Shapiro is a stupid airhead diversity hire who slept his way to the top?
He is also to have been up to his eyeballs in a coverup for a high ranking staffer but let’s be honest it’s because they where terrified of losing Michigan and they definitely would have if she took him.
The notion that a single voter would be troubled by the fact that they had both been a state AG is just stupid. Maybe he was overbearing, but also maybe that’s just code for he was more driven and dynamic than Kamala. I don’t know, but both are possible and that they would lie about the AG thing makes the source unreliable. Likewise the notion that his being Jewish had absolutely nothing to do with it. Given the lunatics the left has to play to, it would have been political malpractice not to take it into account
“The campaign said Shapiro’s faith was not a factor.” Of course. What else could they say? “No, we don’t want a Jew on the ticket?” Fat chance of that ever being said (out loud).
Naw, it was the poor chemistry between the two all the time. Shapiro is Jewish, and Kamala is an inveterate anti-Semite, just like the Republicans read the situation.
Besides, Shapiro is WAY more intelligent than Kamala, and that is always a bad situation for any potential occupant of the Oval Office to find themselves in. Kamala was chosen in the first place because in many ways she made Joe Biden look sort of smart. And that was a pretty low bar to begin with.
And Walz made Harris look smart. Hard to imagine who Walz would pick to make him look smart.
‘Would a certain faction of the party have gone crazy?’
I believe so, yes.
AOL? Crockett? Mazie Hirono?
She's married to a Jew and she can reject Shapiro for being a Jew.
Doug Emhoff does not see himself as Jewish and he did not raise his children in the faith.
I firmly believe Shapiro torpedoed himself. He didn’t want to be her running mate. He knew she was going to lose, and take him down with her. Hence the ‘poor chemistry’, or whatever it is they said. He would have helped Harris here in PA, but I doubt it would have made the difference. Trump is very popular around here.
Only one unsuccessful VP candidate has ever gone on to be elected President—FDR.
Was Emhoff’s first wife Jewish?
Good one.
That's the truth. Thank God. The race might have been closer if Shapiro has been running.
He is certainly more articulate; and if possible for a democrat, a little less hateful.
I fail to see why it has to be Shapiro making Kamala look stupid, or him being Jewish. Both could very easily be factors.
I think a large percentage of the Jewish community will in the medium term future need to decide where they are Leftists or Jews. Thus they will need to either repudiate their Judaism to remain Leftist in god standing or (re)study the Talmud and learn that leftism is not Judaism.
If they are willing to drop the leftism the Republican party will happily accept them. The pre-1980 Republican party was still majority WASP and they happily accepted the heavily Jewish and Catholic Neo-conservatives who decided there was no place in the Dem party for anti-Soviet Liberals.
How can that be? She is married to a Jew and her stepchildren call her a Yiddish nickname.
