And Mark Kelly voted against a ban on assault weapons. I'm pretty sure someone could find something to object to in the background of most if not all the folks being considered for VP.

It's not as if Biden and Harris were perfectly aligned when he chose her as his VP.

Uh-huh. tritsofme Jul 2024 #9

Google is your friend ;) polichick Jul 2024 #11

Lots of (((sad))) abounds around the conjecture that Shapiro could be the VP. Behind the Aegis Jul 2024 #36

They are not fooling anyone at all. tritsofme Jul 2024 #43

No, but they love their propaganda, games, strawman, and other logical fallacies. Behind the Aegis Jul 2024 #44

The only reason someone would oppose a pro-Gaza genocide candidate is because they're Jewish, huh? Sky Jewels Jul 2024 #37

TY! Cha Jul 2024 #69

I want Kamala videohead5 Jul 2024 #52

Then don't lose Michigan Nanjeanne Jul 2024 #56

The more I learn about Shapiro, the less I like him. Sky Jewels Jul 2024 #30

He vetoed the bill obamanut2012 Jul 2024 #32

He didn't veto it because he changed his mind, it was because of Dem push back. Nevilledog Jul 2024 #63

If he's the best candidate to get Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, maybe Ohio I'm for him. She will set Pisces Jul 2024 #33

While he has voiced support for vouchers, it is apparently a very nuanced position. Wiz Imp Jul 2024 #58

Yes, vouchers are bad. alarimer Jul 2024 #59

Here is the truth Deminpenn Jul 2024 #66

This opposition research is about education in Pa. gab13by13 Jul 2024 #75

I am dead set against vouchers. returnee Jul 2024 #80

What specifically has Shapiro done, not said. gab13by13 Jul 2024 #83

I posted this letter from educators elsewhere in the thread Nevilledog Jul 2024 #87

Your letter doesn't answer my question gab13by13 Jul 2024 #90

He supports vouchers. The fact he didn't get it passed because of fallout doesn't change that. Nevilledog Jul 2024 #94

Did not know that. Thank you surfered Jul 2024 #84
