where these folks stood on things, but also he was trying to get a sense of the person and whether they got along and whatnot. But what I also suspected is that this person was being highly, highly scrutinized behind the scenes on everything that they've said or done, where the person who's going to make the pick in that case, Donald Trump, was deciding, can I live with these issues or not?

What the articles about the VP process on the Democrat side was more painted along the lines of there was a meeting and she kind of liked him. And so she went with him. And I agree, I don't think there's an anti-Semitic bone in her body, to be totally honest with you. I don't get that sense at all.

Yeah, that's not the issue, but the calculus, right? But what I would say is, this is the number two person. I mean, maybe you should spend more than a day, and then maybe people should be really vetting this person behind... closed doors on all of the things that could go wrong.

This is what I was going to say. So there's a great quote, and I don't know if this ever made the light of day, but there was a moment where was thought of as a potential VP nomination. He was like a real big Democrat stalwart. And I don't exactly know the claims, but I'm not going to go there. But the phrase that I was told is, doesn't vet.

And what it was, was a way of saying, look, we take our time. We understand everybody's background. We know what skeletons are in folks' closets. In that example, whatever was going on was sufficient enough where he would never really get nominated for something very, very big.

I think that's sort of what comes up here, which is that in this impassioned desire to make a decision quickly, I still think the Democratic Party had an extra two or three weeks to make sure Tim Walz really bets. Now, I don't know whether these claims are true or not.

Again, somebody will get to the bottom of it, but it creates a pall over this campaign too early and where I think Kamala probably wants all of that noise away so that she can define what she stands for. It's sort of what we said last time. go after these five big issues that people care about, go into the five states on these five issues, and try to win this election.
