Shapiro -- we need him in PA
Newsome -- not 2 people from CA
Cooper -- not a household name

Pennsylvania is in the bag. Trump can’t focus on PA because they know it’s a lost cause. Shapiro is then free to focus on other Rust Belt states for campaigning.
You park Shapiro in the Rust Belt while Kamala focuses on battleground states in the South and West.

The inclusion of Oprah Winfrey and Nick Saban gave me a chuckle .

Gretchen Whitmer.

Vetted, governing, and brings Michigan voters.

All you're really describing is the doubt in a woman's mind about the greatness of her own destiny.

Women voters will respond favorably to this approach.

Even some who so far have been duped into wanting to vote for Trump!

Male, Jewish, fantastic gentleman, wraps up PA, parks in Rust Belt. Vance would be forced to campaign in Ohio because Shapiro could threaten that state.

I had already counted Doug Emhoff as the Jewish ingredient.

Do you know Doug Emhoff?

Maybe not so much in normal years, but Josh is instantly likeable and impressive. I've heard him speak live. Wonderful man, and not a bragger. Total 180 from tscf. They would make an exhilarating team!

Shapiro would wrap up PA and force Vance to play defense in Ohio. All of a sudden, Vance would be forced to campaign in Ohio.

Tscf's team could think that far ahead. But, yes, they'll have to fight for PA and likely lose it.
