Highlight:

Abrams really seems to be putting herself out there [View all] themaguffin Apr 2020 OP

I think she's great. Hopefully if not VP.. LakeArenal Apr 2020 #1

Not ideal? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #2

Biden needs someone who knows how to take charge, who has executive experience. CaliforniaPeggy Apr 2020 #4

Klobuchar and Harris don't have executive experience either. Witmore is the only one who does Dream Girl Apr 2020 #7

You're right. CaliforniaPeggy Apr 2020 #8

Whitmer is interesting to me. She did not seem interested when a reporter asked her about it. I helpisontheway Apr 2020 #9

I'll have to delete this later because I might be a moron Lulu KC Apr 2020 #13

Maybe they meant Whitmer, the governor of Michigan eleny Apr 2020 #15

Yes, Whitmer, the governor of Michigan, is who they meant. n/t CaliforniaPeggy Apr 2020 #19

Tammy Duckworth was the Asst Deputy at the VA. She also has executive experience Arazi Apr 2020 #26

Both Klobuchar and Harris ran county and state attorney offices, respectively question everything Apr 2020 #92

If experience mattered Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #16

And lack national exposure question everything Apr 2020 #91

I am 100% behind Abrams! chillfactor Apr 2020 #3

She's promoting "her brand" and boosting her speaking fees... PoliticAverse Apr 2020 #5

She is ideal RANDYWILDMAN Apr 2020 #6

+1 OnDoutside Apr 2020 #12

too ROUGH? Skittles Apr 2020 #80

We need someone who can step into the presidency... kentuck Apr 2020 #10

You should look more into her, Kentuck, she is extremely capable and eloquent too. Here is her OnDoutside Apr 2020 #11

Then maybe a cabinet post for Abrams. tinrobot Apr 2020 #131

Who are these "plenty of qualified candidates" of which you speak ? OnDoutside Apr 2020 #132

Oh jeez... I don't play that game. tinrobot Apr 2020 #133

Gotcha, thanks, I can thus only conclude your post was just a kick on Abrams. OnDoutside May 2020 #134

You read it wrong. My post was that Abrams is absolutely NOT qualified. tinrobot May 2020 #135

And you refused to name that list. OnDoutside May 2020 #136

My post was about Abrams, not who I personally want for VP. tinrobot May 2020 #137

"there are plenty of qualified candidates who have proven themselves nationally." Yet you OnDoutside May 2020 #138

Why? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #23

Are you in your eighties? kentuck Apr 2020 #27

So? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #28

Abrams is a strong take charge person who really communicates well womanofthehills Apr 2020 #102

Here's my concern musclecar6 Apr 2020 #14

If a black VP pick would scare off a voter, we never had that voter to begin with themaguffin Apr 2020 #21

I just don't feel she is ready to be president on day one. tritsofme Apr 2020 #17

I think Kamala's experience as AG of a large state like CA and also a US Senator... kentuck Apr 2020 #22

Why does she need to be ready on day one? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #24

The best laid plans of mice and men... tritsofme Apr 2020 #25

Which are? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #29

I never realized having a vice president ready to assume duties on day one was controversial tritsofme Apr 2020 #30

No Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #31

Any president might not live through his or her term. Marrah_Goodman Apr 2020 #33

Still a GOP talking point Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #34

That might be how you think of it. Marrah_Goodman Apr 2020 #37

No it is a GOP talking point Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #38

whatever... Marrah_Goodman Apr 2020 #39

Sorry but it is a GOP talking point Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #40

Everyone is disagreeing with you Polybius Apr 2020 #119

The reality of mortality tables is not a "GOP talking point" tritsofme Apr 2020 #35

Yes it is. It only benefits Trump. Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #36

Sorry, it is silly to play pretend. tritsofme Apr 2020 #43

It's a GOP talking point Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #44

I'm not quite sure what the hell you are talking about at this point. tritsofme Apr 2020 #45

What I'm talking about is Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #46

lol, you certainly are a strange one. tritsofme Apr 2020 #47

How about just stop Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #49

I reject your premise. Deal with it. tritsofme Apr 2020 #50

It is a GOP talking point Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #51

Blah blah blah. Wanting Biden to choose a VP ready to assume office on day one tritsofme Apr 2020 #57

Any argument Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #60

We disagree. You seem incapable of believing that can happen in good faith. tritsofme Apr 2020 #62

Your argument will only help Trump Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #63

lol, This has to be one of the most bizarre exchanges in my nearly 17 years here. tritsofme Apr 2020 #64

No repeating a GOP talking point Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #70

Again, I disagree with your analysis. tritsofme Apr 2020 #72

Not my analysis Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #74

Your talking points about talking points are nonsense. tritsofme Apr 2020 #76

Any argument Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #77

I do not agree with your analysis. I know this is difficult for you to understand. tritsofme Apr 2020 #79

Not my analysis Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #81

You have repeatedly implied that disagreeing with your analysis tritsofme Apr 2020 #83

No I have repeatedly stated that Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #86

I disagree with your framing. tritsofme Apr 2020 #87

No it's your framing Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #88

I have repeatedly told you my feelings on the best way for Biden to win. tritsofme Apr 2020 #90

They won't if we keep reminding Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #93

Again, I don't agree with your analysis. tritsofme Apr 2020 #94

No it is a GOP talking Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #95

Your talking points about talking points are lame. tritsofme Apr 2020 #96

Still a GOP Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #97

I know you say that's your goal, but my opinion is that your position only helps Trump. tritsofme Apr 2020 #98

My position doesn't parrot GOP talking points Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #99

Again, I find your talking points about talking points to be nonsense. tritsofme Apr 2020 #100

Yes it is a GOP talking point Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #104

If you want to help Trump, choose a VP who is not a credible day one president. tritsofme Apr 2020 #105

There you go again Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #106

Biden's age is not talking point. It's reality. No matter how much nonsense you spout. tritsofme Apr 2020 #107

It's a GOP talking point Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #108

Reality is not a GOP talking point. You choose to live in a pretend-word. tritsofme Apr 2020 #109

It is a GOP talking point Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #110

Repeating your nonsense does not change reality. tritsofme Apr 2020 #111

It is a GOP talking point Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #112

Wrong. Trump and Biden would each go on to be our oldest ever elected president. tritsofme Apr 2020 #113

No it is a GOP talking point Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #114

No, it's not. tritsofme Apr 2020 #115

Yes it is Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #116

None of that nonsense is at all related to anything I've said. tritsofme Apr 2020 #117

OK Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #118

I've stated my opinion. tritsofme Apr 2020 #121

Yes but Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #122

DU is not the public. Swing voters aren't exactly hanging on our posts here. tritsofme Apr 2020 #124

This is a public forum. Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #125

Oh come now. This is a site for political junkies, no one else cares tritsofme Apr 2020 #126

You think so? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #127

lol, if you feel you need to self censor to avoid the massive media spotlight that is DU tritsofme Apr 2020 #128

No I feel the need to call GOP talking points Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #129

How many times did you say talking point in this thread? Polybius Apr 2020 #120

Damn Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #123

Can you guarantee that Biden (or anyone else) makes it to day 2? Renew Deal Apr 2020 #53

Why wouldn't he? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #54

Can you guarantee it? Renew Deal Apr 2020 #55

Why wouldn't he? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #58

Any number of terrible resaons. Renew Deal Apr 2020 #59

What reasons? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #61

Heart attack, pretzels, snakebite, resignation, amongst others. Renew Deal Apr 2020 #65

Does Biden have a history of heart disease? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #68

And yet failing to acknowledge the fragility of life Renew Deal Apr 2020 #69

There is no realistic reason to believe that Biden Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #71

But can you guarantee that those things won't happen? Renew Deal Apr 2020 #73

I can't guarantee that the Death Star won't destroy the planet Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #75

To help Biden win Renew Deal Apr 2020 #78

Good Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #82

I'm not doing that at all. Renew Deal Apr 2020 #84

Experience doesn't matter Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #85

Biden has some health problems like most men his age womanofthehills Apr 2020 #101

So? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #103

Here we go with the criticizing of black people for "the way they're doing it" trope again. TeamPooka Apr 2020 #18

She has my well deserved tremendous respect, but.... tableturner Apr 2020 #20

Any talk of Biden's Trumpocalypse Apr 2020 #32

The GOP who elected a reality show star with Bettie Apr 2020 #48

Good point! Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #56

I like her but I think we would be better off having a senator or governor on the ticket. totodeinhere Apr 2020 #41

Most tend to be a current or former Senator or Governor Trumpocalypse Apr 2020 #42

She's short on executive or Washington experience, but... Renew Deal Apr 2020 #52

She is out there speaking on important issues , Why view everything as some entertainment show ? JI7 Apr 2020 #66

To be fair, as a balding mid-50's man, I've been putting some leg out there too. Shaddox Apr 2020 #67

We need a VP who has institutional memory, like Joe Biden Arazi Apr 2020 #89

We need a VP candidate who will help win the election Trumpocalypse Apr 2020 #130
