In reply to the discussion: Trump: "She'll lose the Palestinian vote if she picks Shapiro". [View all]epreic01
(197 posts)76. I think he's a great choice
I just worry there isnt enough time to clean up this perception and its a distraction and could lose some momentum. BUT I could be wrong. And he is such a great speaker and so so sharp. It may not matter if he costs us votes in some places. He may gain us votes in others. And really his position will be on her position. So its really up to her.
