Kelly makes a lot of sense, but so does Shapiro. The difference is campaigning skills IMO. Shapiro not only puts a blue wall state in the win column, he’s a walking viral moment waiting to happen. And I mean that in a good way. Mark Kelly would never tell Tump to stop shit talking America. Shapiro is totally of the moment we’re in.
