Even if she doesn't win, surely she's a decent pick as VP on the GOP ticket?

That presumably depends on whether she believes come 2029 the Veep has the power to throw out all bad electoral votes (i.e. any for the Democrat), tell Congress where to stick its recent legislation and get a Supreme Court ruling if they believe otherwise and then declare the 23rd Amendment repealed and Trump elected for all eternity?

In 2020, I wore a 'Settle for Biden' shirt, but now I think Biden is pretty transformational. I hope he runs in 2024.

Pretty transformational generation of inflation at any rate by printing money like nothing throughout 2021 when what was needed to be restoring supply chains and going back to normal rapidly after the vaccine rollout. For that alone he deserves to lose as it was a very serious mistake. And don't get me started on the "inflation reduction act" which is creating serious uncertainty at work because the drafting is incredibly vague. I don't understand how anyone could rate him as a president. Certainly the worst democrat in my lifetime. In terms of both presentation and results. He isn't Trump I guess.

Not appealing to the libertarian fringe you represent is considered a plus by most electors, I would think.

Biden massively fluffed the Afghan withdrawal, but nevertheless I think he's better on foreign policy than his former boss.

Perception is key, plus we unless you can observe someone doing the job you really don't know how good a job they are doing, or more accurately they and their staff are doing, having great advisers for the time you live in is key to doing the job on the better side. To me Obama is currently overrated and Trump probably underrated in terms of being President, I'll judge Biden fully once he's left but so far he's no worse than his immediate predecessors.

Obama was probably the best actual politician in the last 30 years - an absolute force of nature (leaving aside my personal views). Under his presidency the US left Europe behind economically - and this continued under Trump.

Not appealing to the libertarian fringe you represent is considered a plus by most electors, I would think. The stuff I meant he objectively did an awful job on and inflation is the defining feature of his presidency. It wasn't all his fault - the pandemic did disrupt supply chains and the economy was over stimulated by the time he took power but handing out stimulus well into 2021 was unnecessary and frankly wrong given the end of the 2020-2021 winter and subsequent vaccination campaign marked the meaningful end of the pandemic in the western world. That's nothing to do with my personal opinion. Incidentally, I would have voted for Biden in 2020 because I thought Trump was dangerous - but probably Republican downballot.

Milwaukee and the WOW counties 1992 - 2020. The Dems have not carried Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington counties since 1964, but Biden made big inroads. Still, we may see Wisconsin vote to the right of Arizona in 2024.

Why the Republican Party, whoever they nominate, likely loses the popular vote for a fifth election in a row in 2024

It's quite possible that Trump's 2024 VP pick is either Kristi Noem, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Kari Lake or Nikki Haley
