Mr. Knight and I mentioned that a Shapiro pick would generate headwinds in the democrat party for the simple reason that progressive aren't too fond of da Joos.
How right were we? This right:
mediaite.com - These progressives dont want a jew house democrat slams lefts opposition to josh shapiro as vp pckRep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) took aim at the progressive wing of his party on Thursday and accused them of not wanting a Jewish vice president.And what did he say?
These Progressives don’t want a Jew. Let’s say it out loud. Imagine if moderate Dems said they didn’t want a certain minority. The condemnations would be deafening. Yet now we hear much silence.And he's right; they don't. Rashida Tlaib is a raving antisemite, how's asking her to appear with Shapiro in say, Dearborn, going to work out? It won't.
So a Shapiro pick presents a dilemma: go with him and you likely win Pennsylvania. But go with him and voters in Dearborn maybe stay home.
