William, perhaps you are right about why he was not chosen. But as you know we live in a Racist, Classist, and culturally polarized society, and Shapiro would do little to blunt the many ways that much of the USA will not view Kamala as their candidate. She is coastal, female and black! many in Americans will not view her as representing them. Obama pulled off a hat trick that is nearly never seen... We listened to him, and kinda forgot he was Black. He DID make many feel he represented them. We should just not forget on RARE this is. So gun-toting, mid western, good-'ole-white-boy Waltz is a very good choice indeed!
And so far I feel that Kamala has super energy on camera... hoping, hoping, hoping!
