Kudos though, you raised some possibilities I hadn't thought of.
We can agree to disagree on Kelly because I think he's the best thing they've got this second. Shapiro has an Obama-style that would resonate, but he's in his first term as governor but given that democrats are rolling with a dude who is senile versus a sociopath I feel like even if he got the nod right now people would overlook his newness. My main point is that Trump and his VP are both going to be from safe red states, meanwhile democrats have major players in states like PA, AZ, GA, and MI which are election-deciders these days.
Right now Biden looks like the prosecutors in the OJ Simpson or Casey Anthony trial. It's like...you know the other side is bad and guilty and unrepentant, but you give them a pass for just being "what they are" and you are content in letting them get away with murder because you just so badly want to see the smug, arrogant, and incompetent "system" fall flat on its face.
I'm right back to where I was when Biden declared he was running for a second term. I realize it's irrational and I'll probably (again) calm down a bit, but I can't control his winning or losing so if he blows it I may as well get some shameful enjoyment out of him stepping on the rake because his head was thrown all the way back in self-satisfaction. Or I could be wrong, or he could win. It's knee-jerk stuff, as I said.
