Kamala



 Kamala Harris is the right candidate at the right moment at this time for our country.

Make no mistake about it, Trump and his sorry pick for Vice President J. D. Vance are history. 

In just one week Kamala's campaign has raised 200 million dollars. 

Her campaign has 170,000 new volunteers. 

Now Donald Trump is the OLD MAN of the presidential campaign who can't complete a sentence.

Trump's vice presidential choice, J.D Vance has shown himself to be the phony that he is. His disparaging remark about "Childless cat ladies" shows his stupidity.  Vance has less charisma than Florida governor Ron DeSantis, and that was a low bar. Vance thinks that people with kids are more entitled to more voting power than childless couples. Don't be surprised if Trumps tries to dump Vance from his ticket. 

Is our country read for a female president? 

YES!

Is our country ready for a multi-racial president?

YES!

Now who for vice president?

My personal choice is Pete Buttigieg. Everyone agrees he is personable, intelligent and an excellent communicator. But the elephant in the room is that......wait for it.....Pete is gay! Do I think he could be elected vice president? At first thought I had my doubts but now after seeing him on TV and the reaction to him from many sections of the public, YES, I think he could be elected. But I have to be practical. There is and always will be (or at least until they die out) a segment of our population who will never accept a gay man as vice president or president. But here's the good news, I believe there is even a larger segment of our population, both gay and straight who WOULD vote for Pete Buttigieg. It's going to certainly be interesting to see who Kamala chooses as her vice presidential choice.

My second choice is Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro. My Jewish friend Stuart doesn't think this country would accept a Jewish vice president but I disagree with him. I think our country would. 

Josh Shapiro is a very popular governor of a state, Pennsylvania, which is a key swing state. 

Another name mentioned often is Arizona senator Mark Kelly. Senator Kelly checks a lot of boxes; white male, former astronaut, and a senator from another key state. But Mark Kelly has one big problem........ZZZZZZZ. He's boring. Not his fault but just is an aspect of his personality. I hope Kamala doesn't make the same mistake that Hillary Clinton made when she choose her vice president, Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia. Oh Hillary, you were so unlikeable and you choose a ZZZZZZZZ senator as your running mate? Please Kamala, DON'T choose Mark Kelly as your running mate. Go big, choose Pete!

These days I'm sleeping much better knowing that Kamala Harris will be the next president of the United States. 

Next up, expand the Supreme Court to twelve judges to nullify the corruption that is now so apparent on the Supreme Court with the lopsided 6-3 conservative Republican majority who are focused on taking our hard fought freedoms away. 

It's not written in stone or the Constitution that there only be nine Supreme Court justices. There are 13 appellate courts that sit below the U.S. Supreme Court. There are 94 federal judicial districts that are organized in 12 regional circuits, each of which has a court of appeals. Time to update the Supreme Court and end the corruption so clearly displayed by Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.

Happy Monday!!

Love me some Pete. Would he be a great choice? I hear so many facets of how to pick the better VP. Some say to do away with the norm of "balancing the ticket" and others proclaim that picking a VP candidate due to some swing state or state in play is pandering and should not be done. As VP Harris stated, we are moving forward and not going back? Could Pete do the job? Bet your bottom dollar he can. He is smart and quick on his feet. He would be a bold choice and most certainly move things forward. I don't want to hear this business of America is not ready for a gay VP. Says who? The favorable acceptance of gay/gay marriage is over 50%. I say do it. Break the mold on the traditional.

I have been hearing some rumblings of Shapiro and a sexual harassment case. I did some digging--- https://whyy.org/articles/pennsylvania-josh-shapiro-mike-vereb-sexual-harassment-settlement/ --- This should come out in the vetting and may even take him out of the running. Kamala does not need the distraction.

Have a great week!!

Vic,
I hope Kamala doesn't pick Mark Kelly of Arizona. He's a fine man but she has to keep the momentum going. A bold choice like Pete would be over the moon. I actually think we underestimate the American voter. I do think Pete could get elected. Kamala probably won't choose Pete for her vice president but she should definitely choose him as her Security of State.
I don't believe the Josh Shapiro sexual harassment rumors. That's from the Republicans. I don't put anything past them.
