@wtg said in Vice President:
“Being anti-Trump can’t be what the Democratic message is,” she said. “The Democratic message has to be about how we will govern differently from Republicans.”
This! This is good!!
As is this:
@Steve-Miller said in Vice President:“He might run for Vice President or he might clean the garage. It’s the weekend, anything can happen,” one tweet quipped.”

Read something today that said Trump campaign is relieved it wasn't Shapiro because they figured he would lock it up for PA. But honestly, every Pennsylvanian I talked to wants to keep Shapiro here for his hopefully 8 years of governorship -- he's the best governor we've had in a while, he's only two years in, and we want to keep him. All the Pennsylvanians I talked to are relieved it wasn't him. I also think his stance on Israel might not be seen as progressive enough to attract younger voters and he also has a semi-scandal in his closet in that someone in his office was the victim of sexual harassment and he supposedly helped cover it up or something - I'm not exactly clear on the details but I'm sure the republicans would make it sound awful (yet somehow, their own sexual predator candidate gets a free pass.)
Also, I feel like an old white dude will set a lot of the older boomer generation voters who might be wary of a female POC at ease - sad that that still has to be considered, but there you have it. And Walz is funny and has a social media presence....LL#2 actually likes him a lot and that's saying something because he hasn't been enthusiastic about any candidate since Bernie.

I like this guy

The elites?
Trump & Vance - both attended Ivy League schools.
Harris & Walz - neither has attended an Ivy League school
Biden also did not go to an Ivy League school.
-
And Walz did not go to law school - not seen since like 1962.
-
Trump went to law school??? It doesn't look like it from what I read.
Sarah Palin didn't - I just looked it up.
Unless you were only talking about Democratic candidates, LOL.....
-
That video is adorable!

Funny thing is, he’s just a few months older than Harris. But he looks like he has 20 years on her.

I was wondering about that Jon. From the photos I'd seen before yesterday, I assumed he was well into his 70s but then watching the videos above I was like I think he's a lot younger than that -- his skin is pretty young looking but his stark white hair and bald head aren't doing him any favors (that said, I so VERY MUCH appreciate that he's going with what he's got instead of whatever that awful hairdye / combover combo is that the other side has going on, LOL!) . I still haven't looked up how old he really is, but he seems like an awesome guy....and if he's young enough to run for president after Kamala, even better!!!!

He’s only 60! I like him.
-
Honestly feel that presidents should be somewhere between the ages of 40 and 75. Preferably older than 45 and younger than 70.

Yeah, he turned 60 in April. Harris turns 60 in October.

how can I count on this ticket to represent the interests of the disadvantaged old white dude over 70 community?
we are so tired of having our interests ignored…

James Carville's take. Pithy, as usual!

Walz, in his first appearance Tuesday night as Harris’s running mate, came out swinging against the Republican ticket, taking aim especially at his vice presidential rival, Vance.
“I just have to say it. You know it. You feel it. These guys are creepy and, yes, just weird as hell. That’s what you see,” Walz said to raucous applause from the rally crowd in Philadelphia, using the viral new framing of the Trump campaign as “weird.”
“Like all regular people I grew up with in the heartland, JD studied at Yale, had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires, and then wrote a bestseller trashing that community. Come on! That’s not what middle America is,” Walz said, adding that he “can’t wait to debate the guy.”
