A highlight today: Nicole Wallace and Kamala Harris sharing a laugh

about an hour ago. Wallace was interviewing Harris. There was a bit of bantering back and forth and soon they were sharing a laugh. Each has a laugh that is infectious and can lift the spirit of those who hear it. Sort of made me feel good to hear some laughter at such a somber time.

4. I have been against Harris as VP for one reason: we don't need her to carry California

I was hoping that Biden would take someone who could help us carry a formerly Republican state. Not sure who that might be while fulfilling the other items on the check list such as women, possibly POC.

I have been thinking Tammy Duckworth, but we don't need help to carry Illinois, just like California.

But if you take away the checklist of criteria for VP and just wanted to pick the one person whose personality and experience bring the most to the ticket I would pick Kamala first and Sherrod Brown second.

Harris is simply dynamic.

When Obama picked Joe it certainly wasn’t because he needed to win Delaware.

9. Sure I agree - and purely on merit I think it is hands down Kamala

I have been watching her career for a long time. When I first started reading of her I was convinced she was presidential caliber.

8. Conversely we need someone from California to make a point

As goes CA so goes the Country. These assholes always shitting on CA need to be called out. It is an in your face, shove it up your ass move to all FAUX News consumers.

A half black, female, CA Senator.

Remember the 85 Bears and the Refrigerator? A direct in your face payback to the Niners who ran a lineman at fullback against the Bears the previous year. Ditka is a self admitting asshole, but even I as a Niner fan, give him credit for that one.

5. Joe will do fine if the Orange ShitStain actually debates

But I would pay to watch Kamala debate tRump. He tries to stalk her like Hillary and she will turn around and kick the shit out of him.
