#politics For all those bummed that Shapiro wasn’t tapped for VP - and we don’t know what went on in Harris’s interview - consider these things:
1. Put aside he’s a Jew, invoking an anti-Semitic element, Israel is controversial now, and do we want him having to explain his stance regarding that?
2. He basically has the same resume as Harris. No diversity there.
3. He’s only 51 and sure to have higher political ambitions.

@johnldeboer shapiro gave a great speech last night at the Rally But his sex harrassment lawsuit made him unsuitable especially since he paid the person off..
Tim Walz has no baggage and was so happy and invigorating last night
This pair can do it take down the Trump hate fest
@catlynne333 I didn’t know that about Shapiro. But I heard Walz had a DUI about twenty years ago, so there’s a wee bit of baggage. Though it didn’t hurt Dubya.
@johnldeboer this was recent
@catlynne333 Yeah, that could have hurt him, especially when the team wants to hit Trump for sexual misconduct.
@johnldeboer Loved his speech though he has charisma
@catlynne333 He does. And so does Walz, who comes off as an authentic person. And he’ll be Harris’s pit bull during the campaign, a preview that was glimpsed last night.
@johnldeboer Yeah i was shocked at how much gusto he has and is not afraid of zingers at trump vance which is what we need I felt Biden was too polite and it really made me angry
