    Jennifer Rubin is making the argument that it should be two women, like Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, a good German women. 

     

    That would work! 

    I gotta think Whitmer is smarter than this

    Shapiro would be a smart pick. 
     

    Not sure Whitmer guarantees Michigan, but I think Shapiro makes PA much, much tougher for Trump/Vance. 
     

    That being said.. it would be an anomaly as historical evidence shows VP picks typically do not deliver a state. 

    What is the risk to Shapiro, Whitmer, or any other with aspirations of being POTUS one day, in joining this ticket with KH?

    Yes we're producing more oil.  But why do you suppose we're paying more for gas?  Why are we dangerously depleting our SPR?

    Has Biden and his policies (and EOs) hurt production? I think the obvious answer to this question is absolutely. Dems simply pointing to production is a lazy response to this issue.

    He reneged on that once Trump came to power, so it's the opposite to me. 

     

    "Oh, you're in power now? Yes, sir! Whatever you want, sir!"

     

    I'd prefer someone who's strategically reserved and toes the line rather than someone who just flip-flops to different extremes. That's the hallmark of someone who can't think for themselves.

    I guess the way I see it are the repubs that don't like trump can either disengage or engage and fix the party from within. I'm glad those that expressed a dislike for trump are trying to become part of the fix. Trump is done after this term

    The challenge beyond that is the govt fixation on avoiding transparency at all costs.  When you consider there are still unknown from the Kennedy assassination 61 years ago, what is the likelihood the Biden admin provides a truthful accounting of what happened?  Given the state of his campaign, his mental state,  lights out by 8 approach to leadership, and the fact that the target was his hated opponent, it’s probably more natural than not to consider a conspiracy in play.  

    Yep, if the govt doesn't connect the dots, the masses will

    Interesting stuff here that got leaked.  Phone call between RFK & Trump. 
     

     

    I agree with some of his opinions here.

    I consider myself a moderate Republican and I don't think it helps at all. Youngkin would've been the right choice to bring moderates over. Isn't that how he won Virginia?

    I'm also a moderate repub and I disagree. I do agree that Youngkin would have been better IMO

    Now that I'm more informed on the situation, I think Trump already had the JD Vance crowd locked up. Doesn't really move the needle like pandering to the people of color, women, etc voters. Poor hicks in the middle of nowhere Ohio were already team Trump

    I don't know. I think this helps with younger voters and more moderate repubs (rinos)

    What do you think of the Eastman plan to refuse to have Pence refuse to certify the election, send the certifications back to certain states, and have the Republican legislatures of those states certify alternate (Trump/Pence) slates?

    That plan relied on finding loopholes in the constitution and the statutes implementing it. It was a cynical effort to misread the object and purpose of the law without expressly violating any specific term of it. Pence's own counsel found it to be an unconstitutional stretch.

    I am not arguing the ultra-legalistic "Poindexter" (haven't heard that since I was a kid!) approach. The Eastman ploy was based on a cynical misreading of the constitution (as the California State Bar has found). Cannon's decision here is also based on a cynical "Poindexter-ish" missing-the-forest-for-the-trees misreading of the Appointments Clause.

    Wasn't the issue those states constitutions and statutes and rules not being followed?
