In reply to the discussion: Reuters: VP choice down to Walz or Shapiro [View all]Tadpole Raisin
(1,561 posts)30. And he is so well liked by his former congressional buddies
on both sides of the aisle that his presence could really benefit a Harris administration in getting bills passed.
That was the key that allowed Biden to get more done than people thought possible.
Relationships!! One of the most important things we have lost over the years. Congress doesnt have a Tip ONeill equivalent that can battle with you during the day and have a beer with you after hours. Walz brings that back to the table.

All day keep hearing from Scarborough, Chris Christie and Bill Kristol in support of Shapiro.

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

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

This household (2) prefers Walz, Shapiro has some unpopular Israel stances, perhaps?

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

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

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

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