(323 posts)Were ready for a gay VP if we say we are! We have to move and make it happen or it never will! As Rev Al Sharpton said in response to the statement: I dont know if America is ready for a Black Woman to be President.
Rev Sharpton: America wasnt ready for us to be off the plantation. Its not about what the country is ready for, its about what WE are ready for!
I couldnt agree with him more! We are ready, and in my opinion Pete is the best, most capable candidate. We cant afford to risk losing a Senate seat in a battleground state, and Pete and Chasten (and their beautiful children) live in MI, a swing state. He proudly served as an officer in the navy and was deployed to Afghanistan. His unparalleled talent more than compensates for any perceived lack of experience in winning elections. He is by far the strongest, most capable, most gifted communicator I have ever seen. No one can deliver a message like he can. He shines under immense pressure and consistently excels on Fox News, earning the well-deserved moniker Slayer Pete. It was legendary the way he eviscerated JD Vance on Bill Maher, and I think we would all love to see him have the opportunity to shred him in person in a debate. It would be epic!
He is by far the most exciting, most capable candidate, and we are ready!!
