POLL: Who WILL Kamala Harris Choose as Her VP? Tim Walz!

[Dr. Ken]

The ego on this asshole

[p0rtia]

Good luck with that, Manchin. I'm sure alllll the delegates will treat you exactly as you deserve.

Asshat.

[Shizzle Popped]

That asshole will get booed off the stage if he shows up at the DNC.

[AndyinPA]

The re-registering should be a clue as to how he needs to get a clue. Dumb ass.

I mean, I'd love to be in the room with Madame Vice-President right now just to say "Wanna make some heads essplode? Let it float out there that Michelle Obama is in the mix for your running mate choices."

ETA: So far as I know, the former First Lady can trace her ancestry back to the 1850s in this country, so clearly, even if the Birthers come for her, she's NBC by every standard they will allow themselves to raise in public without dropping the dog-whistle and coming out and saying what they really mean. So it'd be worth it just for that.

I wouldn't put it past them to say her birthright is that she was descended from slaves and so she cannot be an American. Because slaves were not people at the time.

Didn't the Fourtheenth Amendment address that specifically?

[SuzieC]

Yes. Project 2025 wants to repeal the 14th Amendment.

[Suranis]

Well, to be fair they want to repeal all amendments after the 10th AFAIK. Basically the John Birch society agenda.

[MN-Skeptic]

Well, to be fair they want to repeal all amendments after the 10th AFAIK. Basically the John Birch society agenda.

They're not real happy with the first amendment either. Freedom of religion? Freedom of the press? They're not big fans of those concepts.

Let's not leave out the Third. I think they'd be okay with quartering soldiers in my home.

Mayor Pete is a great speaker, almost to the point of being glib. (The Bob Newhart [RIP] of politics.) But he does nothing to bring along one or more swing states. Indiana? Nope.

The best VP choice at this point is the Governor who managed the Miracle of I-95. I give you Josh Shapiro. Pennsylvanians love him. And it should help VP Harris in the rest of the Rust Belt.

Question is can they convince him? He's already said that he wants to finish out his term as Governor and do good by the people of PA. He'll need to be convinced to do what's best for the country.

I see your point and agree that Buttigieg doesn't bring the thing that is actually really crucial which is one of the swing states. Indiana is not in play for Democrats. We are behind in every single swing state that we won in 2020, so Harris does have a lot of making up to do in that area.

Brilliant follow-up from @TimAlberta: "This Is Exactly What the Trump Team Feared. A campaign optimized to beat Joe Biden must now be reinvented." They're worried about Democrats unifying & JOSH SHAPIRO or MARK KELLY as VP, putting those states in play.

Quote Tim Alberta @TimAlberta 11h
Most striking thing I heard from Trump allies yesterday was the second-guessing of JD Vance—a selection, they acknowledged, that was borne of cockiness, meant to run up margins with the base in a blowout rather than persuade swing voters in a nail-biter.

I iz a disapoint that Gretchen Whitmer has passed, I think she could have brought Michigan into the Dem column....

But who ever is her choice it needs to be made at light speed as far as I concerned, we are 3 months out, and the VP pick needs to be stumping as soon as humanly possible...

You are asking for too much. A ticket with two women NOW? The ticket needs some balance. Imma with Sterngard on PA Gov Shapiro.

Harris has Michigan.

Agreed, but it hasn't been 48 hours yet. I'm willing to give her the whole morning.

I agree that the decision needs to be made quickly, but the VP choice announcement is made at the convention.

[Dr. Ken]

[RVInit]

Great choices, and smart to make an announcement about it.
