Wow: Josh Shapiro Backed Out of the Kamala
Veepstakes at the Last Minute

As recently as last week, Kamala Harris appeared to be on the cusp of picking Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) as her running mate. Despite the progressive backlash against him and a slew of scandalous leaks, he was the runaway frontrunner in the betting odds as conventional wisdom held that Kamala needed a "moderate" swing state Democrat to help expand her path to 270 Electoral College votes.
Shapiro's chances remained high even after he faced serious allegations by a fellow Democrat of covering up harassment in his office. The sexual harassment cover-up didn't take Shapiro out of contention, and neither did another cover-up — this one involving murder.

And they said the Republican ticket was weird. Two socialist/communist teaming up to F over America. Did you read the article that listed the 7 accomplishments/beliefs of Walz? Normal vs crazy. They are both a waste of space. Lots and lots of fodder for some good ads to showcase their weirdness. So forget the personalities and go for the juggler, their beliefs. Get it out there in all its ugliness. If anyone is trying to destroy America it is the dems.

Shapiro didn't drop out. The people selecting a VP did not want a Jew.

I'm sure nobody was scared of a Josh Shapiro pick; the media can miss us with that. The VP pick lasts about five minutes; it's the word salad cackler that Trump and voters are focused on.

Maybe he remembered he'd have to face his family, friends and synagogue and explain how his faith wasn't as important as a political office.

I always thought there was something suspicious about Ellen Greenberg's murder and my suspect was her fiance. Her parents challenged the medical examiner's "findings" and hired two others to review them. Both are/were nationally known but their names escape me now. They found that 2-3 stabs were inflicted after death. I don't know if Shapiro has a relationship with her fiance's family or not; I always assumed --- since he's a democrat --- that someone bought him off with a substantial sum of money.

Maybe the first smart thing he's done. I now live in PA and his " get sh*$ done" moniker is just that. All hat and no cattle. He's signed some bills into law, but nothing on the scale he was bumping his gums about during his campaign.

Yes, and when they do, it's always as a last resort...or because they have no choice. SOP

The 92% of Horizontal Harris' staff were at least free to go. This guy would be stuck.

From what I’ve seen so far, Walz can really run his mouth off. To a dem, this is very important. The left doesn’t care that he let his state burn. They care that he can talk smack about President Trump and JD Vance.

Panic city at the White House...things are not going to well for them...their focus groups are not getting it right...this walz character left his army post and resigned just as his group was to deploy to Iraq...he spent his army career...in a foreign assignment...Italy...now how dangerous was that?...but when it got serious...he bolted and resigned...not much of an American soldier...kinda like Kerry...who shot himself in the foot to get out of Nam.....

#8, this reminds me of a line from "Cell Block Tango" from the musical, "Chicago". One of the "merry murderers" is explaining how her husband got dead:
"And then he ran into my knife. He ran into my knife nine times..."
I guess this is how Justice in Pennsylvania thinks Miss Greenberg committed suicide.

Shapiro weighed the odds of winning, and dropped out.

Suicide by 20 knife wounds. It doesn't take a ME to figure that one out. It's just like two shots to the back of the head. It can't happen. I too believe that Shapiro knew that strapping himself to the Kamalasaurus was like strapping on a terrorist bomb vest. It has no chance of ending well. But she found a more dedicated communist so she's as happy as a laughing donkey.

I remember that. This site had dozens and dozens of comments. How a lady killed herself with 20 fatal stab wounds is just short of a miracle.

It is simple, Eric Holder vetted Walz and determined he would be an excellent vice-prop for the Junta.
