124. Generally I don't pigeonhole things, but you are 100% right.

There are several excellent Hispanic choices and several African American choices. Hopefully Biden does his screening well, the woman that is chosen need to be squeaky clean from an ethics standpoint and have a solid record in government.

I believe African Americans would totally support a Hispanic woman that is solid, as would Hispanics support a very solid African American choice that is rock solid and had good relations with Hispanic groups as a leader.

Klobuchar is a safe choice DeminPennswoods Apr 2020 #7
