    Warren is the right choice, but I will be absolutely shook if he actually picks her.

        This is something that initially worried me, but in a world where Joe Kennedy is acting in good faith, he could run for Warren's seat in a special election and stop his ridiculous primary run...

        Another issue with Warren is that her Senate seat is in a state controlled by a Republican governor, so there is a risk that Gov Baker appoints a Republican. This is particularly worrisome in an election where every single Senate seat matters.

        This is something that initially worried me, but in a world where Joe Kennedy is acting in good faith, he could run for Warren's seat in a special election and stop his ridiculous primary run against Markey. The Kennedy name alone practically guarantees a win in Massachusetts.

        Harris also did amazing during the debates.

        The debates are where Harris lost me the most. She had some moments early on (most notably against Biden himself), but she had two major blunders where she clowned herself:

        1. That absurd display of raising her hand to signify support for M4A and later pretending she misinterpreted the question to mean that she'd accept a government plan just for herself only.

        2. When she noted that important topics don't get discussed in the debates because of so little time, then proceeded to blow all her speaking time trying to convince Warren to support getting Trump banned from Twitter.

    Call me crazy, but I think Yang would be his best option. Not going to happen, he's already committed to a female VP, which is awesome too. I just think Yang would bring more to that position than...
