(6,319 posts)this is important as we will need to prosecute every crime committed by the trump administration. Kamala would be great choice for VP, she will generate enthusiasm and may turn Georgia blue. However, I am not sure if she helps win MI, WI and PA the way Amy probably could. But I believe enthusiasm is very important for turnout and Kamala beats Amy hands down in that regard as media would be obsessed with Kamala but not Amy. I would love to see Kamala debate Pence. I love her prosecutorial style, she was a tough district attorney in SF, locked up lots of bad folks. Kamala has always been progressive on economy, she is a co-sponsor of MFA and does not believe in private health insurance. She will be a good advocate for adding a public option to ACA and lowering Medicare age, all we need is senate and house. Once public option is available, I predict it will become very popular and will continue to expand over the years, building pressure on private health insurers. Eventually, we will achieve universal healthcare by expanding ACA, restoring individual mandate.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
