I think its going to be Cory Booker. After the Pence debacle I recognized that this year’s VP search is still more of a punch-counterpunch situation. The RNC threw the first punch and landed a die-hard conservative and tea party hack who has a history of limiting religious freedoms in the name of preserving religious freedoms. Even a near-racist rag like the National Review didn’t forget that one. This, of course, is where Trump gets his info and likely why he waffled on the pick at the end. So we are greeted with the Icons of Old America (making it great again) vs. Hillary, the first female pres nominee and, well, who else but the black guy?
I wish it didn’t come down to this, but Booker is charismatic and draws votes. I don’t know enough about his policy yet, but I will quickly unravel that history to the core of what he stands for. He’s black, which polarizes a fair number of voters and may serve to energize the democratic base enough to convince people to vote in this election–even when Trump eventually offers them money not to.
