Kelly-Harris or Harris-Kelly.
Either one of those combinations stomps Trump into the pavement.
Does everyone think those space suits are sexy or is it an American thing?
I wouldn't say sexy. But I'll say this about Kelly;
Mark Kelly is the embodiment of everything that Conservative America thinks it stands for. When white christian families tuck their kids into the bed at night and tell them about people they should be looking up to and idolizing, it's Kelly. War Hero, Fighter Pilot, Astronaut from a family of cops.
The twist that he's a democrat and believes in everything they in reality hate will break MAGA's fucking brain, and (I think) bring in a lot of what I can "non-republican conservatives"; ie, people who are among the 40% of Americans who don't vote because, while they live a christian-conservative lifestyle, they don't necessarily believe in the Republican bullshit.

I see so many suggestions for different people to run in bidens place, and I fear that that may lead to enough disunity for Trump to win an Election
Leaves me curious to see how this will play out
Sounds like Kamala Harris is gonna be the next candidate. Biden's already endorsed her and I'm sure there's some superdelegate bullshit going on that will screw other candidates.
It could be the second time the Democrats field an unpopular and disliked female candidate against Trump.
Do people really feel as sour about Kamala as they did Hilary? Hilary made people feel slimy for voting for her to some degree, she was arrogant and callous.
Don't worry: this place doesn't reflect the general american public in any meaningful way. That said, the general american public is probably a bit confused as well.
I'll throw my 2 cents in: Jon Stewart should make a sketch about how he jokingly accepts the candidacy but then it turns out to be official to his "dismay".
Would be great except for the fact that Jon Stewart himself made a GREAT argument for why the skills to educate and entertain the American public do NOT align with the responsibilities of the office of the president. Those skills DO align with what's needed to successfully address congress, but not with playing the politics game.
He should be the press secretary though
As long as people aren't stubborn and are willing to compromise, we'll be fine
