Much more likely to see someone that has been selected to head an important portfolio such as Jim Himes (ranking member of the House Intelligence committee) another one to consider is Brendan Boyle (Ranking member of the House budget committee) IMO, pick will be a white male with experience in politics and a good track record of winning in a critical swing state. I like Kelly. Former military, astronaut, family has had real issues to face. Plus the VP gets to run NASA and I don't think he'd pander to Elon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She sounds here like she is trying to simplify and dumb it down for the US people. Remember , for example, Trumps speeches are at about a grade 6 level To be fair, Trump can't read a higher level.

The benefit to Pete B. Is his success and foresight with infrastructure. The Build Back Better or whatever plan under him would be great. He went out loud and long about the issues with Texas' infrastructure and was ignored and then everything he said would happen or could happen did. He actually has a mind and brain for this and for a team that ran on or is running on finishing the job and infrastructure he'd be a good call to bring along. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone did it for you @bolt So in essence, she was asked to explain it to people like they were 5, or Trump supporters and she did and now they're using it against her. Seems about par for the course. Maybe another opinion column would help?

Dems need to run with this ‘younger’ person and his incredibly high policy acumen and track record with ‘on the ground’ accomplishments, and ensure a debate happens between Petey and Drumpfy.
