4. Our first responsibility is winning and I think it is unwise

to damn the torpedoes and go full speed ahead when it is reasonable to be concerned that while water is good and necessary that it is possible we are risking giving the electorate a drink from a firehose with too much change when there is already an unproven element on the ticket.

If Harris believes Pete on the ticket is going to lift it then I'll back her 110% but my advice would be another direction.

Pete can promote to Secretary of State to get his foreign policy bonafides up or look at replacing Whitmer or going for a Senate seat to bolster his credentials and get into running for President himself in 2028 or 2032 but right now is too caution to the wind for me when we have yet to get a woman across the finish line as it is.
