- So then you won't be horrified when I suggest the VP candidate needs to be from California because Most Populous State? -- (edited) - con_carne May 20, 09:40 2
  - I think Kamala is a wonderfully quality candidate and should be a front runner choice. - Will Hunting May 20, 09:45 1
    - Okay, but admit that "California" as all but a cuss word in these middling places you're talking about and we are setting ourselves up to make a bad - con_carne May 20, 09:47
- I am just not living in this same world as people who are focusing on "wait, but what happens if he dies" as an election decision. -- nm - Reagen May 20, 09:10 5
  - As a deciding factor between presidential candidates, sure. But that doesn't mean I don't care about who they pick. Especially with someone his age, - pmb May 20, 09:15 4
    - And if nothing else, I see it as the possible frontrunner candidate in 8 if not 4 years. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 09:16 3
      - Right. He recently said he views himself as a bridge to the future of the party. I wouldn't be shocked by a single term. -- nm - pmb May 20, 09:18 2
        
        Remember WAY back (2018 IIRC) I said Biden/Mayor Pete one term for that exact reason. And maybe Biden runs on "one term to fix what Trump broke". -- nm - Spawn May 20, 09:32 1

- otoh, Pence was crucial, imo. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man May 20, 09:07 8
  - I don’t know ... Trump’s personality And Hillary Hate won that election. - Will Hunting May 20, 09:16 6

    - It was a rearguard action to shore up the evangelical base to signal they wouldn't be left behind. -- (edited) - znufrii, silly old man May 20, 09:19
    - It gave cover to more traditional republicans as a rationalization to vote for Trump. -- nm - pmb May 20, 09:19
    - You are not remembering well, at all. Pence brought political clout and stability (BWAHAHAHA) to the ticket. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 09:17 2
      - He also solidified the bargain with the evangelical vote. -- nm - Open Baron May 20, 09:21
      - I knew enough he was playing the good hand oftaking one for the team and getting drubbed. - Will Hunting May 20, 09:20
  - He learned from McCain. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 09:11
You betcha. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 09:03
