I have a few thoughts about Shapiro

I think he's incredibly sharp and would make a valuable addition to the ticket. He's charismatic, quick on his feet, and would absolutely depants Vance (see what I did there?) in a debate.

I think that fears about him are overblown. There's no one who's clean enough to not be a target of the right-wing smear machine. Whomever VP Harris chooses will get targeted in the nastiest way possible, and there doesn't have to be any truth involved.

I don't like the idea of pandering to any religion. I don't want to hear about what Michigan Muslims want or don't want as a bloc, any more than I give a particular shit about what Southern Baptists want.

Has anyone not given any thought to the fact that the Trump campaign could make a great deal of hay by accusing VP Harris of being anti-Israel? And let's be honest: how many microseconds would it take them to call the Harris campaign pro-Hamas? They'd say, "She wouldn't pick a popular Jewish governor because she's pro-Hamas. She'll institute sharia law!" How many people in how many states would that push away from Harris? Less than the putatively upset Muslims in Michigan? More?

I like Gen Z, but if you allow them to dictate policy then you're going to end up with Secretary of State Taylor Swift.

On edit: the last sentence was humor. Generations joke about each other all the time. Get over yourselves.
