trump also wants to scrap fed independence so he can put pedal to the metal and go full BrrRrrRrr

a man who has no scruples monetizing his presidency now dictating interest rates... what could go wrong?

So, on some very rare occasions I opt to watch a politician in action and took a look at some videos of Walz.

The republicans got a fight on their hands with this one, he is really, really good on the screen. Clear, concise and still coming off as down to earth. And behind that is a good orator.

Well, that or even "doesn't work well under the supervision of women" don't seem any different than "he doesn't look like he's ever taken an order from a woman" WRT sexism.

think its more just "not shapiro = antisemitic", so by transitive property "walz = antisemite"

I can't believe you actually believe that. He doesn't "look like" he's ever taken an order is much, much different than "doesn't work well". Can you not see the difference? How about this - She doesn't look like she could be a CEO. And just to be clear, I don't think "look" in this case is anything other than his appearance.

he was pro BLM riots and is pro mutilation and sterilization of minors who think they are of the opposite sex.

anyway people are more entrenched than ever in this election so any effect at most will be minor

that was a great line

Walz is A+ at delivering a stump speech

he'll chip away a point or 3 from MAGA's rural percentages. going to really dampen the GOP's path to 270

hey Donald, that is how you pick a VP running mate

Packing the same venue that Trump couldn't fill up a few weeks ago, then knocking that speech out of the park has to scare the s out of the Trump camp.

Agreed and Shapiro was by far the best

This was an excellent pick. Shaprio is arguably better on paper for her election chances, but's he's a bleh moderate with half the charisma of Walz on his best day. And good luck trying to paint Walz as some American-hating Antifa liberal extremist who wants to make your children gay and is out of touch with real people.

That said I think he'll be about as effective as your typical VP pick in moving the overall needle--not much. But then again I don't think he's particularly likely to make himself a liability either (see: Palin, Sarah). Whereas, JD Vance without a doubt carries some risk of that.

9th month no questions asked abortion and genital surgery for "gender affirmation" of minors don't poll well

Vance was a horrible pick though. Granted it's tough to find all that many ticket-ready Republicans who didn't at some point bash Trump, but he deserves the "weird" tag he's getting. Pence I understood fine but I'm not clear on what JDV is supposed to bring that they didn't already have

Congrats and how many times 9month abortion happen?
I’m interested in the % since it must be occurring often to be an actual issue , so we could find a % stats about it easily.
