That they are already using to attack him. Highlighting it only serves to legitimize it for them and helps Trump. Never said to ignore it but don't make their case for them.

My goal is to help Biden win the election. What is yours?

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 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

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
