he would be a great choice for VP. In addition to all of the positive things already mentioned about him, he comes across as a blue collar kind of guy.You know, the type that male voters would want to "have a beer with".

Contrast him with "baby boy" Trump. (I hope I don't get "double standard" blasted for saying this! I'm just trying to think like those blue collar white guys who have their blue jeans in a bunch about voting for a woman.)
If I sound crazy, feel free to kick me.
