Good grief

 

Please don´t tell me the Dems are seriously contemplating nominating Kamala Harris *again*?! 

I have no particular horse in this race (OK, maybe a cute little pony), but if anybody over there wants my advice, I would say that the "best" Dem ticket would be Newsom-Shapiro, while the "best" GOP ticket would be Haley-Rubio. Best from a European perspective, at least. In the long run, we´ll all be dead! 

But surely nobody thinks Harris can defeat Vance? Although I suppose there is a slight chance, since Vance - after all - is no Trump. But that can be remedied by the neo-GOP very explicitly making Vance the constitutional place holder for Trump (or Trump jr).  

Kamala Harris leads in average Dem polling

"Genocide Josh"

 

A recent poll in Pennsylvania suggests that Kamala Harris may have lost the battleground state due to her decision *not* to make Josh Shapiro her running mate. 

Maybe.

But would it have helped the Democrats overall to have the pro-Israeli Jew Shapiro as their VP nominee? They might have lost Michigan even faster than they actually did. Even more "progressive leftists" might have stayed away from the elections altogether. Conversely, *really* hardcore supporters of Israel, Jew and Gentile alike, would still have found Trump more to their liking. 

So I´m not entirely convinced.   

Choosing Walz over Shapiro hurt Harris in Pennsylvania

Josh Shapiro may have been too pro-Israel
