Always toxic to be seen with him, for any serious politician. Srkdqltr Jul 23 #3

Why did the Senate invite him to begin with? Emile Jul 23 #4

Idiot Mikey Johnson did Traurigkeit Jul 23 #7

I am 100% certain it was the Republicans. yardwork Jul 23 #22

If Schumer & Jeffries did not want to do it, they never should have put their names to the invite. I was so disappointed Celerity Jul 23 #23

I agree with you about Netanyahu and I'm certain they didn't want him to speak, yardwork Jul 23 #24

That's bold and I think the right thing to do. honest.abe Jul 23 #10

The dishonesty here is that Senator Vance will not be there either. He is campaigning. karynnj Jul 23 #11

I guess we can rule out Shapiro for VP FBaggins Jul 23 #26

I still think he's the favorite. I dont think he'd turn down the offer either. oldsoftie Jul 23 #29

Why? Elessar Zappa Jul 23 #36

I don't think he has anything to do with Netanyahu. He's been critical of him at times FBaggins Jul 23 #37

Sorry but thats a TERRIBLE decision. Israel is our democratic ally in the ME oldsoftie Jul 23 #28
