I think Hillary has the best VP option in sitting Vice President Joe Biden. EVERYBODY loves Joe!! He's definitely a choice that will help to make us stronger together!!

Hillary should put someone on the ticket who represents the future, like Gavin Newsom.

(2,023 posts)it's all hands on deck if we wanna beat Trump in November...we need our "A" Team....no OJT time this cycle....Joe's a Pitbull who knows what it takes.

I also suspect Biden isn't exactly chomping at the bit to stay in what is arguably one of the most boring jobs in the universe. Beyond that, putting him on the ticket again without some pressing need would seem off. "It just isn't done" isn't always a good excuse, but it is a noteworthy point.

And yes, like you said, we can reuse the old shirts and bumper stickers.

BTW, I adore Joe Biden. He's the coolest VEEP of my life -- and I was born in the 40's.
This is classic Joe Biden!

Joe Biden rolled 18 on charisma. Just saying...

I like Biden, I think people say weird things in grief, but I don't think she should pick him

Hillary needs someone with a little more spark.
