Tammy Baldwin(D-WI) should be the 2020 Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee.

Baldwin served 6 years in the WI state Assembly(1993-1999), 14 years in the US House(1999-2013) and more than 6 years in the US Senate(2013-present). Baldwin will be the first female and first LGBT Vice President. Baldwin comes from WI, one of the states Democrats need to win. WI currently has a Democratic Governor Tony Evers. If Baldwin becomes Vice President, Evers picks Baldwin's US Senate replacement who will run in the 2022 special Election.
WI US Representatives Ron Kind(WI-3),Gwen Moore(WI-4) and Mark Pocan(WI-2) are the front runners for the US Senate appointment. Other candidates include Lt Governor Mandela Barnes. Attorney General Josh Kaul, and Treasurer Sarah Godlewski.

My pick would be Kathleen Vinehout. But in a follow-up election, her district could go Republican. We're already infested with them.

she told me in the last election...2014 I mean..that the Dem chair Mike Tate(ICK) told her she wasn't pretty enough to run for Gov...so he picks no nothing Mary Burke and denies us a primary...I wanted to cry for Kathleen...she is brilliant.
