'Doomed': Experts say this crucial campaign decision led to VP Harris' 'disastrous' defeat
Many experts believed that PA Gov Josh Shapiro was a better choice for vice president

Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed presidential bid has political strategists second guessing many of her campaign choices, including her selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.

"The choice of Walz was only one of many disastrous mistakes but symptomatic of one larger problem – the Democratic Party leadership is too scared to say no to the hard left progressive wing of the party," Julian Epstein, longtime Democratic operative and former chief counsel to the House Judiciary Committee, told Fox News Digital.

"This hard left opposes commonsense solutions that Gov Shapiro supports – charter schools for example. Or defeating terrorists rather than aping their talking points and positions, which allow them to stay in power and rearm for the next genocidal attack," Epstein continued. "It’s the hard left progressive wing that looks first to welfare and redistribution rather than economic growth, and to cultural extremism on migration and gender deeply out of touch with the American electorate. Walz was a really bad choice for sure, but their choice was part of a deeper problem."

Rob Bluey, president and executive editor of The Daily Signal, told Fox News Digital that Walz being added to the ticket was a significant error in judgment.

To keep the Dems in disarray, the best thing is for them to believe the candidates were the biggest flaw rather than the process of what got them there.

I'd love to know who directed Harris to choose Walz. Boneheaded.

I was shocked when it happened. I really was. I can only imagine the glee in the Trump camp.

A presidential candidate will only pick a vice presidential candidate that makes them look better by comparison.

Bush '41, Dan "Potatoe" Quayle
Clinton, Al "Wooden Indian" Gore

Bush'43, Darth Cheney ... this was an exception that can demonstrate when the President is more clueless than his Vice President.

Obama, "Creepy Uncle" Joe Biden
Trump '45, Mike 'Fly Guy" Pence

"Dimentia" Joe Biden, Kamala "Cackles" Harris
Kamala Harris, "Tool Time" Tim Walz

The disaster was their enslavement to identity politics, which resulted in them picking Harris.  Most people recognized that she was one of two candidates Trump stood a decent chance to defeat.  She's better than Joe ... Trump probably would have picked off a couple of more states from him ... but Whitmer and Shapiro could have provided the reset their party needed.
