Pretty sure you also want two Harris Walz terms and him to be challenged for the top of the ticket nod in an open primary as well!

Seven years from now he may be ready, but the Dems have a solid bench of others who will likely also be ready them. I look forward to evaluating them and deciding who we each like then!

Yep. When I was watching the convention, I thought, “You could randomly select almost any of these speakers, and they’d be a better candidate for President than almost all of the Republican options…”
