15. I'd really like to hear/see "the short list"

Fri Jul 31, 2020, 10:32 PM

Jul 2020

The last few VP picks haven’t come with a lot of study- if really like to see a list of perhaps five to eight that are seriously being considered, so that we all could hear, see, and debate who they are, and the advantages and disadvantages of each, BEFORE he makes his pick.

I wasn’t pleased with Harris earlier, but the more I hear and look at her, the more comfortable I am that she could handle it. But I want that same study for the others. I heard Duckworth, but I think she is too new on the Senate level. I’d like someone with more years of experience, I think. There are other good candidates as well. Can we please get a short list together, and maybe start talking about them in a “shortlist “ thread?
