Of course, but I don't think that him as the VP candidate changes the odds of that much relative to the other contenders who don't come with that risk.
VP candidates don't usually matter much in an election unless they're freaks with a couch fetish or something weird like that.
Assuming Harris wins, the first midterm federal election is usually ugly for the president's party, so it'd be a risk. Especially coming off of this election where dems will have to be extremely lucky just to hold onto the majority (even with the vp tiebreaker).
Not hard to have "unity" when they've worked to purge anyone from the party who disagreed with the cult.
Practice?
Because the prosecution used some tweets from when he was in office to highlight intent, or something like that. The supreme court ruling makes them arguably "official presidential activity" and thus can't be used as evidence. So, any verdict stemming from the use of such evidence is invalid.
I'm in favor of Biden testing the scope of this newly invented supreme court ruling with a few targeted drone strikes, perhaps, but maybe I'm just a bit pissed.
If Biden drops out of the race, the candidate would be Harris. He'd resign, endorse Harris, and it'd get confirmed at the convention. The only "fresh new, younger face" would be the VP pick.
I'm not saying that's a problem, but the idea that that an open floor battle at the convention would be a good idea is nuts, and just discarding the sitting VP like that would probably shatter the democratic coalition.
Ahem, Bush v Gore... bit longer than a decade. They're certainly more shameless now that they have a larger margin, but republican justices have been pushing an agenda for awhile.
Smart cars had to pass US crash test standards and have the appropriate safety equipment. The kei trucks that you can currently import and use are 25+ years old and wouldn't have even passed US standards back then. Your legs are the crumple zone in these things.
I assume that new ones would have a chance, but it'd be expensive for a manufacturer to modify and certify for the US market. Small cars haven't sold well here, and the profit margins are slim.
Maybe with the recent size and price increases in autos here, well see some movement. I'd love a modern Honda kei to go with my element.
They're not silly at all, they're thugs. They want to influence the next one by showing the cost of going against them.
Now, we're lucky that they're mostly grifting, incompetent, blustery cowards, so the risk isn't what it could be.
Gosh, you mean that he's playing by the rules that the republicans have put in place and not unilaterally disarming? How scandalous.
They should flush the entire "money is speech" concept, but until we can replace most of the SC with people who don't suck, we work with what we got.
Oddly, sort of related to some of these same complainers sitting out 2016. Weird how elections can have consequences.
He's Peter Thiel's Peter minion. Thiel has been pushing hard for him and trump really wants access to the enormous pile of cash that Thiel has. Vance has demonstrated that he has no principals beyond sucking up to his sugar daddies for their approval, so he's a perfect fit.
