Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed presidential bid has political strategists second guessing many of her campaign choices, including her selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.
"The choice of Walz was only one of many disastrous mistakes but symptomatic of one larger problem — the Democratic Party leadership is too scared to say no to the hard-left progressive wing of the party," Julian Epstein, longtime Democratic operative and former chief counsel to the House Judiciary Committee, told Fox News Digital.
"This hard left opposes commonsense solutions that [Pennsylvania] Gov. [Josh] Shapiro supports — charter schools, for example. Or defeating terrorists rather than aping their talking points and positions, which allow them to stay in power and rearm for the next genocidal attack," Epstein continued. "It’s the hard-left progressive wing that looks first to welfare and redistribution rather than economic growth, and to cultural extremism on migration and gender deeply out of touch with the American electorate. Walz was a really bad choice for sure, but their choice was part of a deeper problem."
Rob Bluey, president and executive editor of The Daily Signal, told Fox News Digital that Walz being added to the ticket was a significant error in judgment.
"Historically, vice presidents have little impact on a presidential candidate’s fate," Bluey said.

He continued the thought that Hillary was perceived as lesbian, and could have potentially been elected. And that 0bama was not perceived as gay, even though there is all that evidence he likes to swing both ways. But since he was not out gay, that doesn't count.
He thinks the first woman president will be one who is openly a lesbian and that a straight woman can't win, no matter the party. He also said there is no way the Rear Admiral Pete B can get elected.
And again, this is coming from a Democrat.
Maybe they should have run “doctor” Jill? LOL! More popcorn!
‘Some really smart people’ meme just sums it up perfectly. When 1917 rolled around they were named Lenin, Trotsky and their cohort. Nothing has changed since.
The Kamala campaign made a long list of mistakes. Primarily they assumed America has embraced collectivism and they could go for the takeover.
Not quite yet.
“the Democratic Party leadership is too scared to say no to the hard-left progressive wing of the party,”
They’re scared for the same reason corporation cave to leftist activists demands. It’s like having a pack of rabid pitbulls coming after you.
Or an Indian woman with a Jewish husband who beat up his girlfriend?
Well, he is, after all, only HALF-rican.
Notice how ALLLL the reasons that she lost have to do with white men. Biden, Walz, etc.
And thank God for it. If they had deceptively run from the center without purging those evil loons from their midst, many more might have voted Dem. I'm delighted that they showed their true colors.
