In reply to the discussion: Guess who pro-Palestinian groups don't want on the Democratic ticket. [View all]
H2O Man
(79,059 posts)89. There may be
a number of reasons that the younger generation of voters do not like Shapiro. Clearly, his position on Israel is one of them. And and important one. But it isn't the only one. Gov Walz would be a far more attractive VP candidate for young voters.
