Ok. Let's discuss...

If Kamala is the candidate I want to know who the VP pick will be...

I have two votes:

Pete Buttigieg
Beto O'Rourke

What are your thoughts?

The five people she is vetting are:

North Carolina Gov Ray Cooper?
PA gove Josh Shapiro
Michigan gov Gretchen Whitmer
Minnesota Gov Tim Walz
Arizona Sen Mark Kelly

Also actively considering Beshear...he shouldn't be picked. He needs to stay in Kentucky.

Also talk about Pritzker and Cedric Richmond

I think k the most stellar candidates are totally overlooked.

Pete and Beto really need to be put front and center. Tired of the same old people.

Witmer or Klobuchar, I want a double estrogen ticket running with an emphasis of restoring and retaining woman and LGBT rights.
@Starcrossed I wonder if two women could get elected.

@bijouxbroussard I do too. It would be amazing but I am not sure we are capable.

@JaggedLittlePill agreed. I can dream 😌 I don't see the VP choice being female.
I read an article that claims polls show her paired with shapiro would beat trump.

@SooperSarah I really despise polls. All of them. 🤣

Good picks, but we need a star that can win swing states.... Josh Shapiro.
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
@bellybuttonfan17 That history doesn't equate to energizing a whole country to vote for that ticket.

And if he is doing a good job as Governor why would we want to take him out of PA?
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
@bellybuttonfan17 also...you are welcome to your opinion. I just dont know if a person not well known is the answer and i dont see alot about him and maybe because he is doing a good job.

I know alot of people by face but struggle to remember names 🤣 I had forgotten about Shapiro.

@bellybuttonfan17 I think Shapiro is her best bet. And it’s going to be a hard lift no matter who she selects.

Andy Beshear
Josh Shapiro
Mark Kelly

@luckranger71 Mark Kelly is a good choice ..

I really will die on this hill: just because they are governors doesn't mean the whole base knows them and will vote for them.

I think Kamala needs a strong and well known sidekick to ensure a win. But thats my opinion.

The other two seem like good people where they are. We can't take the democrat in charge of kentucky away and leave it to the right. ..would that be a good idea?

@JaggedLittlePill

I get what you’re saying. I’m fine with any of them. But then I’d vote for a ham sandwich over Trump or a Trumper.

People need to get over the “vote for the person not the party” myth. I’m voting against a whole philosophy that would poison the federal government and the Supreme Court even more.

@luckranger71 I will vote for wheoever they put up there. But I will express my opinion about it all too.

This should have been done before primaries. The new candidate should have had sufficient time to campaign.

I dont like that they will decide and not the voters.

I dont like that i am forced to vote for whoever and not given an opportunity to feel good about my vote meaning something aside from simply keeping fascism at bay.
I’ve always liked Pete, smart, excellent speaker.

@Ghostinthemachine He is very good at responding directly to what is said. An excellent speaker.

Right now Gavin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmore--I prefer them to Kamala
Gavin Newsom.
But I’d definitely vote for a ticket with Pete or Beto.
DrWatson · 70-79, M
@bijouxbroussard But there would be no political advantage to picking the governor of California, since that state will surely vote for her anyway, as will voters in other states whose politics align with Newsom's. I think she will pick someone viewed as a "moderate" , in order to appeal to swing voters.
@DrWatson That’s a good point. But I was looking at my wish list, along with Pete & Beto.
