(He represents a whole bunch of people considering running.) I do think Joe and Kamala would complement each other nicely on a stage.

Btw, we've still to elect our first female president, and should we really wait another possibly 18 years (!!!) for our next serious try? Two Democratic terms will most likely be followed by two of the main conservative party, whatever the GOP's called by then. I suppose our first woman president could be a Republican.

I kinda thought someone might mention that we Laura PourMeADrink Dec 2018 #14

Some, without saying it outright, seem to think we must nominate a white male. Garrett78 Dec 2018 #17

Totally hear you...and you make good points. Maybe Laura PourMeADrink Dec 2018 #23

I think Democratic turnout would be higher for Harris-O'Rourke than Biden-O'Rourke. Garrett78 Dec 2018 #33
