1. I think she would be great. She is extremely capable, and knowledgeable

any time I've heard her being interviewed. Plus she has been fighting Voter Suppression for years, a topic that will be top of the Democratic agenda in the Presidential. I think she would be a huge asset to Biden.

To the extent, that there are ANY Trump-voters now disenchanted and considering voting for Biden, I honestly don't think they are likely to be the ones most motivated by racism. Thus, I don't know that that should or will a part of the calculation for whoever is chosen. Maybe I'm naive' on this...

why are we looking to their examples?

She's great. She's going to be ready some day. Today isn't that day.

AA voters don't just vote for skin color, we vote for a lot more than that.

90 percent of the people on here would be better.

I would be better, and I am in no way qualified to be VP.

7. Sure she is capable of being president.

She is miles ahead of Donald Trump. She is very smart, and appears to have a heart. Any of the women who are on the apparent short list are fine with me. Of course, I have my favorite, but I will vote the ticket regardless.

If nothing else, this administration has proven that we can survive for three and a half years with a clown in an over-sized suit, funny makeup a wild hairpiece, and goofy rhetoric running wild around the White House. Somebody need to send him a bicycle horn to complete the outfit.

While she has great potential She’s not ready to be president IMO, which should be a serious consideration for any VP selection.
