    It doesn’t have to be hard. Harris should go to the top of the ticket, and the campaign apparatus stays the same.

    Have her, a former prosecutor, debate Trump and treat that shit like a cross examination.

    And make Sanders the VP to make me excited.

      Sanders is too old. God love him, but it would not inspire confidence. If we’re going for a prominent progressive on the ticket, we’d have to go AOC.

      More likely though, Harris will pick someone who is an old white moderate male, though, unfortunately.

          Trump is 78, Sanders is 82. Realistically speaking, Trump is also at that age when decline can come very quickly, but:

          1. His cult doesn’t care

          AND

          1. Considering Trump’s ‘normal’ behavior, how would you even tell

            Trump is also at that age when decline can come very quickly

            The decline has already come. I’ve seen some clips of Trump from 20 years ago. He was never a good person, but he used to be coherent.

      I’d love someone like Hakeem Jeffries, Katie Porter, or (if God exists and is benevolent) Jasmine Crockett. Any of those choices would make me ecstatic.

        I don’t know Jasmine Crockett, but Katie Porter is so fucking sharp. No idea if she would run or could win, but she would be a great fucking President.

            Isn’t she also from California? Her and Newsom wouldn’t work for the same (legal) reason Trump couldn’t go with DeSatan.

              That’s an interesting point. I wonder if it works better for Harris, having been in DC so long, does she claim that as her residence?

            But vulnerable as a “loser” when added to Harris, who doesn’t have a really long track record herself. Also they need someone who can pull a swing state.

          Oh bro. You gotta go look up Jasmine Crockett clips on youtube. She’s incredible. And hard agree on Katie Porter being a great fucking president.

      Trump and his team are not happy that Biden isn’t the Nominee anymore. There is absolutely no chance Trump agrees to debate her.
