    As much as I would have liked to see her make a strategic pick who could help her win an at risk state like Arizona or Pennsylvania, he has less baggage than Shapiro.

    I think too, there’s strategy in a non-strategic pick. The cynics would have said “Oh, she only picked Shapiro because she needs Pennsylvania” or “Yeah, yeah, he’s an astronaut, but she wants Arizona”.

    In this case? I think he’s going to be a delight to watch. He’ll devastate Vance in the debate.

      Yeah I think thats right. I read recently that a VP pick being from a given state doesn’t help with the vote; meaning you don’t get the state your VP is from. Hasn’t happened since the 60s or some such. At most a 1% bump, which aint nothin, but it aint the game either.

      If the chickenshit Vance doesn’t duck out of the debate, that is. The weirdos are scared.
