2020 Democratic Vice Presidential Runningmate-US Senator from a Rust belt swing state.

Must be from a state with a Democratic Governor.
Harris/Klobuchar ticket can turn MN,WI,MI,and PA into blue states and IA and OH into purple states.

She's impressive, but methinks a little premature to advance for presidency.
But, then, who knows?

There hasn't been a POTUS or VP candidate from PA since...James Buchanan? I also think Tom Wolf would be a fabulous running mate. By then he'll be halfway through his (please dear God) term-limited 2nd term.

Will Casey being on the ticket decrease turnout in the pro choice community?
Unlike the Republican prolifers, Casey is the real prolifer, he cares about the baby after it is born.

I honestly don’t know. Has he ever sponsored or voted for legislation that would restrict a woman’s right to choose? Or is he “personally opposed” like Tim Kaine? He had a great piece on his FB page about how Planned Parenthood is actually pro-life because contraception prevents abortion (wish more Dems would make this point). Naturally the comments section was vile.

Remember, these were the votes that went for Whiny Donny.

It is quiet disheartening that our leaders are from the coasts: Pelosi and Schumer, Harris and Warren, even Sanders.

The only exception, for me, will be Cory Booker.
