How TF does a member of *any foreign military get anywhere NEAR the oval office?
Because there are many people who do not consider Israel actually to be a "foreign country," that's why. Such people may love Israel as much as they do the United States, perhaps even more so.
Some of those people, you might have noticed, post to this forum.
Shapiro won the governor race after 6 yrs as state AG. He won by 15%. The GOP ran Mastriano, with nearly no primary opposition. He had no fundraising history or skills.
Shapiro got the Dem nomination with nearly no primary opposition and when this was seen, GOP contenders disappeared. McCormick and others said no.
Wiki lists nearly any Republican as far right so that doesn’t matter for Mastriano. He looks like he was 30-some years as a military officer. Generally a good thing from a Swamp perspective, but when facing disinterest from donors and not knowing anyone or having anyone on staff who knew anyone (meaning donors).
Regardless, this 15% win from Shapiro doesn’t look all that scary. He’s been governor only 2 yrs. Picking him for VP does not award PA to Harris, and it does not award Michigan to Trump. Point being, the 15% win does not bespeak some deep, powerful understanding of Pennsylvania politics. He was AG for 6 years before 2022.
