3. Not a beltway VP, not this time

FFS!

Look at all the talent we have at the gubernatorial level including battleground states like PA and MI. The last Governor who made it to the White House was Clinton and he wa pretty damned good.

The thing about AG’s like Shapiro in PA (he was elected Governor last year) and Governors like Whitmer is they have hands-on experience working with Trump in a crisis and being targeted by him so their critiques not only carry extra weight but are much more interesting to listen to than any DC politician.
