ANTE UPPED ON SHAPIRO
POWERLINE Blog ^ | 8/3/24 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 08/03/2024 7:38:04 PM PDT by Nervous Tick

...there are indications that Josh Shapiro is shaping up as Kamala Harris’s VP choice. Notwithstanding the opposition from “progressive,” i.e. anti-Semitic, Democrats, which I noted here.

But now, in an 11th-hour development, the ante may have been upped.... now we have this:

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has had to defend his stance on Israel after an op-ed he penned more than three decades ago, in which he wrote of being an Israeli army volunteer and disparaged the Palestinian people, resurfaced. ...

“[Palestinians] are too battle-minded to be able to establish a peaceful homeland of their own,” Shapiro wrote, identifying himself as a “past volunteer in the Israeli army.” He referred to the Arab world as divided and “belligerent.”...

Shapiro has been quick to disavow his comments of 30 years ago...

One thing you can say about Democrats–their views are always evolving.

Right, eh? Correct me if I’m wrong but Jesse the body became governor. Yeah? And they root for the 4 time superbowl losing vikings? At least Wisconsin has damn good cheese!

I love my friends in MN, but they do vote for weirdos.

Wisconsin does have great cheese!

Glad to meet you. Just so you know, I’m stealing the Muslim thing at the bottom of your home page. ;-)

They don’t need Walz. Minnesota is a lock for Harris. The rats control the Mi elections. Trump would need a 10 point lead to win Mi. I still think it will be Shapiro. It will shore up the wobbly Jewish vote and be a big boost for Harris getting Pa. I think the progressive flak is a triangulation play

You make a good point about MN and Harris. It is not in play like Pennsylvania is.

Democrats don’t need Jewish votes because they are concentrated in mainly blue states. They do need the Jewish donors to continue donating. The Arab and Muslim vote is enough to swing some states if they stay home. And the mid vote is growing, while the Jewish vote is stagnant.

They do need the Jewish donors to continue donating. A lot of them in Big Tech, Liberal Media and Hollywood. So Shapiro is a good way of locking up the Jewish vote (and donors) even if it pisses off the Muslim voters in Dearborn and Minneapolis.

Well it’s written in large font, bold, so it MUST be true. LOL

Remind me how Buttplug the Chestfeeder Bottom Guy did in the 2020 primary?

Remind me about the superlative job he’s done as absentee Secy of Transpo?

He’ll get the alphabet vote, the crazy cat lady vote, and the schoolteacher vote (but I repeat myself there). The hispanic vote? no. The black church vote? Doubt it.
