24. He has a DUI 30 years ago and has stopped drinking since so I think people can relate to that.

No one was hurt. He has never scrubbed it from his history and is no issue at this point. The judge threw out charges and chastised the officer for not realizing Walz was deaf in one ear.

Unless you go to right wing Trump sites like Alpha News you can find the actual information in a number of places.

I think most people forgive him for that mistake while they celebrate his more than 30 years of service to working people, families, children.

I didn't realize it was up to rueters to decide that. Think. Again. Aug 2024 #7

They're deciding nothing Zoomie1986 Aug 2024 #42

Uh-huh. Think. Again. Aug 2024 #44

Both good choices and I'm honestly torn democrattotheend Aug 2024 #8

Whoever she chooses will be great... Bettie Aug 2024 #9

All day keep hearing from Scarborough, Chris Christie and Bill Kristol in support of Shapiro. Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #10

That Bill Kristol is picking Shapiro is a giant clue to run away Zoomie1986 Aug 2024 #43

Run Forrest Run! Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #46

That's my 1st and 2nd choice! TheFarseer Aug 2024 #12

If that's true, then I prefer Walz if Pete is out of consideration. LuvLoogie Aug 2024 #13

Feisty, funny, and very smart. yorkster Aug 2024 #19

But one who could make it palatable and moonscape Aug 2024 #45

I don't think citing a right wing site like Alpha News is actually giving you the correct information. Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #33

That wouldn't matter claudette Aug 2024 #56

And it's a teaching lesson. He stopped drinking. Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #61

Either would be good. iemanja Aug 2024 #18

This household (2) prefers Walz, Shapiro has some unpopular Israel stances, perhaps? Brainfodder Aug 2024 #20

Does Harris personally know Walz? liberalmediaaddict Aug 2024 #21

Don't know about Harris but Shapiro and Walz are popular with Biden. He thinks Walz is a blast. Nanjeanne Aug 2024 #34

I'll be shocked if she picks Shapiro Zoomie1986 Aug 2024 #47

If this election is truly about passing the torch then Waltz is too old, but I assume is was only lip service krawhitham Aug 2024 #22

Waltz is just a few months older then Kamala Kaleva Aug 2024 #25

Yeah, I know. And 68 is too old to run for POTUS krawhitham Aug 2024 #71

Has he declared his intentions? Kaleva Aug 2024 #75

Walz just looks old liberalmediaaddict Aug 2024 #36

Are you calling bald people old? Hell I started going Emile Aug 2024 #59

No I'm calling 68 too old to run for POTUS. Having two boomers on the ticket does not feel like passing the torch krawhitham Aug 2024 #72

LOL, 68 is young. Emile Aug 2024 #74

Walz is the same age as Harris n/t kcr Aug 2024 #40

Add two 4 year terms. 68 is too old to run for POTUS krawhitham Aug 2024 #73

WTF Zoomie1986 Aug 2024 #48

I'd prefer Walz but will be OK if it's Shapiro or one of the other top picks, all of whom are highplainsdem Aug 2024 #23

I'm fine with whoever Kamala picks Kaleva Aug 2024 #26

me too Celerity Aug 2024 #64

I would support either of them but am pulling for Shapiro. OLDMDDEM Aug 2024 #27

Excellent point liberalmediaaddict Aug 2024 #37

Funny. The Rs for Harris seem to love him Zoomie1986 Aug 2024 #49

Yep, I witnessed their enthusiasm this morning on Morning Joe. Emile Aug 2024 #57

Because they want to win Sugarcoated Aug 2024 #63

I never would look to Republicans for their political views! Emile Aug 2024 #65

They know what it takes to win Sugarcoated Aug 2024 #66

How did Joe Biden and Kamala win? They had Emile Aug 2024 #68

Not from what I've seen kcr Aug 2024 #62
