We have a 25th Amendment. I’m comfortable with how it works. And deeply uncomfortable with doing experimental jazz outside of it. On one side, I know what the line of succession looks like, and while I don’t love cops, I’m okay with her non-cop work. The other side is a shit show with nothing.

Yeah. We're not going to get a chief executive who isn't a cop. A non-institutionalist can't get near the institutional seat of power, and the chief prosecutor and the heads of every federal cop agency answer to the president. So, it's, like... what else have they've got?

I'd vote for her. I'm definitely not keen on convention-floor chaos.

I didn't like her as DA (ran to the right), or anything subsequently, but I don't see any other sane path to a democratic inauguration in January. I'd love a choice, but I don't think that will work out.

And The Other Side has just as much risk for a critical failure in its candidate (possibly higher because yes, exercise matters while 3 years doesn’t at those ages) but absolutely no indications of intent for succession. If anyone’s in disarray, it’s the ones who don’t even have a VP yet.
