Biden/Abrams speculation

If Biden chooses to enter the primary race and declare that he would choose Stacy Abrams as his VP - how could that possibly be good for Abrams' career. Biden is forever tainted imo by the bankruptcy bill he helped author.

"He was a key architect of the infamous 2005 bankruptcy reform bill which made means tests much more strict and near-impossible to discharge student loans in bankruptcy."

The result being an entire generation is handicapped in getting a start in life because they are mired in mind-boggling debt and the jobs they expected to be available in order to manage that debt just aren't there.

I don't see how he can get past that, and I can't imagine someone with as much potential as Abrams willing to associate herself with that baggage.
