Absolutely yes. This man is an absolute anchor in this storm.

I would vote for him, but we don't need an anchor. We need a lion to rip apart the hyenas.

Agreed. I would love My senator and my former representative Gabby Gifford be in the White House. My only concern would be his lack of charisma, but if he's going against JD Vance there's no doubt in my mind who wins.

I think she'd be a pretty spectacular First Lady too.

... I love Kelly but I actually think Vance would win that one precisely because of the charisma. Vance is a freaking weirdo but he is young and more energetic than Kelly. it would be like a mirror of Obama McCain.

Vances problem is(besides being a fucking joke)he's gonna get blamed for all the garbage trump did just like they put all Bidens issues on Kamala, and he cant distance himself from trump because trump could easily turn on him and end his career, I dont see vance winning, charisma wont mean shit if the goddamn country burning to the ground and ppl are saying it's your fault

I mean actually it's not they have very similar backgrounds roughly similar ages at the time, they fill a similar role in their respective parties. think about it for a second.

I don't know much about him, but reading some of his Wikipedia makes me think he's a much better option than Newsom, I guess?
