“Josh Shapiro, popular governor of Pennsylvania, is the wisest choice.”
“The most populous swing-state and that would really help the chances of D’s winning Pennsylvania again.
He would also appeal to the blue-collar whites in Michigan and Wisconsin.

As long it is not Trump.”

“I think Sen. Mark Kelly would be a good choice.
Veteran, astronaut, and married to Gabby Giffords.
He could go hard after Republicans on political violence.”
I’d vote for him in an instant simply because he was an astronaut.

“My personal pick against anyone except a MAGA candidate would be Pete Buttigieg.”
“His tenure as Transportation Secretary has been exemplary, and he clearly has strong leadership qualities.
So, hes the wrong person to nominate this year.”

“I love Bernie.
He’d have been a great president.”
“But that ship has sailed.
And frankly, he’s too old.
I don’t want to trade in one elderly man for another elderly man.
We need YOUNG people in charge.”

“I think Harris would do well to pick Kentucky Gov.
“He has a lot of experience from being governor and, before that, the state attorney general.
Hes faced down conservative bullies Gov.
Matt Bevin (as AG) and AG Daniel Cameron (as governor).
He was lauded for his handling of COVID and has proven himself to be kind and generous.
But knowing him, he would likely decline for focus on his job as governor.”

And who can really blame her?”
“Would help solve the military recruiting situation.
History teaches that ‘character is fate.’
The rich lobbyists could not buy this gentleman!!”
“Kamala Harris and Andy Beshear, all the way.”
And finally…

“Senator Mark Kelly for sure.”
