(4,039 posts)on border and guns? Any Dem can point out that Trump killed the bipartisan immigration bill to keep the problem for the election.
I suppose I should look up what Kelly says to understand why he can do something different.
All of the candidates have a downside. Whitmer would be a shoe-in if the top of the ticket was male. Shapiro will bring PA but being Jewish might be an issue for MI. Anyone know his stand on Israel/Gaza? Beashear is exciting but young might not play well with Kamala getting dinged for gravitas for being a woman, and he brings no state. Mark Kelly seems not as exciting as the first 3, though very strong--but I still think the potential loss of a Senate seat should be disqualifying. Buttigieg--the most articulate but gayis risky and how many glass ceilings can we break with democracy at stake?
i should check out Priztger, Cooper more but haven't found them exciting so far. Unlikely either will bring us a state, but if they do, not as critical as PA and MI.
Man, this was easier when candidates were all white men and we were just looking at geography.
