    I get why Kamala wouldn’t want him in the administration, but did she even consider it? Like… his housing policy wasn’t bad. Let’s say he brought 3% more voters. That could have been significant. 3% could definitely help beat Kamala with a race this close. I don’t like the guy… and honestly, despite it not being his fault I just can’t stand listening to him speak. I’m wondering now if Trump is actually going to kick JD to the curb.

      He potentially could’ve caused LOST votes if she took him in. He is very unpopular.

        I guess… its a possibility, but very unlikely that Democrats would vote for Trump cause she was having conversations with him. Democrats talk to Republicans all the time and don’t lose votes. Sometimes you have to even work with people you don’t agree with… Imagine that.

      3% is basically the lizardman constant. You can’t assume that voters will so readily jump from one candidate to the other.

        3% is significant. He had like 8 or 9% prior to Biden dropping out. I know he can’t sway all his voters and so that is why I suggested maybe 3%.
