    Shapiro has Israel baggage that I am so glad I don’t have to hear about online for the next forever. Kelly had a messy divorce that I’m sure nobody wants to have dredged up. Walz seems relatable to a great number of people.

    Plus, he drives a 1979 IH Scout.

      Shapiro’s Israel issue would have been a toss-up issue. Some independents wanted him to be very pro-Israel, others no so much. Probably wouldn’t have made a huge difference.

      On the other hand, might have made a difference in Michigan among the large muslim minority who may not have come out to vote.

      I really just hope Walz is not going to be another Kaine.
