Honestly, this whole idea of picking running mates just to win specific states feels a bit like political manipulation rather than focusing on who’s actually best for the job. What happened to selecting a VP based on their qualifications and alignment with the presidential candidate's vision for the country? Shapiro might have appeal in Pennsylvania, but it seems a bit shortsighted to bank an entire campaign on one state's electoral votes. I’d rather see a ticket that prioritizes principles and policies that resonate on a national level, not just strategic state wins. Politics should be about genuine leadership and vision, not just playing chess with states to win an election.
