Another thought regarding Vance on the court. Too often candidates get selected from the DC Appeals court. No one has heard of them. Once in the nomination spotlight individual senators have to showboat their negative opinions and no one knows if the lies are true or not. When a sitting senator gets nominated the ‘club’ atmosphere’ takes effect and it becomes less contentious. JD is not an obscure one of 100. He’s out there enough for everybody to see. Americans have a good sense of what’s fair and I don’t thing they’ll allow unfair treatment of someone who’s duly elected by a majority of voters.
Voters could conclude Trumpism’s rough edges could go away with JD not being around to succeed him. Marco has the charm and DeSantis has that hands-on executive experience to continue conservative policies without the kinder/gentler bs.
How do you all feel about Puerto Rican statehood and more Democrat senators??
That’s what you get with Rubio.
Harris also suggested considering “statehood for Puerto Rico and DC,”
