I don't why after Biden was VP everyone wants to pretend VP is a stepping stone to presidency...
All it does is hang the prior candidate around their neck like an albatross. And since Kamala couldn't stop talking about how she'd be Biden 2.0, it's gonna be really hard for Walz to say he's different than those two.
Voters don't want "more of the same". And as soon as Walz announced his VP run, he became "more of the same".
It's going to be really hard to distance himself from all the conservative policies that made Kamala and Biden so unpopular with Dem voters.
Wish the current administration, they definitely want more of the same dumbfuckery.
Lots of former Vice Presidents become Presidents later on. John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Martin Van Buren, Teddy Roosevelt won reelection, Richard Nixon, HW Bush, and Biden, all became presidents in their own right.
So we have Biden, sandwiches between the worst president ever because the primary was a force and we literally had zero options...
Then 37 years earlier when HW replaced Reagan and carried his torch..
So the two examples are the VPs of two of the most charismatic president, and they were both attached to them because their own complete lack of ability to win primaries precluded them from making it to the general?
Like, I'm pretty sure you won't realize you're making my point....
But c'mon man, you really can't see that VP is where presidential ambition goes to die and the only thing that changes it is for their president to have been insanely popular with their own voting base?
You don't even have a little tingle that you're wrong here?
No doubts that maybe the other person knew what they were talking about?
