You think American swing voters will send not one, but two women to the White House?

Bottle that starry-eyed optimism and sell it.

Agreed. This pick has to be a man. And probably a white one.

They can’t both be from California.

It feels like they want to make this a much more chaotic process than it needs to be. Just follow party line and say she's a good candidate and MOVE ON.

Because the Dem governors are all polling higher than her. If this really is about saving us from Trump, why not go with a candidate who is polling higher? Everyone is acting like Kamala has already won. I think that's dangerous, especially as Biden screwed her over and she's tainted because of him. Remember how we watched with dread on election night 2016.

+1


Someone else said (can’t find the comment) that she’s not smart. That’s not true, she’s smart. Not a scholar or a genius, but smart.

But she doesn’t connect with people in the way that this populist climate demands. We’ve seen her do the hard-a*s routine in the Kavanaugh hearings. We know she can prosecute.

But we don’t know if she can inspire the best and brightest to join her team and stay there (DC rumors suggest not), and we don’t know if she can build the relationships and coalition needed to be more than just a one-term Trump buffer.

She memes well but meme isn’t a personality.

FWIW her boss doesn’t do that charisma thing well either, and he’s also been a one-term Trump buffer.


Inspiring the best and brightest to join her team matters. Who would agree to be her VP except someone who wants no taint of the investigation that will surely follow into the Biden admin and perceived coverup of his decline? No one with designs on 2028 POTUS race, and with a strong chance at it, would want the VP role in 2024.

Come on. Do you seriously not think she’s smart? You don’t have to like her but attacking her intelligence is silly.

She may be smart. But she has been the butt of so many poor performances on the world stage. Everyone voting for Biden knew she would have to become president eventually as no way he could finish a full 4 years. She is not liked and he even thought of replacing her o the ticket in late 2023 as she was a drag on his numbers.

Surely there is someone else? However yo will see every democrat praise how amazing she is in the surface to help her election, but these were the same democrats who said she would have no chance at beating trump and that is why until recently, Biden was staying in. He saw poll numbers that showed Harris doing poorly.

But sure, let’s trust all the Dems saying how amazing she is. Same ones up until 4 weeks ago were saying Biden is mentally fit, energetic, in his way to beating Trump. How did that work out?.

I didn't care for her in '19 and '20, but there were so many good candidates and I was with another. She's grown tremendously. Her remarks to the campaign staff were awesome. She has not put a foot wrong since this was announced.

+1 And she didn’t put a foot wrong since Biden’s debate performance either, for three weeks of angst and turmoil and leaks out the wazoo which must have been very difficult.

Not if you aren’t seen or heard from publicly.

Too bad Trump never learned the saying “it’s better to keep quiet and be thought a fool…..”

Why was Kamala kept quiet for 3 plus years?

It’s not her problem if you have selective hearing and memory.

It actually is her problem if that’s how voters perceive her tenure.

Mitch Landrieu would be a good pick in that vein.

That’s not even a woman problem. An American swing voter isn’t sending a CA/NY ticket to the White House.

Kelly’s military background is great, but he’s also perceived as anti-gun (with good reason!), which could counteract his appeal among those most impressed by his military service.

Cooper is too old.

Kelly is not anti-gun. He owns a gun and is former military. Believing in gun control measures is not anti-gun.

On Morning Joe they said that they were also asking Whitmer and Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, for vetting materials.

Whitmer took herself out of running, Walz does not expand the map

Walz doing great here though.

I like him too. Being young is also good--here is the future, and he's a good contrast to Vance.

She’s not concerned with MAGAS.
