And let us not forget that Biden's choice of Kamala Harris is proof that Biden, unlike Trump,

can make choices in the interest of the American people and not be influenced by previous less than positive encounters as in the Prez debate.

1. Important point.

Joe made it clear that he wanted three things out of his VP candidate: 1) woman, for better or for worse, 2) someone ready to step into the Presidency immediately, and 3) someone he could work well with (someone who shared his values and someone who would work with him and not against him).

#3 was always the big question with Kamala. She hammered Joe hard in the primary debates. She’s not exactly known as an “easy person” to work with. Despite all of that, Joe chose her, and here we are.

Although not my first choice (Karen Bass was), Kamala is an excellent choice who will energize a significant number of voters. Joe, no matter what he might feel about Kamala, personally, put that aside for the benefit of the nation. Good for him, and good for us all.

4. Or in the case of Trump choosing Pence--

Guided to it by Putin's stooge Paul Manafort.

5. It's an excellent choice.

Best ticket since Obama Biden! Though I did think Kaine was a great pick too ..

6. Biden is an adult who chose a strong-minded powerful woman to run with, unlike Passive Pence

8. Exactly! The interesting part of that Kamala/Biden

debate moment is that she now has a perfect segue into current events. Her comment has been overcome by events and is a big bonus for her now.

9. I stand with Harris right to engage in the conversation and believe it was better for all of us

including Biden.
