    Don't for a second think he didn't ask Netanyahu to take her out.

    It’s incredibly hard to find a leader who can attack, win and then not overplay their hand. We’ll see.

    I like Roy Cooper a lot. He's been in my life in NC for almost as long as I can remember. And I think Roy looks awesome on paper. But when he makes his first speech, I think the national audience is going to be like, "Wait, who is this Mayberry?" Maybe that works, and maybe VP choice never matters. But people who don't know him are going to think he's Tim Kaine.

    Cooper is older than me, and thus, too old.

    I'm sure he'd be OK, but he'd be 75 at the end of a second term. No more of that. Certainly he should be nabbed for a key cabinet post.

    I'm thinking Kelly would be the best VP pick -- certainly on his own merits, and also from the angle of bringing Gabby Giffords into the mix. I watched an interview she did a few days ago and she'd be great.

    I keep hearing how ,La needs to pick a Southerner for her VP. I suppose Cooper makes more sense than Beshear. Maybe?

    Been reading a bit about Walz that makes sense for VP. Many of the same Cooper qualities. I can see any of the people mentioned as a good choice.

    It’s an important choice, especially with the Vance pick.

    It’s clear trump is too old and will die in office if he wins. And trump is already in severe mental and physical decline. And he picked a dolphin-porn loving couch fucker who can barely tolerate his non-white wife. So a vote for trump is a vote for that chucklefuck. Pay attention undecided voters.

    The Harris VP pick, any of them mentioned, will be a normal, stable capable person in contrast with probable President Flipper the Couch Fucker.

    Cooper's age might actually make him more attractive because, like Cheney to W, he won't be a threat to run for president after Kamala.

    Kelly has a checkered record on unions and it's uncertain whether he'd toe the Biden-Harris line.

    I think Walz is the best-spoken of the bunch. I'm on Team Walz, but I could live with Cooper as veep.

    It was mentioned the other day that if Cooper sets a toe outside NC, Robinson takes the helm. Upon reflection, I'm not too worried about that. It's not like in today's world something could slip through. If the state leg super majority and Robinson tried to rat fuck something, it's not like Cooper wouldn't hear about it and could be back in the state in a matter of hours.

    I think Mark Kelly brings in the undecided voters and is a great complement to Harris.

    He would appeal to moderates and independents. He is tougher on border security, for sensible gun control, is the son of two cops, husband of popular Gabby Giffords and was a fighter pilot and astronaut.

    He also apparently has a good relationship with Harris.

    Put it this way, Trump and Republicans probably would love to have him as their VP.

    Isn't Kelly anti-union?
