I'm putting my $5 on Val Demings for VP

[CanonRay]

Y'all can throw this in my face when I'm wrong, which I usually am. She's smart, tenacious, an ex-cop, and comes from a battleground state.

[no_hypocrisy]

1. She *was* exceptionally good today (Bill Barr hearings).

[secondwind]

2. She's got what it takes, that's for sure!!!!

3. I like Tammy Duckworth, but I think you are right...she could help bring Florida home BFD.

4. I've got $10 on Kamala.

5. Here are the latest betting odds

13. Harris is now a substantial favorite again

Something like 52 cents to Rice 32 cents, last I checked.

There was something about a peak at Biden's notes with Harris' name on them. I didn't get the particulars but that was driving the odds shift in Harris' favor early tonight

6. I think Rice. But isn't that the beauty of our possibilities??

7. I like her too!

Not putting $ on ANYONE, as I tend to jinx 'my' candidates.

[Trumpocalypse]

8. My money is on Sarah Cooper

but I hit on 17

9. My picks are Bass, Duckworth and Whitmer

All would be amazing!

10. Those are some really good arguments! I'd be 100% down with Demings.

The only downsides I see for Demings are:

1. Former Police Chief (her husband is also a former Police Chief I believe). The Orlando police has a history of excessive force and lack of transparency, which she'll have to answer for. The last thing we want is for BLM to be against our VP pick.

2. She's only been a congress member since elected in 2016. (Yes, I realize our current POTUS had exactly zero public office experience, but we're Democrats, and...you know, different rules).

15. This. :) Very MUCH, as you say: Democrats have "different rules."

17. This. Very MUCH as you say, Democrats have "different rules.

[MoonRiver]

11. I've been thinking the same thing.

[cornball 24]

12. I believe Val has a lot to offer as VP for all the reasons you cited!! She's been my choice

from the gitgo.

[BluesRunTheGame]

14. My 5 is on Senator Warren. n/t

[whathehell]

16. If he picks Susan Rice, we can keep all of our Dem Congresswomen

I like her anyway..She has a national profile.
