I was sure it was going to be Josh Shapiro, maybe Fetterman tanked it for him at the end.

Oh well, let the conspiracy theories begin.

I think Fetterman tanked it, along with some other Philadelphia politicians. 

I don’t know anything about Walz, so looking forward to learning

..." Who is Gov. Tim Walz?

Walz, 60, has been the governor of Minnesota since 2019 and is the current chair of the Democratic governors' national campaign effort.

More mainstream attention turned to Walz over the last few weeks after he was the first Democrat to call some Republicans "weird" — a term that's been repeated by other Democrats since, including by Harris's campaign.

Walz has legalized recreational marijuana for adults, supported abortion rights and LGBTQ protections, provided free breakfast and lunch for schoolchildren throughout Minnesota and signed an executive order to remove college degree requirements for 75% of state jobs.

A major point of appeal for the Harris campaign to choose Walz is his Midwestern background. Former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, have also spent the last few weeks working to win over and flip Minnesota — a state no Republican nominee has won in the past 50 years. "....

I thought about making a bet myself. I knew she would drop him the second it became public, just to avoid looking incompetent like she has loose lips.

I lost money 2020, so I learned my lesson. Vote AGAINST anyone who is not part of the perpetuation of the deep state, especially on the Democrat side.

I have won every bet so far except the one on Kamala dropping out. If Kamala stays in, they will have to find a way to remove both Trump and Musk and/or start a nuclear war using Iran as a proxy.

The deep state has been wanting to invade Iran for a while. I think Trump does see some conspiracy there but underestimates it and could fall for it. They are desperately trying to attach the assassin attempt to Iran to get Trump fired up about that situation as well. 

There is a difference between what is released publicly and the NSA briefings that Trump us still a part of, and I have no doubt the briefings are tailored to make it look like Iran definitely got close to killing him, meanwhile distracting him from the fact the government saw it coming and left him unprotected. A similar situation to the government allowing the Pearl Harbor attack which was easily avoidable.

Welcome to the race, Tim Walz! Let’s make sure America knows who you are.

You helped ignite the George Floyd riots, the worst the country had seen in decades. While Minneapolis burned, you stalled on deploying the National Guard for an entire day, blaming the city for not submitting the right paperwork. You let your daughter leak the Guard's deployment plans online, so that rioters would know how long they had to loot the city with impunity. Minneapolis is a war zone because of you. Just days after the attempted murder of Donald Trump, you called him and his supporters "fascists," egging on the same rhetoric that led to him being shot in the first place. You have overseen some of the most radical youth trans surgery laws in the country. Under your leadership teenagers can get their breast chopped off and get sterilized, and your government calls it “healthcare. ”You have the most radical abortion laws in the country. Zero limits. Every year 5-6 babies are BORN ALIVE and then murdered “legally” under laws you support. On immigration, you famously said you wanted to provide a “ladder” so invaders can come over Trump’s wall. You are a radical open border zealot. You oversaw the single worst fraud of the Covid era, the Feeding Our Future case. Thanks to ineptitude at your Department of Education, criminals stole $250 million of taxpayer dollars to spend on luxury cars, houses, and vacations. Also during Covid, you approved $500 million in "hero pay" for frontline workers, only to have 40% of that money go to people who were ineligible or, in many cases, literally deceased. In the House, you were Pelosi’s sidekick and did whatever the Democrats demanded. You will try and disguise yourself as a folksy midwestern moderate. In reality, you are a white male version of Kamala Harris. Radical. Inept. Undeserving to be in leadership.

Biden won by 7 million votes in 2020 and I think Kamala will win by 10 million in 2024. I'm posting this for the reviewers 100 years from now.

The statement sent to the media from Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

“From proposing his own carbon-free agenda, to suggesting stricter emission standards for gas-powered cars, and embracing policies to allow convicted felons to vote, Walz is obsessed with spreading California’s dangerously liberal agenda,” Leavitt’s statement said.

They don't approve of him because he allowed convicted felons to participate in our electoral process.  Somebody should tell Ms. Leavitt that her candidate has 42 felony convictions, so maybe arguing that Trump should not be allowed to participate in this election isn't the best strategy for the campaign.

I guess the Trump campaign is also "obsessed with spreading California’s dangerously liberal agenda" LOL.

The stupidity of MAGA is just remarkable.

Go it, go live on skidrow and see how safe blue areas are. Thats what you are looking to bring on a national scale instead of keeping it in California. Part of me hopes you guys succeed, so you have to live in a 3rd world shithole that America will become. I get the feeling you are so retarded though, that even when those evil policies effect you on a personal level, you would still stupidly reason that the leftist policies did not go far enough and that is why America is now Venezuela

If you get convicted, the problem is you. If Trump gets convicted, the problem is the system.

If great job numbers come out for someone else, it's fake news. If they come out for Trump, then to quote his press secretary: "they're very real now".

If the stock market is up while Trump is in office, it means he's doing an amazing job. If they're up under Biden, it means people are excited because Trump is coming back.

If Trump wins the election, the American people have spoken. If he loses, it was obviously rigged.

Hmm, I'm starting to see a pattern. It must be just me, surely the genius MAGA base would see it too if there was something to it.

My understanding is that Shapiro has too much baggage and too big an ego/ambition. He is apparently staunchly pro-Israel, and therefore pro genocide. I'm pleasantly surprised by Kamala's choice.

After the results of the 2020 United States presidential election determined U.S. president Donald Trump had lost, a scheme was devised by him, his associates and Republican Party officials in seven states to subvert the election by creating and submitting fraudulent certificates of ascertainment to falsely claim Trump had won the electoral college vote in those states. The intent of the scheme was to pass the fraudulent certificates to then-vice president Mike Pence in the hope he would count them, rather than the authentic certificates, and thus overturn Joe Biden's victory
No other president has done this in the history of the USA.

USA has already become far worse to live in than any developed country, but all developed countries are mostly leftist. The idea of small government has very much died everywhere.

You sound terrified, and you forgot that he thinks felons should be allowed participate in elections.

As a Michigander I can tell you Michigan isn't going to be made blue by Harris's VP pick, it was already made blue by Trump's VP pick. Walz may help with Wisconsin though.

I think we can count on Trump/Vance to turn them all blue.

The best thing about Kamala is she isn't Trump, the best thing about Walz is he isn't Vance.  

I think the more exposure Trump and Vance get, the more the Trump campaign goes into a death spiral for the next three months.

Not true. Those are good things and back when Biden was running that was one of the best things about him but with Harris/Walz that's over now and we can finally do better.
