In reply to the discussion: I've just moved to favoring Susan Rice as the V.P candidate (from Elizabeth) [View all]Mike 03
(16,616 posts)3. She's my #1 too, for the reasons you set forth.
Absolutely drop-dead brilliant with massive expertise in foreign relations. She can think at the speed of light and defend herself and others against any attack. She cannot be surprised by any question. She never sounds rehearsed. She has a base of knowledge that is superior. She can speak on any subject at a moment's notice.
I've seen DUers say, "Oh, but they'll drag up Benghazi" but my response is, no matter who the nominee is they will fling crap at them, and Susan Rice without a single doubt can defend herself.
Kamala is my #2.

I think very highly of her as well, just don't think she is a good VP option.

That's not an answer to the question. Stupid right wing issues are not issues on the left or even...

This is not like deciding how to vote; I'll get 100% behind whomever Joe Biden picks.
