My contention is that VP candidates do very little, but the best asset for a candidate or VP is their speaking ability to help sell the Prez's agenda. And Buttegieg is fantastic even in front of Fox News interviewers.
I also like that him being the VP candidate wouldn't open up a state-level race in a swing state that would cost money and potentially backfire.
I am team Beshear, he has the experience of being a red state governor, he’s young, and him vs. JD Vance, someone who claims to be from Appalachia would be very good.
I suspect the inherent misogynoir of our country will mean VP pick of a white man to counterbalance Harris’ intersectionality, but Whitmer would be awesome. Swing state Gov; has survived a coup/assasination attempt.
Melissa was making this same point to me last night.
Walz is the top candidate if you want a guy who's entire vibe is: "Republicans are weird creeps. Cmon man, just go throw the ball with your kid and stop being weird." Which, you know is a real tactic.
