It getting close to the time that-

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Yonnie3 (a host of the General Discussion forum).

It's time to acknowledge that Biden appeals to a certain geographical electorate that will bring us the Presidency.. He's gonna bring us a huge huge part of the Social Security and Medicare Crowd which will give us the Presidency..

I think that this is why we lost so many of the Rust Bowl States.. Old People for the most part ( and I'm one of them) don't like change ( Women being too Aggressive) and are not too perceptive or willing into digging into the dirt of Campaign bater by the candidates.

This IMO pertains to both men and woman over 65 equally..


Finally... Biden is a tough guy...and man do we need a "tough guy" to handle Trump's Assholishness .. Definitely a woman for VP who if we win has a great chance to capture 2004...

I like Harris/ Warren.. for sure.

Do not assume that they don't want change...
But they want smart change, not stupid bring on the revolution change.

They have lived long enough to know that revolutions are bad for living things.

Maybe someone can comment on choice of VP as determining a presidential candidate's appeal.
