gzt: When you look at how nutty the alternative slate of electors aka false electors scheme was and they almost got away with it - praise be to Mike Pense for not validating that - it is not hard to imagine similar crazed shenanigans for constitutional amendments. It's not out of the question at all.
Yes, people are quick to judge or critique him purely by association, but the man had ethics when it really mattered and again in not endorsing DT this time.
re VP, whilst the actual job isnt always full on when in office, right now is the time a good VP can make or break you. Given DT gets away with anything, literally, Vance his doing his best to lose him votes. I think people, especially the opposing VP, make it clear if you vote DT, at 78yo, there is a high chance you are voting for Vance, more over knowing the Repubs have proven they are going to try and take away your Freedom and right to Vote.
Just on the Dem VPs, some are now saying its between Kelly and Shapiro. Making a play for Arizona is tempting, but if you take Kelly, you remove one Dem senator. along with Pennsylvania being a 19 count state, and one you have to win, I think Shapiro for me is the obvious choice, being quick of wit and can be sharp with the tongue, which is what Harris needs.
But dang, there are at least ten good candidates for the democrats, Trumpet could only come up with Vance who is the least favorable in modern history from what I can work out.
Harris within a week has raised $200M, 2/3 of which is from NEW donors. That is incredible. along with an additional 170000 volunteers.
El gore endorsed Harris with glowing compliments about taking on big oil companies and winning etc and Chuck Schumer on "Face the Nation" said Trumps choice of running mate was "incredibly bad" and he goes on to say Trump has 10 more days to decide to dump Vance before the Ohio Ballot is locked in, siting what else might come out of the Vance closet.
