Not to put forth the most diverse ticket!

Now if a diverse ticket is the most likely to defeat Trump, (and it may be) then fine, I'm down with it.

But defeating the evil dictator is where I focus needs to be!!

It doesn't seem that Biden needs any help with the A.A. vote, and I'm not sure Kamala polls all that well with suburban women.

But they still didn’t come out in the same numbers that they did for Obama. Having an African American women on the ticket would energize that vote.

Which might be part of why Trump's badgering her.

Michigan is important, but I'm still hoping for Harris or Abrams.

Reid recommended her. She got Harry’s senate seat and his machine, That tells me she can secure Nevada and surrounding states. Bringing home the Culinary union for instance. Make trump have to work for Idaho.

I don't think Trump will have to work too hard to win Idaho.

I also think I may be biased as a Michigan native, but I think the state needs her leadership for a few more years as they pick up the pieces from the last disastrous Republican governor.

Whitmer's time in the national spotlight - if that's what she wants - can wait.

Hmm. Situations, including the differing authorities of governors in different states, would vary tremendously, of course, but some governors may not be able to change jobs in this emergency. Just a new thought.

We need to demonstrate Democratic leadership, and pulling a governor away from their job at this time would be disasterous.

Let's see what happens!

p.s. I don't see Kamala in this role and don't think she would like it.
