    I think Whitmer is fantastic, but I don’t agree that she’s an appropriate and pragmatic choice here. The running mate should be a white, middle-aged, heterosexual, vaguely religious dude, specifically to try to allay the concerns of the various idiots in this country who will be unsure about a “colored lady” being the president. It’s a big part of why Obama went with Biden as a running mate, after all.

      Yep. It doesn’t feel great, but it would be in service to the greater good. After all, these racist boomers and their outdated beliefs will eventually die off…

        I’ve been saying that for 20 years and it hasn’t happened yet.
