I don't have the whole story but Michelle is out of the running. Those two bitches haven't gotten along since White House trivia night. Something to do with Kamala's answer to " Who is known as the man in black? " Says she was just kidding .

I can only hope that the risk of losing Kelly's senate seat would be a factor in the consideration. I think he’s the strongest pick. So perhaps that and the scandal of doing a spy balloon company with China will knock him back. His cool fighter pilot and astronaut background can be negated by the spy balloon stuff. We all know the war with China is coming and the spy balloon episode with Biden will tie Kelly back to Biden’s national security failures. It also seriously questions Kelly’s own discernment on security issues. You helped China design spy balloons, then China sails a spy balloon right over our nuclear fields. Really? Kelly didn't help China develop spy balloons. World View wasn't even in the spy balloon when Tencent (the chinese company) invested in them. It was focused on space tourism technology. When the company decided it would be better doing surveillance work for the defense department it cut all ties with Tencent. Tencent never had a seat on the board or involved in the company in any way other than some early financial investment. I am sure Trump will try to use it if Kelly is selected, but I am sure Kelly can handle it. Kelly is very popular and could solidify the blue wall states for Harris. Harris needs Pennsylvania, so I think Kelly or Shapiro needs to be her choice as VP. Tim Waltz is another good choice, but he is a relatively unknown candidate outside of his state. But he could help bring the blue wall vote in as well. If Harris can win Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, she will be the next President. If she loses Pennsylvania, Trump wins. Here is an article from the other side, since you posted the pro-Trump news view. www.axios.com/local/phoenix/2023/02/27/arizona-spy-balloon-china-mark-kelly

He brings a lot, and that's my concern. He hits the fighter pilot/astronaut/devoted husband to gabby Gifford who received brain damage from assanation attempt, as well as his views and connections with Gifford law center, and understanding on border in his state he represents,but the spy balloon company and its involvement with non USA backers may be an issue. It all depends on what amount of media spin is put each of the aspects. mark Kelly NYT articleNYT is a paywall. Can't see the article.

Kelly is good at following orders. And does what his party leaders say. Look at his voting record. As far as being an astronaut, so what? There called a “man in a can” for a reason. A fighter pilot is another story, especially if he has combat experience? I don’t think has any?

What difference does it make who she picks ? Some of you would actually vote for someone in Today's far left Dem party. They should ship some of you assholes out of here.

A fighter pilot is another story, especially if he has combat experience? I don’t think has any? So you don't think being a "man in a can" requires certain skills? You do the man an injustice. Actually you do every astronaut in America a disservice. In reality, your comment “man in a can” is very disrespectful. "In December 1987, Kelly became a naval aviator and received initial training on the A-6E Intruder attack aircraft. He was then assigned to Attack Squadron 115 (VA-115) at NAS Whidbey Island in the state of Washington. He was deployed twice with VA-115 to the Persian Gulf aboard the aircraft carrier USS Midway, which was homeported at Atsugi, Japan. During Operation Desert Storm, Kelly flew 39 combat missions. Following the Gulf War, Kelly received his master's degree and then attended U.S. Naval Test Pilot School from 1993 to 1994. As a naval aviator and test pilot, he has logged over 5,000 hours in more than 50 different aircraft and trapped over 375 carrier landings.[21]" "During his Navy career, Kelly received two Defense Superior Service Medals; one Legion of Merit; two Distinguished Flying Crosses; four Air Medals (two individual/two strike flight) with Combat "V"; two Navy Commendation Medals, (one with combat "V"); one Navy Achievement Medal; two Southwest Asia Service Medals; one Navy Expeditionary Medal; two Sea Service Deployment Ribbons; a NASA Distinguished Service Medal; and an Overseas Service Ribbon.[21][22]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Kelly

Tim Walz has real populist appeal. When speaking he comes across as very likable. I'll vote for him.

Not all Democrats are far left.... An most are not..... But a lot of republicans and left the buildings and are now not republicans... But radical far right, racist nationalists....
The last true Republicans left congress and took the flag with them... There are few hold outs.... But the pubic hairs in both houses are now fascists that are begging for an autocrat to take control and end our Democratic Republic..... We had a good run... But y'all want to end it....
There is no room in today's Republican party for real republicans....

Well, whatever, but all you have to do is look at the 2 different directions , regardless who is pulling the strings . They are so opposite one would have to prefer one over the other . Doesn't mean a person would agree with everything in their party . The issue on the ballot will be the best direction for the Country.
