The exact opposite of the very definition of a command Sergeant Major Love this pick and wish he could debate the bastard ( love that statement about the bastard having to wake up knowing a black women kicked his ass lol ) I'm very eager to see the VP debates. Vance leaned heavily into his 'veteran ' status (6 months service in the press corps arm of the marines) and here we have an NCO who can run circles around him. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertKBD Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 27 minutes ago, DSVII said: Even if true, which I doubt, this is less egregious than the Republicans plan to having loyalists in each state that will refuse to certify the votes. Not to mention the lawsuits they are already cynically preparing to contest the swing states even before a ballot is cast. Dems had already conceded before and Trump pulled Jan 6 in response to his loss. There is no equivalence here. The Republicans are doing this not only more frequently but in greater magnitude and are actively eroding the democratic institutions for their win. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/election-deniers-refuse-certify-chaos-2024-1234988747/ I share your doubts.... If you look at other Amuse X content, it's all MAGA garbage....including a purported "open letter" from Tim Walz' fellow servicemen, in which his is referred to a "Traitorous, Fraudluent and Shameful".... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wlaz is only 6 months older than Harris, due to white hair I guess. I might add that he also has legislative experience too, serving many yrs as House Congressman. He hunts and fishes. Also had two kids using IVF help. So he's very pro reproductive rights. I like Shapiro too. Maybe the vetting showed more trouble and good. That rumor of him not handling his aid's sexual harassment claim well etc. I don't know anymore, but I'm sure the vetting process dug up a lot of skeletons in the closet.

The Duke Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Walz is a fabulous pick. He hits all the “tough” notes as an outdoorsy guy, military, state champ football coach but he’s also clearly open minded and empathetic. Background in education is a plus. It wouldn’t surprise me if his political history is more left-leaning than Kamala’s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn’t surprise me if his political history is more left-leaning than Kamala’s. He attacks with a smile. Doesn't look angry when he's on the offensive. Media is saying Shapiro, Walz and Harris will be all speaking at a rally tonight in Philly. Will be interesting in seeing how Shapiro presents Walz. One pundit's take is that Harris doesn't need to look over her shoulder with Walz, vs someone like Pete or Shapiro who are more likely to run for President in 4-8 yrs. They might try to outshine her or not as likely to do tasks that have very little benefit to their future run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrefan1 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 (edited) 1 hour ago, Bob Long said: Everyone knows trump just blasts out any stream of consciousness crap that occurs to him. I don't think it works anymore. He sounds like a great pick, but most of us see this through the Canadian lens, curious what @Sabrefan1 thinks. I guess the rumours of Shapiro having too much baggage were true. She was likely going to win Minnesota anyways. Walz is a safe and solid pick. It keeps her momentum going and is a very good counter to the only thing Vance really still has going for himself, his military career.

I think that's what sunk Shapiro was well........that wasn't going to play well with women and it's hard to hammer Trump with that point when it applies to you as well.

He won't rock the boat because most governors want to eventually try and become president. The Democrats won't back him if he causes problems. Walz is by no means a perfect candidate, but he plays well to their "progressive" base with his policies and could motivate them to go vote, especially the ones who are angry about Israel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He changed their state flag to one that inexplicably resembled a flag from a country in Africa and put tampons in boys bathrooms at schools and was reluctant to take drastic measures to stop rioting a while back. That's fairly "progressive" policies. The Democratic base will love him. Definitely not really middle of the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
