I love Pete but NO underpants Jul 2024 #2

Like Kamala was? we can do it Jul 2024 #11

Different election. underpants Jul 2024 #13

Like someone else mentioned, different election. Scranton Joe was "from" ALL the battle ground states. Hassin Bin Sober Jul 2024 #15

There are certainly better strategic choices. Jk23 Jul 2024 #17

Kamala wasn't from a battleground state pinkstarburst Jul 2024 #24

Very true SocialDemocrat61 Jul 2024 #42

Nothing against bdamomma Jul 2024 #25

Mark Kelly checks all of the boxes. Funtatlaguy Jul 2024 #14

I'm for Kelly too. Him being on the ticket could help Ruben Gallego in his run... brush Jul 2024 #30

All for Kelly epreic01 Jul 2024 #41

He also flew 39 combat missions in an A6 from a carrier during Desert Storm BannonsLiver Jul 2024 #66

Pete deserves a promotion -- Sec'y of Treasury or State Bucky Jul 2024 #16

Can't be a gay guy or a Jew. radius777 Jul 2024 #19

I disagree. I think we have enough potential voters to override the homophobes. GPV Jul 2024 #29
