Knowing nothing about any of these people (I'm Australian), just going by their photos:
1: The Ghost of Reagan Future
2: Disgraced admiral turned prepper
3: Judge on the next season of MasterChef
The one is the middle is a former astronaut turned senator, which is pretty fun.
Amazingly, Cooper (Reagan clone) is actually pretty sane. I'm from NC, and he's probably one of the best governors we have had. Unfortunately, he has served two terms and can't serve another (Josh Stein is the logical next choice, but the Republicans have been running Mark Robinson hard, who is crazy with a capital K, so we'll have to see), and while I doubt he'll be picked as vp, I would absolutely be happy if he was.
I'm living in NC now, and would totally go with Cooper! He has the experience of dealing with crazy, obstinate conservatives, and he's hitting his term limit so bringing him on wouldn't be taking someone away from a useful position.
Lmao
I would like to see Cory Booker or Pete Buttigieg. Mark Kelly would be okay too though.
