Heidi Heitkamp(D-ND) for 2020 POTUS or VPOTUS.

Heitkamp made a courageous decision voting NO on Kavanaugh. She is the only Democratic US Senator up for re-election in 2018 from a solid Trump State. Heitkamp is trailing in the polls by a decent margin before the NO vote.

What about a VP running mate to either Warren-D or Harris-D? A double female Democratic Ticket? nkpolitics1212 Oct 2018 #5

It will energize the Democratic electorate and force Trump to double down on his gender bigotry.
Heitkamp could put the Dakotas in play, carry WI,MI,and PA-.

Heitkamp is OK as a senator from ND, and is probably as "liberal" as she can get away with there. But she shouldn't be on a Dem presidential ticket.

because I appreciate that she did the right thing even though she knew it wouldn't be popular in ND. Brava.
