Donald Trump fired off an angry middle-of-the-night attack on “highly overrated Jewish Governor” Josh Shapiro after he spoke out against the former president at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night.

    trump really wanted Kamala to pick this guy as VP, it’s why it’s not the first time he’s brought Shapiro up and why he even knows his name.

      Shapiro would have given him so much material to work with. He would have called him a classic coastal elite, uppity lawyer, dyed-in-the-wool career politician. He would have called him an Obama impersonator.

      Walz is giving him no angles of attack, it’s really an inspired pick.

        Walz is giving him no angles of attack, it’s really an inspired pick.

        But it’s the type of politicians the Dem party should always be running…

        Kamala is doing a lot better than Biden, but someone like Walz would be doing the Super Bowl Shuffle all the way to the White House without breaking a sweat.

        He’s the type of candidate our voters want, and how he went from completely unknown to ridiculously popular in like a month just shows that the “name recognition” stuff was always bullshit.

        Walz isnt unique. He’s great, but there’s lots of politicians out there like him. It’s just almost impossible for them to get to the national stage when the DNC, media, billionaires, and lobbists like AIPAC want neoliberals.

          Exactly. No one voted for Kamala. People didn’t vote for Biden, they voted against Trump. Hilary won the primary because Warren split the progressive vote and wouldn’t drop out.

          Dems haven’t put forward a truly clean and charismatic leader since Obama.

            Warren ran in 2020. Hillary won in 2016 because of superdelegate bullshit creating an air of inevitable victory before a single vote had been cast and the DNC actively working to suppress the Sanders campaign through smear tactics and a severely limited debate schedule.
