Shapiro is Obama’s guy. He was first to support him in PA in 2008 when all other Dems were still gravitating towards Hillary. Obama didn’t forget the gesture and they’ve remained close since. The similarities in speaking style are a bit too close for comfort though.

He also has both children by IVF, which is very important in current times.
He’s the common sense Everyman.
Where do you live? Your takes are spectacularly wide of the mark.
Kelly has more power and influence where he is.
I think this was important, snuff out any rearguard action from the erstwhile supporters of the left. Don’t give them the chance to hold the party hostage.
Dubya famously was relatable, and tbh is shores up any perceived good was on Harris’ part.
Agree, a non-argument best left to Reddit.
Well said! Thoughts and prayers sent.
He is the Midwest, he’s normal.Shouldn't really stoop to this, but I would argue strongly against this
Been reading up on Walz and watching some interviews. I think he seems like a solid pick - seems very likable and doesn't have the perceived baggage of Shapiro.
Every time I read something like this I am at first convinced it’s made up and then I realize it’s Trump.
I think the chances are Zero.
What a weird thing to say!!!
And putting HUSSAIN in caps. The guy is an utter racist.
Shapiro is taking it well, at least.
He does. He’s firing the crowd well.
This is the first moment that I feel truly energized about this election.
Also, could they just move the convention from Chicago to Philadelphia?
Shaprio is a hell of a hype man
Take a shot everytime he says ‘freedom’
He is alright on the mic; kind of an Obama-lite. Not as naturally gifted, hams it up a bit but guess that works for American audiences.
Done. Let me go grab the bottle. It's my b-day tomorrow and this fecking hurricane has canceled my traditional golf round with my dad. Bottoms up!Take a shot everytime he says ‘freedom’

Meh, at least it wasn't "now let me be clear".
Happy birthday tomorrow!
You should treat yourself & your better half to a dinner at the Fearrington House as a celebration. Once I get settled at my new place, eating there is on my list of things to do.
And your first thought was correct
Have a nice glass of Rose wine.
Whiskey my good man, good American whiskey.... from Alabama..... no, seriously, it fantastic.Bottle of…..?
Something cask strength maybe
I love American whiskey, enjoy in good health.
I just looked - you could eat out at your favorite regular restaurant for a week with those prices!She's in France
We've looked at the menu, but the prices..... woof.

Trump having essentially swallowed the republican party, there is little room for others, their bench looks weak for the future, who will they look to, when he is gone?
Dems have a stronger bench, by far, at the moment.

What's the name of it?
'TamponTim' is now trending on Twitter.
True.... but cal knows good food so I trust him. He's the only person in this place, and probably in NC/GA who knows who Stitt and Hastings are.
We apparently live in a universe where Tim Walz is younger than Brad Pitt.

Would be a shame if him getting increasingly worked up would have an adverse effect on his health. To quote Palpatine - "Good, let the hate flow through you"
Providing free tampons in schools is a bad thing now? Oh well, they can continue being creeps, i suppose.
You thought Kamala Harris was so unpresidential she wasn’t even suitable to be Joe Biden’s running mate. Lots of others would agree she is not “presidential”.
Mike Pence was plainly not “presidential”. Joe Biden took 3 attempts and 32 years to convince his own party he was “presidential” enough to win.
Before that you had Dick Cheney, Al Gore and Dan Quayle, and that takes us through the 90s. Do you seriously think the majority of them fit the bill for being “presidential”?
Vice presidents are famously irrelevant. The last two were absolute ghosts in the administration. It seems like you want to indulge the vacuous thought while blaming it on some imaginary US criteria that rarely applies.
Opelika, home of two of the Robert Trent Jones courses.
Did you buy it in NC? That's something I would want in my program.
Nope, had to get my FiL to get it for me in Athens.
Looks like the have multiple spots in Savanah that carry it.

Kamala Harris is the perfect example of a person who goes up the ladder step by step: District Attorney, General Attorney, Senator, Vice President… and maybe President.
Gotta shore up that incel vote.
I'm pretty far away from all this, but that's my impression as well. Walz sounds like a normal dude when he's talking, while Shapiro always has this rhetorical style and word salad thing going on that they seem to teach at US universities. (Or at least, I've never heard it done quite as 'well' as by US academics.) I don't know how those things appeal to common voters, but Walz's appearance definitely appeals more to me.
So glad I will be able to cast my vote for Stein.
