Californian here! I have been loving her since the day I watched her dealing with Trump during the pandemic. Her life was even at risk when a group of extremists tried to kidnap her. She is beautiful and tough. Glad to read your message!
She forced stores to rope off aisles in stores like arts and crafts in the same stores as groceries during Covid because she felt they weren’t necessities (despite kids staying home). She denied citizens from boating until her husband got busted, and she denied citizens from traveling up north until it was time for her holiday. Most of all she shoved Covid patients into nursing homes killing seniors in those facilities. Still proud and happy of the “great” job she did. This Michigander say no.
Kamala Harris has my vote but I don't think having a ticket with a gay man as vice president and African Asian woman choice for president will win. Pete also has twins less than five years old. I wish it was a different time but it's not. I'm being practical- I think Mike Kelly the former astronaut is the best VP alongside Kamala.
@@Sbannmarie And it's that kind of shallow thinking that this campaign is trying to overcome. You may be correct in your assumption but we need to fight against the temptation to think and act in the past and try to forward think. This is the opportunity to do just that. Whoever the VP picks as her running mate will be an excellent choice based on the choices available.
Imagine a world were election campaigns were limited to only 3 months, elections were limited to public funding and the media was required to provide a limited amount of airtime in the public interest for campaign ads. Also image the president being elected by the national majority so candidates had to compete for the most votes in every state instead of just blitzing a half dozen swing states that decide elections.
So I largely agree with this, but moving from the electoral college to the popular vote wouldn't change the blitzing of a handfull of swing states, it would just change what states a blitzed. You can't be everywhere, so you have to choose where you think you can run up votes. Would be Texas, Califonia, Florida, New York, Illinois, Massachussets
Campaigns of shorter duration, public funding and "The Fairness Doctrine" were once part of the landscape, but Special Interests, lobbies and the Operators saw to it that those relics of the past went away. Too many like it just the way it is.
That is an electoral process that I, and much of the electorate, would welcome. Imagine the Supreme Court decision on Citizens United (that corporations are people) being overturned, that elections weren't overly-influenced by dark money and millionaire/billionaires, and that we weren't fast becoming an oligarchy with unlimited potential for bribery. Then we might have a better chance of electing leaders who truly had the best interests of the voters in mind.
Gretchen Whitmer showed very clearly why she is such a highly respected governor. She is poised, honest and has terrific communication skills. I would be delighted if Harris picked her to serve as vice president.
What about that time when she told everyone during covid that they had to lock down and stay home but she got to go out to bars and out to dinner with her friends? Is that honest?
@@LordVader407what you're stating is literally a contradiction: you can't simultaneously lock down and stay home, while also having lots of bars and restaurants that you can go to with friends. I live in a province in Canada that closed bars and restaurants for a period of time when we did have to lock down and stay home. So what you're saying makes absolutely no sense so clearly it's a lot more nuanced than what you're claiming. No doubt it was probably a recommendation but not mandatory.
@@stephen-wahl how about you just go look into it. Then you'd see the contradiction isn't mine. It's what happened. If you promote a thing and then not do said thing................ Right?
How do you have respect for her when 4 of the top most violent cities in the country are hers? Aren't the leaders supposed to keep us safe? She sure don't do that.
Gretchen witmer really does have a awesome 🤩 sense of humor so does madam president Kamala Harris diaper convict don doesn’t have a sense of humor.! 8:15
The VP winning the Presidency is critical but winning the House and Senate is just as important. Remember Obama's hands being tied when the Republicans owned both?
Geez people, she said, at the beginning of the damn interview, that she's going to serve out her term as Governor in MI, and is not herself in the VP running. Why are people ignoring the clear answer she gave, to the first question asked of her?!?
Number 1 Walz for me as he has strong Mid West and blue collar appeal with his down to earth style, strong on labor, excites younger and female voters with his policies. Strong speaker. Followed by Beshear and Pritzker. While Shapiro helps with Pen he hurts Michigan and Wisconsin. Kelly if you want to go very centrist, which I don't think is the right move, and mediocre speaker. Cooper lacks charisma.
She was asked to answer the question yes or no, her response was that she had communicated with the people around her that she would stay on as governor until the end of her term. When asked if she would change her mind, she said her FOCUS is on being the co-chair. I think we can make of that what we will.
And by the way... Nate Burleson is a freaking phenom man. I absolutely LOVED him on GMFB. And i was mad when he left. But he has always had the chops for the big-boy stuff. He's found his mark. He's utterly remarkable. A phenom. Where Nate goes, i'll watch!
Personally, I think Vice President Harris should pick Michigan Governor Whitmer to be her V.P. since I feel the 2 of then could win against Trump & Vance in November.
@@Maoli2013more men vote in elections just a fact if there’s 2 women on a ticket it’s a fact they will lose. Dems need to pick a white male in order to win
So excited to see Gov Whitmer on this platform and promoting her book. She's one of the most consistent , useful and approachable governors that Michigan has experienced. #puremichigan #governorwhitmer #womeninpolitics #sidsimone

She sounds fantastic in the way she represents herself, and her message. I propose a trade. Florida will give Michigan DeSantis, Rick Scott, and Marco Rubio, plus 100 million dollars for Whitmer. That's a good deal, yall should take it, he he!
You seriously asked her why no TV ads? 😂😂😂 Wake up, we only watch you on youtube, no one really watches Tv in it’s pure form anymore. 🙄 Waste of money, both for people and for the campaign.
congratulations and good luck presidential candidate Kamala Harris , and her family future running mate, but reports have said Gov Gretchen Whitmore doesn’t have an the desire , interest in running for Vp right now but I still would find it hard to believe that she would literally turn down Harris potential offer to be one her staff /Vp outta Michigan if she called her directly , I think. She might change her mind if the going got tough
In Michigan, many hold Governor Whitmer in high regard. It's advisable for all involved in "auto-related jobs" to be informed. Donald Trump could have a more detrimental impact than George W. Bush, who had a negative effect on the state's economy. Presenting solid facts and figures is the most effective approach for those influenced by biased sources like disgraced Fox News
Vote blue we need more people coming in the country and no more oil companies. 10$ gas 10$ loaves of bread and we need more Muslims in Michigan and she should step aside and let a black woman be governor
She would be phenomenal however, there’s no way that people are going to put two females on the United States president and vice president ticket. Unfortunate. But we really need Whitmer to stay where she’s at and there will be a time for her in the future but it’s not for her we might’ve lost our democracy in 2020 and that is not lost on anyone.
You are absolutely right and most Americans would agree with you. However we must never say never. People said years ago a Black man would never be president. Obama proved at least 1/2 this country wrong. All I'm saying is if a 2 women ticket happens, we all have to embrace it because if we don't, evil will win. The path for this country to return to sanity relies on our ability to be mentally and spiritually flexible. Hearts and minds don't always work together and as usual we all have to work with what we have at any given moment.
@@supersquirrel7546without a doubt the dems will pick a white male.. as they should. If there’s 2 women on a ticket there bond to lose in a landslide it’s just a fact

@@vm6044Additionally, she's really good looking. I saw her in PA yesterday. 🎉

That's why the MAGA hate her!
@larryhall7998 Maga means make America great again. Do you have a problem with that.
Whitmer vs Vance for VP would be "fun" just for the whole Michigan vs Ohio rivalry.

All he has to do is bring up her 4 cities in her state that are in the top 20 for being the most violent in the country. Only one in Vance's state.

He will put those Republicans in their place 😮

J.D. Vance once correctly compared Trump to Hitler. Now, they're running mates. Politics really does make the strangest friendships!
Maybe Vance went to Russia and came back like the rest of the GOP: BRAIN WASHED!
Wonderful lady.
