It seems certain that Shapiro will be the Democratic VP candidate. He appears to be a much stronger candidate than J.D. Vance and has significantly better ratings.

Shapiro is a governor and has served as the District Attorney of Pennsylvania, unlike Vance, who is merely a bought senator.

Shapiro looks like a very strong communicator and gets points across easily. He seems smart and skilled in policy. 

His only drawback is that he is relatively new to the public eye with just a few years as governor, and is Jewish. Harris must want the war in Israel to end.

If this conflict escalates before the election, it could potentially alienate supporters of the Middle East position (e.g., those who believe Israel is taking the war too far) in the conflict against Israel. However, they are unlikely to vote for Trump.

US Jewish and US Muslims usually vote 70% for Democrats, so the key thing is just making sure both groups vote.

Listen dimness 

You have no idea waht the capabilities of  Vance was and are.   Shapiro is an far leftist ike Harris - but he pretends he support Israel - it is only pretense since he  need the Jewish vote in Pennsvlvana.   He carries all the baggage about the open border policy and law-and order love of criminals of the present regime.   

He is also a spend fanatic and that is why the US inflation rate is increasing.   

He wil bring  nothing to the sputtering Harris idiocy of te DP.   With the DP it is aways an internal clique system as to who gets what,    The far-leftists controling the DP  are anti-Israel and Shapiro is about as principled as Harris and Biden are total tools for dictatorial rule in the USA.

The Jewish community is under pressure and they will not necessarily vote for the traitors the DP turns out to be.   The recent Hamas riots showed the level of anti-Jewish and anti America sympathies of the Muslim communty.

Hope that there will be a debate beween Vance and Shapiro - Vance is far more intelligent and will win the debate hands down.

Vance was a great pick by Trump. Brilliant guy, fearless and able to shred fake news hosts etc. 

Shapiro is a far left nutjob. Vance will crush him.

Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, is enjoying historically high approval ratings, including significant support from Republican constituents. His approval ratings surpass those of both Kamala Harris and the GOP ticket featuring Donald Trump and JD Vance.

Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, currently enjoys high approval ratings. According to a recent Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey, 49% of Pennsylvanians approve of Shapiro's job performance, while 31% disapprove. Addition ally, an earlier Franklin & Marshall College Poll from April found that 54% of voters believe Shapiro has done an excellent or good job as governor, a rating higher than his predecessors at the same point in their terms.

Shapiro's approval ratings are notable for their bipartisan support, with 22% of Pennsylvania Republicans and 46% of Independents approving of his performance. His popularity is significant as he is being considered for the vice-presidential candidacy alongside Kamala Harris in the upcoming election

Regarding JD Vance, recent polls show mixed results:

In a New York Times/Siena College poll conducted July 22-24, slightly more respondents viewed Vance unfavorably than favorably (36% favorable, 40% unfavorable).

A more recent ABC News/Ipsos poll showed 24% of respondents had a favorable opinion of Vance, while 39% had an unfavorable opinion.

Notably, in the ABC News/Ipsos poll, a considerable portion of respondents either had no opinion of Vance (17%) or didn't know enough about him to form an opinion (19%).

It's important to note that Vance is relatively new to the national political stage as the Republican vice-presidential candidate, which may explain why a significant portion of respondents are unfamiliar with him.

While there isn't a direct comparison between Shapiro and Vance in the provided search results, Shapiro's high approval ratings, including support from Republicans, suggest he may currently have a more favorable standing among voters compared to Vance.

Here’s the problem in a nut shell:

‘ Trump and his team are trying to shape how Americans view Harris, just two weeks into her presidential bid, before she can reintroduce herself to the nation as a candidate in her own right. She will get her biggest opportunity to do that at the Democratic National Convention later this month. Before then, the Trump campaign and other Republicans have worked to cast her as inauthentic in how she presents herself and as too liberal for the country.

“We have to work hard to define her,” Trump said at an Atlanta rally Saturday, before quickly catching himself and adding: “I don’t want to even define her, I just want to say who she is: She’s a horror show.”

But Trump’s off-the-cuff remarks earlier this week about her identity, which caused some of his aides to gasp, further injected race and gender into the campaign. The controversy threatens to derail their effort to define her when his campaign, thus far a more disciplined operation than his earlier bids, is eager to blunt the sudden energy for Harris.

At the rally, Trump, whose supporters gathered in the same Atlanta venue where thousands gathered for Harris on Tuesday, hammered Harris as “radical” and a “lunatic” with a “low IQ.” But he steered clear of his earlier allegation that Harris only recently identified as Black. Instead, Trump sought to draw a link between her and President Biden on policy, including Thursday’s historic prisoner swap with Russia, which he characterized as a gift for Russia’s President Vladimir Putin.’

BS galore,   The prisoner swop was planned by Putin and he woud never agree to it withou an objective in mind.   He probably did it as a propaganda present to the Democratic Party -  when in the 2020 election Putin when asked who  he supports - he said Biden - and now likely Harris,    He just do not want a stronger man in Government in the USA - weaklings and idiots like Harris are preferred.    
But who did the USA freed in exchange?  I found the answer - but most of the Russiams wereneve charged with crimes - but just held in jail,   Why should that be?    In the case of Gershkovic He was arrested in Ekaterinburg about 1 500 kms from Moscow.    So what was he doing in Ekaterinburg - which happens to be the main center of Russian Arms production.    He probably went there for media purposes - at the time the propaganda war alleges that the Russian army is out of firearms and ammo.    He started asking questions from whom he believes were workers in factories - when in fact he was talking to Russian securiy agents,   A stupid thing to do - especially in Russia at the time the country was at war.
The  Americans released served no real purpose by being held n jail.   Better get rid of the idiots who got themselves arresed for asking questons in the wrong place like Gershkovic did.
By then Mozart - is that another WSJ article?  
Introducing race and gender n the Election came from the Democrats.   They claim she is a typical Black female candidate that all Blacks should support.   That was where race and gender came in in the frst instance.     Trump did not introduce that in public and off the cuff remarks are always distorted by the leftwing media anyway.
I have thought that you hve enough brain cells left not to fall for the BS you come up with.   You m,ust be an idot in fact.   Palin was picked as a VP candidate for political purposes.   Trump started with investigation by experts of potential candidates  and politics was not the only norm for the election.   It covered management and ethical issues as well.   Trump wanted Vance for a very specific reason and that s management of Government programs  wih political abiity not the over-riding and only concern.    So your deductions are just plain BS.

No Presidential candidate picks their VP for any other reason than winning the race. Vance is definitely not going to help the cause.

So Harris was picked for political purposes and turned out to be a management disaster.   Trump knew exactl why he picked Vance - he has links to the Teamsrters and they are collaborating with the Republicans in the eection - their leader even addressed the RP Convention.   That was hidden away by the media  - because they realize the implications or perhaps they did not..   

For the first time the buggest Trade Union in the USA through their organization are suppotinmg the Republicans and not the Democrats.   So what are the media accusing Vance of?   He is no idiot and does nt need teleprompters to deliver a speech or questions.     

In any event Trump never was a career politician - he is and was a business man and for him management is a key element.in selecting anybody.  Let me go back to 2017 whn Trump picked mainly career- polititans for appointment in cbinet poaitions - most failed in the management requirements and he had to replace them.  Onc bitten - twice shy.   Pence did not deliver any signifint votes to Trump in 2016 and as VP he was about as incompetent as Harris was iro of the  Biden idocy and Harris combined.

Each potential VP candidate had to submit CV's for considertion by experts in trhe field of Management and gradually most of them was eliminated,   The last four were Vance, Rubio, the Governors of North Dakota and Virginia - that was all over Fox News since  March 2024 - with about 15 ptential candidate mentioned,  

There are other posts to be filled as well and even political psitions in the Senate and the House.   I both cases the party leadership of the House and Senate will go to people like Curio and  the present caucus leader of the RP in the House,   There are a;so cabinet positions to be filled and again Trump has a wide number of top candidates available to be filled.   He does not want to see fr instance Youngkin be replaced by a Dmocrat idiot - he wants Youngkin to keep doing what he is doing in Virginia at present..   The same applies t oter RepublicanGoernors as well.   

By the way OI see Biden wants t change the Constitution as to turning the Supreme Court nto a Banana Republic Kangaroo Court/   Do you support that idiocy as well?

Those he shooould ever appointed in the first instance and his objective to ensure a strong USA negotiating peaceful setlements of wars and world instability wss unacceptbale to the USA military command and people like Tillersen opposed to such an approach.

The fact is the warmongerers are now getting nice returns on arms production sweltered in a swamp of bureaucratic and pol;itical corruption.    The US Defense Force has not beeen audited since 2003 and there was no audit of cash advqances to the ever-corrupt  Ukraine Government.    What happened as an example was that a day after approved a grant of $1 billion to be given in respect of  budgetary support.   At the time there were a advert on the webstie of the WEF in which investment in FTX was promoted,    The grant was invested in FTX and from there $70 million went to the DNC and the rest vanished into thin air.

My facts are indeed straight - yours twisted by media propaganda,  Whatever the emdia wrote you support as factual when it was in fact twisted BS.   There is one thing that I have doubts about is the close friendship ties between Donald Trump (Junior) and the Vance family,   Trump will retire from politics in 2028 and his successor as RP candiate would be Vance - but who would be his VP candidate in the 2028 election?  Nobody knows.

I think that political based opinoion polls are promoting the Harris presidency and easily manipulated.   The only really generic based poll is Rasmussion and they are normally very close to projected outcomes.   As an example the same system of generic polls was conducted in SA before the last election and the outcome was about 0.5% out,    At this stage Rasmiussen show Trump is leading Harris by 5%  and one will have to watch for future Rasmussion polls to see trends - but I think that Harris has so many negatives it will widen in the coming weeks.   .

https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/new-scott-rasmussen-poll-shows-harris-5-points

A new poll from Scott Rasmussen's RMG Research shows Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Trump by 5 points nationally 47% to 42%.

Independent Presidential Candidate Robert Kennedy, Jr. received 6% in the poll, which was released on Friday.

The survey was conducted with 3,000 registered voters from July 29-31.

"We don't know yet if this is a temporary bounce or the first indicator of lasting change in the race," Rasmussen wrote Friday on X. 

"A week ago, it was a toss-up (Trump 44% Harris 43%)," he added

Where do you get the Rasmussion polls fom?   Trump was leading Harris by 5 points - not the other way around.    

Rasmussen does generic polls as their counterparts did in te SA election and they were about 0,5% out in the SA election.    In the 2016 USA election it was the only polls that predict a Trump victory.   In the Virginia Governer election in 2021 - after Biden won Virginia by 10 points in 2020 - they predicted a Republican lead by 3% of Youngkin who  won by 4,5%.   All the other polls showed a lead by 5 to 10% by the Democratic Party candidate,          

I think Rasmussion was indeed surprized by their findings the margin was wider than what they expected - but since that pole two weeks ago  things did change and we will have to see what will happen in their next poll.\\

If anybody put twisted  BS on the site.   Trump did not mention any name of any Democrat in his acceptance speech  - he cncentted on policie of the Democrats = but smehw that represent attacks on Biden and now on Harris,  

At the Black Media Conference  Trump accepted an invitiation after he was asurd Harris would also attending/    Harris did not turn up.- so Trump said that he does believe that Harris s from Indian descend and not Black as claimed by the Democrats in their latest propaganda racism attack on Trump.

The fact is that it was the Democrats now suddenly claim she is a Balck and any atatck on her is racist.   So how racist is Trump anyway?   He picked a VP candidate - whose wife is from Indian descent - and that make him a racist and his attack on the Democrat policies and with Harris as president his attack is repreenting racism.   

Now the prisoner release BS reign Supreme.   He sad he would not release terrorists in echange for US citizen - nor would he release $6,7 billion to Iran to free US hostages - no excange terrorists in exhange for US hostages.   That was a broad statement deaing with the Biden policy on prisoner exchange.

Your bible Wall Street Journal is a political rag supporting wars worldwide.  I just want to ask you a quetion?  Is it policy of the WSJ to appoint idiots like Gershokiv as journalists?   What the man did was idiocy supreme even trying to get confimation for media ravings about Russian arms supply breakdowns.   He travelled to Ekaterinburg - where a major industrial sector provides arms and Ammo to the Russian Army.   He turned into the standard idiocy of trying to get info from staff  from the armaments factories about the alleged malfunctioning - and it turned out he ended  up with speaking to Russian secret services agents.    After recording the discussions on tape - the idiot was arrested on charges of espionage.    Putin must have enjoined catching out another USA idiot on par ith Biden and Harris.    In any event the idiot was snetenced to 16 years imprisonment last week and two days later released in the  exchange program - another idiot released by Russia.    Russia ruled the excange issue by exchanging 11 people held in jail in the USA or in EU countries for 3 idiots they held in jail - a huge win for Putin and the dummies in the WH tried to make i ooks like a major achevemnt by the USA Government,   .  

As much as the media supporting the Democrats - you support them as well.  The twisted idiocy about Trump being a racist is what the media scream about in 2020 and is now turned by the Democrats in their latest .propaganda.

Now another bid of bad news for you.   The Democrats started registering Biden illegal migrants - so they started  getting court orders to prevent non-US citizens as voters.   They are doing it State after State to get court orders aganst illegal migrants be allowed to vote in the election.  They also appointed 1 500 lawyers to be in all counting centes to ensure such votes are not counted as legitimate.    

There original scheme to charge Trump with fake criminal harge wass supported by you all out and when those charges is now in tatters because the Justice Department and FBI was caught out from fiddiling info to support such carges are now disintegrating.    So what will be the nex dirty rick is next to follow.    Because the Suprme Court and the Federal Court  in Florida found out wat was happening they ruled against the Constitution -now your dumy President is proposing to change the Constitution to ensure al Courts are to be Kangaroo Courts supporting any undermining of the US Constitution.    That does not bother you at all.   All that counted in your book is hatred of Trump - everything else is distracting from your suppor of suppor or anybody bar Trump you spport media BS prpganda as factual.
