10. Biden at the top of the ticket, could mentor Kennedy in foreign relations

and clean up the shitpile that this administration has made of our relations with our allies. Serve one term, then Kennedy could serve 2. He would start in a much better and stronger position then.

7. Maybe he's open to rethinking his position.

I wouldn't cross off any potential presidential candidate just because of where they get their funding. In today's political market any successful campaign will burn through millions of dollars just to reach the GE. Until public funding curbs the insane expense, that's the system we have to deal with.

any dem that was breathing would get my vote. but that's a low bar. right now anyone running should be held to some demands from us since we pay for the whole shebang in the long run.
