        Exactly… he’s a geezer. She needed to go with someone younger. If we assume she wins (twice), then Walz will be close to 70 before it is ‘his turn’. What a waste. If Dems had gone with someone younger then they could keep the momentum of the youth support AND they’d have someone ready to take over when Harris is done. Now, they’ll have to start over in 8 years.

          At least he’s a white male (LOUD SIGH)

          (cuz that will improve their polling right?)

          But I bet five bucks in 100 years a biracial woman/person won’t “have” to pick a white male! But for now… just have to imagine that’s the reality on the ground.

          Vice presidents are by no means “next in line” for the nomination. It just happened to work that way this time, but it wouldn’t be weird if Walz was never the nominee.

          I can’t really argue with that. But we really should discourage the VP of the incumbent from assuming the position in theirs.
