David Plouffe:选择副总统是一个重要的决定,需要考虑多方面因素,包括政治策略、执政能力以及与总统候选人的个人关系。他认为,选择副总统不应该仅仅是为了制造轰动效应,而应该选择一个长期合作愉快的人选,并且能够帮助总统执政。他还强调了在竞选活动中整合副总统人选的挑战,以及如何平衡增加竞选资源与增加复杂性的问题。他认为,威斯康星州在本次大选中对拜登来说可能比密歇根州和宾夕法尼亚州更为重要,这出乎他的意料。 Kellyanne Conway:她认为,特朗普选择副总统的过程非常个人化,最终决定权在他自己手中。她强调了副总统人选的重要性,因为它可以帮助总统候选人扩大影响力,缓解人们对总统候选人的担忧,并展示候选人的重要决策能力。她回顾了2016年特朗普选择彭斯为副总统的经验,并指出选择副总统需要考虑三个主要标准:帮助赢得选举、帮助执政和上任第一天就做好准备。她还认为,特朗普更看重对自身政治议程的忠诚,而不是对个人的忠诚,并且他可能会选择一个不会分散他注意力的副总统人选。她还讨论了选择来自参议院的副总统人选需要考虑其继任者的选择,以及如何利用副总统人选来赢得不同群体的支持。

Shownotes Transcript

The right (or wrong) VP often makes a big difference in a presidential campaign. Kellyanne and David discuss the three key factors that go into selecting a VP, how much loyalty truly means to Donald Trump, and when is the ideal time for a presidential candidate to announce their running mate. 

The two also share creative ways that campaigns have thrown the media off the trail when it comes to spoiling a VP announcement.
