(15,121 posts)Electing a black woman is going to be hard enough. She probably needs to have a straight white man for VP. Not saying I like it, but I can't imagine voters who really might be considering TFG accepting a gay VP.
Think. Again.

(15,121 posts)Independents by definition are fence-sitters. We need them. Ok, maybe if every Democrat votes and no Independents vote for TFG, it might work, but when has that ever happened?
Think. Again.

(2,079 posts)The argument against Pete is that the bigots don't want a gay man as VP, but guess what? The bigots aren't going to want a black woman as president either! So if we're going to put Kamala on the ticket anyway, we should just put Pete on the ticket too. We aren't going to win the bigot vote with Kamala or Pete.

Pete's electable. Wasn't he "Mayor Pete" before he was "Secretary Pete?" Pete is whip smart, has been everywhere across the nation, and he alone could beat Trump with one hand tied behind his back. He's young, he's married. he has a military background, and he's quick-witted. If I can't have Joe, I want Harris/Buttigieg.
Overwhelming numbers. We have them! We will win the EC!
Think. Again.
(22,456 posts)Now that it's safe to say this, Buttigieg was my first pick in 2020, Harris was my second.

And no our country is nowhere near ready for that progressive of a ticket. Unfortunately.

(68,488 posts)I saw him interviewed on Bill Maher's show and loved him. He's such a mensch!
I can see him and his husband and their kids with Kamala and her family celebrating Christmas at the White House. Wouldn't that be a wonderful scene of beautiful families with beautiful people in them.
Smelvis can skulk around Mar a lago. Nobody cares. I hope Melania packs her bags and leaves him for good. Maybe she should wear that jacket again.
