Vice Presidential Choice wishes

[Livluvgrow]

Not that my opinion matters, but I have made my choice for who I wish Joe would pick. I hope he goes with Keisha Lance Bottoms. She has been impressive throughout a whole series of issues.

1. I'd previously hoped for Elizabeth Warren...

But I understand we can't afford to lose her Senate seat. Also, the time is now for a POC. (Past time, actually.)

So now, I'm leaning towards Tammy Duckworth. She's smart, effective and honorable. We wouldn't lose the Senate seat because Gov. Pritzker is a Democrat & would appoint her replacement accordingly.

As an aside, if we take enough Senate seats to secure a Democratic majority, I'd like to see Elizabeth Warren as Secretary of the Treasury.

[question everything]

10. Duckworth was born in Thailand with only her father an American citizen

will this pass?

2. Rice is a genius but Harris has proven she has skills to win votes

So I view them as equally appealing.

3. listening to Sen. Harris last night on

Lawrence O'Donnell show...every time I hear her my BP goes down a little. So competent, confident, smart. I would feel so secure with her as VP.

I don't know what she would be like as Prez, if it came to that?

4. I'm conflicted about Harris.

I would support the ticket no matter what,
but I really like other Black women better,
such as Susan Rice, Michelled Obama, or
Stacey Abrams.

And I also really like Tammy Duckworth
and Elizabeth Warren.

12. Others way better for me.

Never liked Harris.

[MrsCoffee]

7. Yes indeed.

Harris is brilliant and connects with the people. She is for medicare for all and will push Biden in the right direction on many issues.

Biden/Harris 2020!

9. So, so

competent and confident!

[SKKY]

5. I've recently decided I think Susan Rice is the candidate we need as VP...

...so I'm not coming off that position. Now, having said that, we have an absolute embarrassment of riches when it comes to Women as VP, so I would honestly be tickled pink to support any of the likely candidates mentioned.

6. At this point it seems clear that Biden will probably pick one of three women:

Kamala Harris, Susan Rice, or Tammy Duckworth.

8. silly to speculate

and I love them all!! Susan Rice is my choice

[2naSalit]

11. I love them all but Susan Rice is the best choice for many reasons.

I have been happily surprised that most of my Independent friends think so too. After listening to her speak anywhere, I am convinced of her skills and abilities to hold any office in the executive branch.

[LakeArenal]

13. I love a few that have no chance because they are not black.

Katie Porter for one.

But I like Rice. She has great experience.
