Walz — Comer Opens Congressional Investigation of Walz trips to China

[Icky Mettle]

Fetterman has been one of the most annoying pols in Congress this session. I had high hopes for him before his election, but he quickly revealed himself to be just as craven as the rest.

Not sure what his angle is at this point re: Shapiro other than he probably genuinely dislikes him based on personal history.

I don’t think Fetterman is trying to position himself for a presidential run anytime soon lol.

It’s the Western PA vs. Eastern PA rivalry.

 

[2ManyBlueCups]

Fair points, but I think the fact that we’re arguing about it means Shapiro will be a distraction.

Couldn’t that apply to any candidate? I doubt you will find a single person on earth that is immune to any criticism whatsoever. If criticism is invalid, it should be called out as such.

I do worry about Palestinian protests at the convention and on college campuses the next 3 months. Will play right into Trump's hands

 

[Faucette]

Walz is by far the the most genuine and likeable candidate, I just go back to Shapiro can or will help in PA.


And yes Fetterman and others need to shut their pie holes. Keep the eyes on the prize lefties

Interesting take:

The prize to many American lefties isn’t defeating Trump and the Trumplicans, the prize is burning down the Democratic Party and rebuilding it as a socialist one……which they’re certain will sweep to victory across the US.

To be honest I think that the safest pick ranking is as follows:

1. Kelly
2. Walz
3. Beshear
4. Shapiro

Another factor to consider (somewhat raised previously) is that the ticket needs to reach the lower middle class/poor that are buying the pseudo populist drivel from Trump and another lawyer on the ticket just doesn't provide that regular guy dynamic. In that regard, you could argue that this is also why Walz and Kelly are the better choices though Beshear does a great job at communicating. Kelly will shift on labor and he is an astronaut and yes something that simple will stay in the minds of voters.

 

[lightbluenc]

I was all in on Kelly, but have changed my mind to think Walz is the best of the bunch. He can simplify kitchen table issues into very easy to understand bites. He’s like everyone’s favorite teacher, uncle and neighbor all in one.

 

[2ManyBlueCups]

I don’t think Kelly is a good choice due to his association with the gun control movement. There are a lot of single-issue voters that would be extra motivated to vote red if gun control becomes an actual issue in the next couple of months. I understand that gun control is a major issue to many Democrats, but you don’t have to telegraph it. Win first, then work on it.

Correct. I am going to write in Nikki Haley. I have decided I am going to vote for the candidate that I want to be the president.

Good luck with that.

So many cross-currents

Thats crazy. I assume its true. I dont know politics that well, just that i hate trump

 

[Faucette]

Why would you assume this drivel is true?

I dont know one way or the other, no one disputed his post hence my word assume

 

[superrific]

Why would you assume this drivel is true?

Because it is. The question isn't whether there are leftists who have that as their goal, given that many have said exactly that. The only question is how big that subset is.

 

[farce©]

What “lefties” are in favor of electing Trump?

Who made that claim?

Shapiro should be the choice for obvious reasons, but I do wonder if the Democrats will go through with putting a Jewish person on the ticket in this environment

 

[05C40]

Pretty tired of Fettermans shit

I understand. But being a former resident of Allegheny County, where both Pittsburgh and Braddock are located, Fetterman's somewhat, shall we say, "eccentric views" on certain issues are less of a surprise and get more of "well that took longer to spill out than I expected" reaction from me.
