5. Choosing A Woman For VP

NO! I caucused for Hillary Clinton in Kansas when I was a Kansas Voter and I mourned and still do when she lost. She would have been a very good President. This is NOT the time to pick a woman VP. Let's wait until Norm (see Doonesbury) is back.
These are not normal times. Pete Buttigieg or maybe, if he can get his mojo back, Beto (who could conceivably get Texas). There are others who would work.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
