The more I consider Kamala Harris as VP, the more I am for her.

[sprinkleeninow]

She got bonafide chops.

1. I really don't know who would be the best for Biden.. I just know this..

19. Dear Sprink..

2. What's happened to change your mind ?

[sprinkleeninow]

17. I really never settled on anyone till now.

Not that my choosing has any impact on the eventual VP choice.

I like Susan Rice, but someone brought up her connection with the Benhazi thing and that could pose a problem.

I do like Stacy Abrams, but don't know if she could be a hard hitter up to bat.

[OnDoutside]

28. Yeah, there's really no one where there isn't one issue or another.

My concern about Kamala is really down to her not even implosion, but rather her failure to ignite her campaign. She had everything going for her, in my opinion, but just fizzled out.

I do believe that Joe should pick an African American, and while Susan Rice would be outstanding, I too fear that it would breathe life into a faltering Trump campaign, as unjust as that Benghazi bullshit is.

I've thought of Stacey Abrams since last July when there were rumours that she might be in the running, and nothing I've seen since has dissuaded me from the thought that she would be a great VP. The one thing that might be off putting is the fear by the Biden campaign that they need a big name, which is understandable but I think unnecessary.

3. VP, honestly, doesn't do that much compared to other posts

I think she would make a great AG as she has some experience making republicans cry with her questioning.

4. Did you consider

that Harris is from California, a reliable Democratic state and doesn’t put any swing states in play? Did you consider that Harris’ record as a prosecutor might alienate some progressives as well as some African Americans? Did you consider that Harris’ attacks on Biden in the debates are a GOP attack ad that writes itself? Did you consider winning the election? Or that there are other choices better suited to winning?

[JI7]

5. Those so called progressives are mostly white men who don't like her because she is a woman and

black .

[Trumpocalypse]

6. Some yes

But there are others who don’t like things she did as a prosecutor.

[JI7]

9. no, they are mainly white men who don't like her because she is black

and a woman.

[Walleye]

10. Yup

[Trumpocalypse]

11. Again yes some are but

Harris’ record as a prosecutor — which she pitched as a strength in a potential matchup with Donald Trump in the general election, but swung back and forth between emphasizing and deemphasizing as her campaign went on — also bothered some black voters, especially black men.

12. Probably the same black men that refused to vote for Stacey Abrams

Large Majority of black people do not have a problem with Harris and it's mainly white men who have been blaming the black women for the problem in the criminal justice system.

[Trumpocalypse]

13. Either way

the choice for VP should be who puts the ticket in the best position to win.

[JI7]

14. And Many black women like Harris. Black women are the base of the party so that matters more than

bitter white men who preferred Trump over Hillary.

[Trumpocalypse]

15. And there are other African American women available

that are also liked by other African American women, and men, and progressives. Women who could put a swing state like Florida in play too.

[JI7]

16. I'm fine with other women also but the same ones that attack Harris will attack them also

because I know the real reason they don't like Harris.

7. There are chops, and then there are chops

Hers are a little too reminiscent of karate chops for my taste, and some of them were directed at Biden, himself. Let her be AG and go after Republicans with the same zeal she used to go after defendants of dubious guilt in California. That way, she can do what she does best, and her less-than-stellar performance in the primaries will not even be an issue in the confirmation hearings.

If we get lucky, maybe Moscow Mitch will even be watching them on TV as a former Senator, watching newly sworn-in Senator Amy McGrath (D-KY) toss Harris the same kind of softball questions that McTurtle used to toss Trump's unqualified hacks. COnsidering the crap McTurtle and his wife pulled during the Trump years, I suspect that as a former Senator, Moscow Mitch might be checking out real estate in Hong Kong or Sochi (at least he and Elaine can afford it).

8. I like Elizabeth Warren or Susan Rice. nt

[GulfCoast66]

20. Biden/Harris has been my hope for over a year.

They recreate the Obama coalition which won Florida twice.

If we energize the African American vote like we did in 08 and 12 we win hands down.

[sprinkleeninow]

23. Awright! Rockin' the vote! 👍 💙

[MrsCoffee]

29. Biden/Harris 2020.

Fired up, ready to go!

[tinrobot]

21. The woman has some serious charisma.

She reminds me a bit of Obama in that respect.

She also can be tough, but remain likeable. Not easy. I think she'd balance out the ticket well and be a great attack dog.

[sprinkleeninow]

22. You used the word 'balance'. You reading my mind? 😉

That came to me earlier this night as I was wondering as I wandered.

'Balance'. 👍

[radius777]

26. Exactly, and Biden was also a pres primary loser from a blue state

yet was a good pick for Obama because he provided age/racial/demographic balance and was a loyal defender - exactly what Kamala can be for Biden.

The other picks, including some of the other WoC, are too straight-laced IMO to handle what Trump is going to dish out.

Kamala is a California girl who knows how to be nice but also knows how to 'throw down'... also spunky with a good sense of humor... all important traits for dealing with Trump/RW nastiness.

[Progressive Jones]

25. I want Harris to be the 47th POTUS. Period. nt

[sprinkleeninow]

27. Okay. From your keyboard to... 😊 💙
