He handles that so well. His interview on the daily is worth listening too as well. If things were different in our world, he should be the guy.
If the Dems had gone to a contested convention, he would have been a really interesting candidate (maybe... he might think '28 is a better time for him, but that planning rarely works). I also think he'd be a good VP... but think you have to pick someone who can carry a battleground state (or 2... or 3).
I think Shapiro is going to end up the VP... PA is too big a state to not use his popularity. He should also help with MI, WI, and MN. He's a very pragmatic guy who is about as middle of the road as you can get. A dem who discusses school vouchers, lower corporate tax rates, and hiring more cops? That's why his approval is over 60%... he's practical and uses common sense.
It's also why the Right is scared... with some talk of Trump dumping Vance (I can't see it...). Shapiro would be a tough draw for Vance in a debate. Vance is a smooth talker, but Shapiro could hold his own and target issues that Vance has zero experience with.
No complacency. Everyone absolutely expected Hillary to easily win.
I'd be interested in swing state/electoral college numbers much more than popular votes.
I'm positive, "the lone caller in the wilderness" (Tucker Carlson) will seek to re-invent himself. As a family-man, or hermit, perhaps.
I guess I wasn't completely wrong with my assertion, back when he was being kicked out by Fox.
"Tucker Carlson is unstoppable. Since his sudden departure from Fox News he scores record viewer ratings. In an exclusive interview with (the Swiss) Weltwoche, the political media star demolishes the mainstream media’s manipulation machine, reveals his concerns about a potential Donald Trump Restoration, he speaks about the disturbing state of the Biden family and discusses what’s next for him in a Post-Fox News Order."

Don't F with someone who's smarter than you, Sean. You can stop this after a few minutes when they commentator comes in to be The Main Character. Sheesh.
Hannity's a hack entertainer, not a newsman...but to try to argue Biden has put us on a solid path forward in terms of the economy and immigration...is pretty dubious. He's thrown plenty of borrowed $ at the economy (a s-t fix which also contributed to inflation), and other than that continued most of trump's trade positions. There is IRA, but it will do nothing to impact inflation, and too much of the climate type investments are misguided, putting the horse ahead of the cart. I'm not convinced they will work, especially once the Repubs return and overturn it.
I'm not ready to disagree on this, but I do remember how the most qualified person in our lifetime to be the President was disparaged as much as is humanly possible to prevent her from being elected. I wonder how much of Harris is really incompetent or if she's the victim of a media inertia like how President Ford was (not really) a stumblebum. Or that Trump was a super genius. It's all media and money and salesmanship, or even a meme that catches on, so it's hard to know if you're really getting the objective and full picture.
That said, it should be relatively easy to prove with accomplishments and videos that she's doing a great job, and that's not happening. Thrown under the bus by her own team, it seems. And that's a bad sign.
He's not the only option, but I think people have a real issue with the first woman President coming in the back door (so to speak). Folks won't say it out loud but for undecided voters, I think it's a can of worms best left closed. In this situation, I think Joe needs a "young Biden", and Newsom fits that bill better than anyone (probably even old Joe).
I don't see Whitmer or Klobuchar as moving the conversation away from "a vote for Joe is really a vote for Kamala, or Gretchen, or Amy to be the next President". It doesn't have the same impact when you use Gavin in the sentence.
Maybe they are afraid of losing women/black voters if they pull the plug on Harris. Plus they already are printing up merch/campaign products.
