As Trump is about to accept his third consecutive GOP nomination for president, Biden is off the campaign trail with Covid.

    Who would be Harris’ VP pick?

      She’d probably pick a straight white guy to try to defuse some bigotry concerns, but in my fantasies she picks Katie Porter.

        My dream vote goes to Pete B. Though I’d guess they save him for a Presidential run.

          Wall Street Pete is always there when corporate needs a railroad accident covered up!

          Pete has dropped his ice cream in every race he’s been in. He’s snakebit for some reason that I can’t reckon, and I’m not sure it’d be wise to run him unless he can really show that he’s figured out a secret sauce to get people engaged. Not a bad vp pick, though.

            He’s a pretty amazing off-the-cuff orator, however. He’s be great in a VP debate.

            Isn’t he gay?

            Let’s be real here, that should not matter, but it does to a lot of people.

              That could be more an advantage with those on the left than it is a detriment for the bigots on the right or the middle. It is a valid point, though.

              Yeah. I want to pretend that wouldn’t matter. =/

              That whole “yes I want to take your guns bit” is a really bad look.

            Regrettably he is far too smart and not politically savvy.

              Yeah, he’s a policy nerd. I like policy nerds, and I’m mostly happy with the job he’s done in the FDOT, but policy nerds don’t tend to fare well in our elections.
