    The veepstakes *feel* silly, but the left just learned (twice!) how hard it is to beat an incumbent president’s heir apparent in a primary. A youngish moderate veep could theoretically lock the left out of power til 2036 (two Biden terms, two veep terms).

        "Oh well, we can win again in 2028." *Vice President Meg Whitman wins SC primary based on black voter enthusiasm for Biden* "Ah, well. Next time!"

        I don’t know how more people aren’t trying to stop this. The republicans who come after Trump is gone will be more dangerous because they are just as cruel but twice as effective. Imagine one of them cementing the trump base by picking djt jr or ivanka as Veep?

        I dunno -- given Biden's advanced age, don't the Veepstakes take on more importance than in other years?

        Yes, but apparently we’re not supposed to say such things out loud.

        Dave (understandably) assumes that might go out the window once he's been elected that first time.
