That's the Ticket

 

Canada has a convenient outlet now for escaping the current atmosphere of growing social dysfunction and government overreach: Pierre Poilievre; with Max Bernier too helping move the Overton window. The US seems in worse shape.

Most Americans, according to polls, do not want to see another matchup between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. I don’t either. Biden is senile and grossly corrupt. Trump is divisive, so hated by the other side a second administration is likely to increase rather than prevent social strife. But the American system seems to be herding them towards this choice.

The ideal ticket for the Democrats, for ending the strife, would be RFK Jr., with Tulsi Gabbard for VP. A dream ticket.

The ideal ticket for the Republicans is trickier. The all-out assault on Trump from the left makes it essential now that he be at the top of the ticket, to ensure such tactics do not continue. To balance things out and bring peace to the Republican Party, I say the best pick for running mate would be Chris Christie. Christie is a great attack dog; and accepting the nomination would cancel out his criticisms of Trump for the general. For Trump, it would show magnanimity, which might reassure some with TDS. Get into line, and all may be forgiven.

But neither ticket is going to happen, sadly.
