The strongest argument against picking Shapiro is rooted in his hardline stance against both the Gaza protests on Pennsylvania university campuses—some of which he compared to white supremacist encampments—and the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement seeking to reverse Israel’s brutal human-rights record in the Occupied Territories. In The New Republic, writer David Klion made the case that Shapiro’s elevation to the ticket would kill off much of the movement energy now marshaled behind Harris’s run.

He will not be the VP candidate.
Short summary: Democrats don’t like Jews.
(But a lot of Jews like Democrats)
Shapiro is too Jewish for the “Democratic” Party.
The Trump campaign won’t use his Gaza stance against in MN or MI and it plays well in the other states. On that issu3 from Rat perspective, net positive.

Shapiro is the smartest choice they could make. Locks up PA, doesn’t necessarily cost them Michigan at all (much less Minnethiopia) despite the feverish beliefs of some folks.
Shapiro is the smart pick, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be the chosen one. They may not even require a “smart” pick, and can settle for a bland ham sandwich on white bread (i.e. Tim Walz).
As was the case in 2020, all the Harris/whoever ticket has to do is.... nothing. Just sit back, stay in the basement, and don’t so anything SO stupid that even the 100% liberal media can’t cover it up.
If she does pick Shapiro, we win MI, WI, maybe MN.

Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Fine with me.
Shapiro is dozens of times better than Tommie ('the Commie") Wolf.
Apparently, Josh has some skeletons in his closet. And this is after the #MeToo movement. Bill Clinton and Al Gore are viewed negatively in the Democratic Party now. Sure, they can speak at the Convention for 5 minutes. But they’ll say “next” and act like they did not exist.
Picking a Jew for the Democrat VP candidate is like picking a black person for VP of the KKK.
economy is flashing warning signs of frontend of a recession. that can be a big problem for Dems, no matter whom they pick.
Too Jewish for the Hamasicrats.
Well said. Not with the SS crazies in that party today.
“economy is flashing warning signs of frontend of a recession. that can be a big problem for Dems, no matter whom they pick.”
It certainly is, and if we can get a majority of voters to vote on the ISSUES (it would help if Trump would actually campaign on the issues) then that’s a plus for the good guys.
Even if the economy does become the #1 issue in the campaign, don’t forget that the media will decide (if they must address this at all) that the economic disaster is actually Trump’s fault and Biden/Harris made a heroic effort to keep the recession from hitting sooner. What patriots!
It’s a complete lie, but then what in the ongoing media coronation of Queen Kamultto ISN’T a lie?
Yeah l sense a triangulation move here. Pa is more important than Dearborn, Mi.
Youngkin? Please. He would have been another Pence.
Anyone here suspect that Shapiro had a hand in frauding the vote in PA back in Nov 2020? If so would be karma if he’s the VP pick and loses in this Nov. election.
