The good news is that there will not be bad news.

Taking Cooper and Whitmer out because they said so:

Buttigieg, Walz, Beshear, Kelly, Shapiro—not a loser among them. What a wonderful dilemma to have! And talk about a “looks like America” roster! Maltese, German, French, Irish and Jewish.

The Republicans have James Donald Bowman, who became James David Hamel, who became James David Vance. No wonder he uses JD. I’m just surprised he doesn’t shorten it to JD BHV.
