White Jew/Black Female
Would we get any white, Christian, male votes?
Would it matter if we got huge turnout in other demographics in the correct electoral college states...such as Michigan, Wisky, Penn?

East Coast/West Coast wouldn't go over if Dems are trying to get middle America votes, unless they thought they got a say on who runs on the ticket.

Personally I'm for Franken/Harris. But I've been wrong before.

But I don't think the country would go for a black woman as VP yet. Heck, we can't even get a mainstream WHITE female in the White House, except as the spouse. And Harris is unknown to most Americans.

Franken is a game changer in and of himself. The ticket wouldn't be popular, I think, if BOTH are game changers. The VP on the ticket would have to be your regular, moderate Democrat..and a white male, not too old (or it would seem too much like old-man Trump redux).

I'm not sure Franken is interested, though.
