Damn, I wish Biden would announce the VP now...

and it's someone who will tear into these fascists.

I know we need them in the Senate, but if the numbers are looking good, I sure would love to see Kamala or Elizabeth. They would shred this administration every single day and take media time away from Trump, deflating him more and more each day.

1. No need to waste a great news cycle.

The VP announcement is an ace that needs to be held until there are no other distractions that bury the story.

3. It would be drowned out by what Trump is doing in Portland (and coming to a city near you).

Nothing Trump has done (or failed to do) has the potential for squashing any other news story like what he's doing and planning on doing right now.

Impeachment will feel like a bed-time story in comparison.

4. That would give shelter to Trump--taking the spotlight off of him and add days to divisive attacks.

If it's Warren, then the anti-POC attacks will occur.

If it's Harris, the anti-Progressive attacks will occur.


The less time they have to do this, the less damage can be caused by GOP/Russia fomented Dem in-fighting.

If we wore out our eventual VP's shiny newness now, what would we roll out after the convention to carry us through the fall?

Patience. The ads are great but too short to hold us for weeks. But, a lot of hours can be filled by reading genuinely informative attacks on the Republicans and and the many things we really should know about what those scoundrels are doing.

Like what Pence has been up to for four years. Can't properly fear another four without learning about the successful destruction it would "build" on...
