My first take as well.  I don't think many of them are really running for President.  They know they can't beat Trump or DeSantis so they are all running for VP.  That's why you will either see them going out of their way not to attack Trump or openly helping him by trying to take down DeSantis.  I like Tim Scott but he would not be my first choice for VP with either Trump or DeSantis.  A compelling story does not give him executive experience.  And if we learned anything from Obama and Biden, former Senators make lousy Presidents. 

If the GOP thinks he can attract black votes they are once again deluding themselves.  It will take more than the color of his skin to get them off the Dem party plantation.  Same goes with choosing a woman.  Don't care who she is, but suburban women are not going to vote for Trump just because of the gender or sex (or whatever they call it these days) of his VP.
