I think Kelly's got to be the VP pick. How do you beat the first woman AND woman of color for President with a side of astronaut? I like Buttigieg (I also like the idea that have a black woman President and a gay VP is a conservative mind explosion), but I think it might just be woke overload for some.
Although I do think the "America won't vote for a black woman or a gay person" thing is itself and outdated idea more perpetuated by media asking about it than by people actually being concerned by it. In fact, as we are seeing with Harris, having a ticket that reflects the electorate more closely is something that is a Boone for people who were disillusioned about voting at all, especially young people. Moderate conservatives under 40 don't care about race or sexual identity or gender. People who won't vote for a black or gay president are already hard republican voters anyways, you have no need to attempt to win them over. It's actually become the reverse where an actual attack on those grounds would be deemed as pretty revolting even to most conservative people. Like if Trump all of sudden starts shouting "look, they got a black girl and a gay guy, amirite?!", that's not going to carry very far.
Still, I'm for the astronaut.
