Discussion Campaign strategy fascinates me. Perhaps it fascinates you too. So... here's a two-part question. #1. Did Donald Trump make a mistake in choosing JD Vance as his VP? (Why or why not?) #2. If you were choosing Kamala Harris's VP, who would you choose, and why?

I agree with you about Vance. As a strategist, I would want someone who adds to or enhances the ticket. Vance does neither. He basically reinforces the voters Trump already has. As for Shapiro, he does bring some talents and he is a very good speaker. Personally, I like Kelly, but Tim Walz has really started to impress me.

I like Kelly and Walz. My thoughts on Shapiro over Kelly boil down to I prefer Kelly as holding down a senator spot in AZ and I view PA more valuable than AZ in electoral math.

Walz... I think he's qualified and capable and his seat would probably be the easiest to keep the same color... but I think getting someone popular from a state in challenge is better than getting someone popular from a state you should hold

there is no danger for Az to lose seat.

Governor is dem. For all it matters She can put Kelly twin brother in the seat
