> [@Yankees\_1996\_Champs](#): > > Warren’s seat will go to Gabriel Gomez, and Gomez will keep that seat because Ayanna Pressley can’t win outside of Boston. Is what you’re saying is that you want Warren to be picked so that the Democrats will lose a seat in the Senate? Whose side are you on? And why didn’t you answer my earlier question about McGrath since she’s the actual candidate, not your fantasy one? ---

Well, of course I have a few issues with Trump and McConnell, but I really think what matters most is that the New York Yankees receive the humiliation of their existence in this, the most remarkable year in the history of baseball. ---

Benghazi!? Rice made an early press release that was later corrected. Trump has lied thousands of times without correction. And then there’s that pesky virus thing. Oh yeah Hillary - don’t forget the emails! The Emails! The EEEEEeeeeemails!!! The people who will vote for Rice don’t care. ---

No, when Trump brings it up and polls narrow or tighten in October, Rice will have to address it. Biden is seen as a president who will not last a term, so Republicans will ask voters if they want a President Rice who was involved in Benghazi, it will cancel out the Trump Russia/Ukraine issue. ---

The Massachusetts governor is Charlie Baker, a moderate Republican. Whenever there is a Senate vacancy, governors appoint a person until a special election. Baker will probably appoint a Republican in the Weld/Romney mold, and that person will win that seat until up for reelection and loses to a Democrat. I am an Independent. I want Warren to be picked as VP, she is credible on economics and healthcare. Rice would be a good Secy. of State or so on. ---

Warren can handle Pence in the VP debate. Harris is going to come across as the angry black woman, Rice as well. Whitmer may be too green, and Pence may slam her on the virus response. ---
