The bench is actually pretty deep, with Pete Buttigieg, Ruben Gallego, and Chris Murphy. Current governors also include Wes Moore, Jared Polis, and Tim Walz (and as mentioned, Whitmer). And I wouldn't count out Harris (seriously, she has near-universal name recognition, a deep national fundraising network, and strong support among core Democratic constituencies, particularly Black voters and suburban women}. Any of these would be centrist enough to appeal to most Americans and all would be strong VP candidates (no, probably not Harris).
And I don't try to sort it out at this stage. It gets interesting a year before the election, because you get the run up to the official nominee. HC should know this and I don't know why he is frothing at the mouth, but he is, that's why I greyed him out.
It's much more interesting watching the slow collapse of Trump. It's happening slowly. Last night I had a lady tell me that Trump has negotiated the price on drugs down to where in April we will pay the same as Europe does for a drug. I agreed with her that we helped fund the research but paid the most - capitalism at work, we have the finest capitalists, the bestest.
