Navy Pilot, Navy Captain, Astronaut, Senator,, husband of Gabby Giffords, twin brother of Scott Kelly with similar resumé, and he's only 60. He and his brother can each win two terms and still be younger than Trump is now.

He also flips red states blue: he's pretty much the only Democrat who has won anything in Arizona in decades.

Mark Kelly as Kamala's VP? Having that balance of ethnicity would help her get the votes. It's exactly why Obama picked Biden

Kelly's "blue" credentials are sound, and his history will appeal to many otherwise "red" voters. He is a real threat to poach votes from Trump's base in red and swing states.

Harris can't do that. She's a lawyer, and everyone hates lawyers.

But nobody votes for the bottom of the ticket. Harris/Kelly loses; Kelly/Harris wins.
