As with everyone else around here I am counting the days to the election, sticking to our family’s political donation commitment, and worrying. But for a lighter moment, let’s play an unrealistic game of creative ticket-building. [WARNING: THIS IS NOT SERIOUS — PLEASE NO FLAME WARS] What unusual combination of leaders would make an unexpected combination? For example, if only AOC were 35-years-old she could run with Buttigieg with a message that they are candidates who will both be alive in 2080 (however, we should stick only to running mates that are Constitutionally viable).
Biden and Obama — if it really were a matter of beating Trump, then even someone who has served the country as much as Barack Obama should be willing to go through the meat grinder again
Buttigieg and Biden — same as above, if it helps beat Trump
Klobuchar and Stacy Abrams — all-female, non-coastal ticket (okay, Georgia has some Atlantic coast, but it’s not northeast like most of the candidates)
Bernie and Bloomberg — the socialist and the mega-billionaire self-funder
Warren and Steyer is similar — both left-wing voices, backed with billionaire self-funding
What are other unusual or creative combinations that come to mind?
