    He should, but I’m excited to see if the Democrats will come up with a candidate that can actually make Democrats more excited to come out and vote. Trump is a pretty good motivator for Democrats, but we need excitement of the Democratic side of the ticket as well. I’m hoping for a Harris/Shapiro or a Whitmer/Shapiro ticket.

      I just had to look up Shapiro and that is probably not a good sign. I wouldn’t mind a Harris/Whitmer ticket. I think it has to be Harris if you want to easily get on the ballot.

        Nah, Josh Shapiro is pretty well known and very popular in an important swing state. I could also see good potential in a Harris/Kelly ticket with Mark Kelly being well known and popular in Arizona, another swing state.

          I’m surprised that Buttigieg is not mentioned more often. Brilliant, fantastic communication, midwestern, white man (but not straight, lol), no valuable seat left open. And his recent takedown of Vance is a great example, would love to see that VP debate.
