Mark Halperin says Mark Kelly

[glamorilla]

I can't wait to see Harris and Kelly's kids get together to support their parents.

There are democratic traditions they need to uphold.

Mark Kelly would be a good choice for VP in my opinion.

Quoting yet another example of the right wing obsessing over candidate's children.

Mark Kelly would be a good choice for VP in my opinion.

He’s an outstanding individual, but he’s already 60, and in eight years he’ll be pushing 70, (not "old". by modern standards) so would age be an issue again if, (fates willing) Kamala serves two full terms and Mark Kelly was next in line???



He’s also older than Kamala (by less than a year), so the optics of that aren’t so great.

I still think it would be a solid pick overall, and he would certainly be ready to be President on day one if (fates forbid) something were to happen to Kamala, but there are some factors that work against him as well.

 

[Rightguide]

Might be Kamala's best bet.

It still won't get her elected. Not only because there isn't enough oomph there (he's alienated half the country with just his anti-gun nutology) but if she picks him before the convention she runs the risk of the VP curse. Every candidate who has chosen a VP before the convention has never been nominated.

Let's hope that Joe Biden stays in power until Jan. 20, 2025 because Kamala Harris could do a lot of damage to the country between now and then. When she was in the Senate she was the most radical Senator in the chamber, nobody, not even Bernie, was to the left of her. She's as close to a Communist you can get without saying it. To be that radical in the United States one has to be really stupid, and we've all seen the overwhelming evidence of that every time she opens her mouth.

She's a SF democrat which is one step to the left of socialist.

Do you wish to share any reason or opinion that Mark Kelly is not qualified to be Vice President or are you simply disagreeing because you disagree with anything and everything I say on principle?

Tell us.

Crazy person thinks centrist American politician is a communist.

The same crazy person is a fan of authoritarian dictators Putin and Orban.

He’s imminently qualified…I don’t think that’s the question you should be asking yourself. A VP is a balancing act. First and foremost you need to have someone who’ll not upstage your chosen candidate. Second you hope to chose someone from a state that can deliver the biggest bang for your buck electorally.

He’s smart. Astronaut smart. That rules out the first point. He’ll upstage her at every turn as, let’s face it, she’s not that bright. Now Cooper? He looks like Lurch, so doesn’t outshine her. Says stupid shit all the time, and is as milquetoast as they come. He’s your boy.

Better check your talking points. Republicans are urging President Joe Biden to step down immediately, becoz "if you can't run for reelection, you're no longer fit for office". This is simply a ploy to limit the possible length of a Harris administration to 4 years and 5 months maximum due to the 22nd amendment (presuming Harris victory over convicted felon Donald J Trump in November).

In normal times, I'd agree with you.

In today's hyper-polarized society, where ideological battle lines have been formed between Team Red White and Blue (democracy) and Team Orange (fascism), I don't see any way where the selection of a vice president as a running mate would make a scintilla of difference in a given state.

p.s. "eminently"

Yes I know, they are shortsighted and incorrect. Harris is much more dangerous than the Obama surrogates presently directing Joe Biden. I don't think she's electable as President. Simply recall the amount of support she had while running against Joe before he extended her a lifeline to prevent his impeachment. She had to drop out due to a lack of support from her party.

Only an uneducated and completely uninformed person would consider her anywhere near a centrist. You have no credibility.

New York Times: Kamala Harris Is the Least ‘Electable’ Democrat​

Vice President Kamala Harris is the least “electable” among potential Democrats to replace President Joe Biden atop the 2024 ticket, top writers of the New York Times found Monday.

The report underscores Democrats’ lack of a democratic process to select a new de facto nominee — all while nullifying about 14 million votes that were cast for Biden during the Democrat primary.

Many believe the decision to replace Biden amounted to a “coup.” Biden stepped aside on Sunday after top Democrats threatened him with invoking the Twenty-Fifth Amendment to force him out, sources told the New York Post on Monday.

The Times analysis found Harris was the “most risky” and least viable candidate, while Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA), in contrast, would be the most likely to beat former President Donald Trump.

The Times article is linked but it is behind a paywall. But even they know that Kamala as President is a pipedream.

Republicans didn't even try scraping. They literally picked their worst person as candidate.

You have to think like a Democrat. Why would they want a VP smarter than their Presidential candidate? They wouldn't. That's why Biden chose Harris.

This is a contest between the DC swamp rats and the American people.
