So, now we get to see how many “blue no matter who”’s actually meant it.

Remember folks, it applies to anyone who might be the candidate.

That over…. Harris/AOC or Harris Whitmer !!

You’ve not convinced me. I don’t know why anyone would use that argument if it completely betrayed their feelings. Plenty others you could use which make more sense

If the blue pick is a broken toaster oven, I’m still voting for it rather than tump

I’d vote for a battered cardboad cutout of Reagan over Trump. Hell. I’d vote for a cardboard cut out of trump over trump.

(cardboard cut outs can’t talk.)

Kamala all the way! It won’t be AOC or Whitmer though. Most likely Kelly or Newsom. AOC is the future, though.

Newsome cannot and will not be the VP. Harris is also from California, which would cause issues in the electoral college. Electors cannot cast both the Presidential and vice-presidential ballot for someone from the same state as themselves. Because both Harris and Newsome are form California, it could cause issues, and they might not get the electoral votes from California.

If the ticket is something messed up like Harris/Bob Menendez, or Harris/Blagoyavich, I might have some reservations, but would quickly look past them considering the alternative.

Only problem I have with menendez is that I’m too broke to buy him off.

(I suspect the people who don’t have a problem with him… are rich enough. Funny how that works.)

I think AOC isn’t old enough to be VP. I don’t say that as a matter of opinion. I think you have to be at least 40

Edit: it’s actually 35, but AOC is 34 so I was partially correct

However I think the relevant language is:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

So maybe it’s okay for VP

AOC’s birthday is this October, so I believe she would be eligible just in time lol

She’ll be old enough to be POTUS by inauguration.

So, she’s probably old enough to be VPOTUS…

Irrelevant. The Democrats would never put a progressive in a position where they could be president. They’ll probably go for a centrist like Shapiro or a corporate Dem like Newsom. I’m hoping that they’ll go with Whitmer but they’ll probably shy away from a two woman ticket.

Before I left home this morning, I pointed to the bottle of mustard on the table and told my girl that I would vote for the mustard. We were talking about the rumors of Biden dropping out.

At least the mustard is honest about its color. So are carrots, for that matter. I’d totally vote for a carrot.

What kinda carrot? Chatennay or Danvers?

Yup, I’ll vote for any garden vegetable except for cucumbers and their squash and watermelon relatives. Will make an exception for pickles, they’re one of the good ones.

Don’t know much about carrot varieties other than Queen Anne’s lace is a wild carrot. Know more about taters and tomatoes.

Figure any real carrot would do. I’d totally vote for a beefsteak or better boy tomato over a carrot, however.

As much as I’d love to see it in my lifetime, no way she chooses a female VP. Way too risky.
