The next time the Democrats run a woman for President, the Vice-President needs to have BDE. Tim Kaine was chosen because of Virginia, at the time, being considered a purple State, Tim Walz was chosen for Mid-West connection. Forget the geographic consideration in such a nationalized environment. If Americans are going to vote for a strong mom, there better be a strong dad out back barbequing some steaks.
And, ignoring what I just said about geography, Pennsylvania was lost by 16,000 votes out of seven million cast, 0.2% of the vote. A MDE of Shapiro could have made the difference in a race like that, tanking the Big Ugly Bill and making flipping the Senate this year a lot easier. (Although I don't support Shapiro's position on Israel which might have cost the Democrats Michigan because Elissa Slotkin barely won that race.)
Anyway. BDE is needed if a woman is running as President. If I can be crass (and very British) for moment, there are a group of American men and women who will vote for one pussy on a ticket, but not two.
