News that former national security adviser Susan Rice is apparently among a handful of women under consideration to be Joe Bidens running mate has Republicans salivating especially GOP foreign policy hawks in the Senate.
Itd be a good move for Republicans, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Wednesday when asked about the possibility Biden settles on Rice as his vice presidential pick.
I dont think shell wear well over time, he chuckled of the former aide to President Barack Obama.
Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said Tuesday hell be making the long-anticipated announcement next week. He has vowed to select a woman someone, he said, who is simpatico with me, both in terms of personality as well as substance but who has strengths and capacities I dont.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), a prominent progressive voice on foreign policy, said all the purported candidates on Bidens shortlist, including Rice, would make a great vice president. Republicans have never let the facts get in the way of a good narrative, he said in defense of Rice.

That means she must have worked well with Joe at the time.

(32,754 posts)That Susans son, not only a republican, is a total dotard supporter. Something the gop will use negatively for sure...
Sad..but we cant give them even the slightest talking point.
Of course if he picks her I will still be all in and will not doubt his reasoning in the slightest

(25,456 posts)There were eight investigations of that but during Trump's administration three Americans were killed by terrorists in the U.S., four in Niger, U.S. military bases were attacked in East Africa -- none of those incidents were investigated and no outrage.
But of course that's reality, so...

(14,565 posts)It would be priceless to see them attempt Benghazi or trot out her son.
Her convention speech would be long famous after she picked apart Trump and current Republicanism in general. The suburban women who have flocked to our side would be amazed, and even more convinced.
But we can certainly give all of that away in devotion to misguided fear.

(6,843 posts)Does anyone REALLY think VP selection matters? This election is an indictment if Trump and Biden is a reasonable choice.
If the Redumbfuckicans haven't figured that out by now...
Go home Lyndsey!

(1,685 posts)Would be an excellent choice. She and Joe worked closely together during the Obama years when he was vice president. My guess is hes thinking very seriously about her and I think hes going to pick her.
