transgender.html That Megyn Kelly interview is amazing in that someone actually thought it was a smart PR move. A Bobblehead choking on her own bitterness and rejection while being shot through cement, struggling to tolerate a conversation with a deeply sour, deeply jaundiced husk whose soul is as dark as his badly tattooed eyeshadow.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 28, 2024 Members Share Posted July 28, 2024 Lo and behold, a NYT article that actually provides some insight into the leadership and diplomatic style of VP Harris, from the lips of foreign leaders, diplomats and activists.

Members Liberty City Posted July 28, 2024 Members Share Posted July 28, 2024 Sir that's not the quote you think it is... and Megyn Kelly looks like shït and like she'd rather be anywhere else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted July 28, 2024 Members Share Posted July 28, 2024 Note the dates of each poll (since last Sunday) and the dramatic shifts from Biden's polling against Trump to Harris. As I've said, Harris is gaining fast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
