It would be a good ticket. I’d be fine with that. But people need to realize that Hunter CANNOT “deliver California.” He wouldn’t even get elected senator there. We can like a candidate and still be realistic about who he is and his real levels of electability.
Hunter might never carry the blue parts of the state, but he could the red parts. I don’t expect him to ‘carry’ the entire state, just thinking of the spread.
Thompson would need to choose someone with experience as a governor, to shore up that hole in his resume. He does not have executive experience in government, which is really needed for the office of the presidency. Just my opinion.
