      Sorry 'bout that. He literally would give Harris a massive boost in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota.

      Your semi-loss is everyone’s gain. He’s gonna be the guy.

        There is no reason to believe that he would have any effect on Wisconsin or Michigan. Minnesota is a blue state.

            Not huge at all. Muslims are only 2.5% of the population. Where are you coming up with this?

              2.5% is huge when you talk about people who tend to vote democrat. Also, it isn’t just Muslims. The Michigan primary was the beginning of the end for Biden when uncommitted voters showed their ire at him. Picking a pro Israel vp shows those voters that Harris is pro genocide at worst, or just doesn’t care at best.

                No it isn’t huge. What is huge in Michigan is union workers, and there this no reason to suspect he would have great effect there either.

                  Both of the people in the running have the ire of unions. Shapiro for being all in on undermining public education and Kelly for not supporting that bill the unions wanted. Walz doesn’t have that baggage. If you want a motivate electorate, Walz is the way to go. He is good on all the bedrock things.

                    So since the governor of Minnesota didn’t take a position, he will deliver Michigan? BTW, the UAW already endosed Harris and in the last poll she leads by 2 points. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t care who she picks. But, to think a governor from another state will make a difference is ridiculous

              In the 2020 presidential election, Diamond Joe won Michigan by 2.78%.

              That 2.5 % has massive global consequences.

                    I don’t. I don’t call them huge either. And I don’t make up a story about a governor from another state moving them,
