I gave it more thought while waiting for your response. Even though it's legal for them to be from the same state, it's potentially stupid to have candidates from the same state. You'd have to replace the electors with out of state electors and I'm not sure of the legality of that. Use Dubya and Cheney as an example. They were both Texans. Cheney changed his primary residence from Texas to Wyoming to avoid any sticky scenarios. Good thing for them that they did considering they won the election by only 1 electoral vote.

Two "west coast elites" might be a hard sell too, even if Harris is a centrist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the smartest thing would be to pick a candidate from a "battleground" state so that will give them a bump. Two people from a state that is in the bag in Cali is a dumb idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the 'best candidates' for the VP job may not want it as they have their eyes on POTUS 2028. I think that may be true of Newsome and possibly Shapiro. Of course fear of another Trump administration may change some minds (if they put service over ambition). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the only person Trump can win against is Biden. Without Biden, Trump is in big trouble. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, unless he can get her off balance early on in a debate, I think she's going to wipe the floor with him when they meet. She's a trained litigator.

They're never going to get that 40% under any circumstances. Whitmer is popular in Michigan and understands the people in that part of the world. Shapiro does as well, which is why I think it'll be one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I think there is a major gap between Biden and Harris for Trump's fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, are you saying that the US is, in essence, a misogynist nation? As @stawns said, I think there is the Republican base, (who wouldn't vote for the second coming of JFK or FDR) and a small percentage of dinosaurs who don't believe a woman is capable of being POTUS, but the majority of voters will see no issue with two women on a Presidential ticket. That being said, I think the Dems probably hedge their bets and go with someone like Shapiro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like she will trigger him and bring out the real ugliness that hits hard at middle class Americans families.
