Decoding the Shanahan Choice

Nicole Shanahan is attractive, Asian in spite of the Irish name, wealthy, and from a disadvantaged background.  By selecting her as his vice presidential running mate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made clear the major party candidate from whom he anticipates stealing the most votes is Joe Biden. 

I don’t see many never-Trump Republicans voting for a ticket including her.  Her politics have more in common with Bernie Sanders than anyone else. To understand why I write this, reading Politico’s run-down on her should do the trick.

It will be interesting to see who Trump selects for his veep partner.
