Benghazi...she lied...over and over and over and over.

And you know it will be because she was the one who got picked to go on the Sunday shows.

ETA: I don't think she lied, she told what they knew at the time, but that's what the messaging from the other side will say.

I've just moved to favoring Susan Rice as the V.P candidate (from Elizabeth) [View all] ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 OP

Ditto. n/t blitzen Jun 2020 #1

Susan Rice has always been one of my top favorites, especially based on her still_one Jun 2020 #2

She's my #1 too, for the reasons you set forth. Mike 03 Jun 2020 #3

I'll add: and she's not a sitting US Senator, so no risk of losing a seat JHB Jun 2020 #4

Exactly! ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #6

Exactly!!! Mike 03 Jun 2020 #13

Yes. She certainly can defend herself! ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #14

She's been my pick all along. padfun Jun 2020 #5

i honestly can't think of anyone I'd had more confidence in that could step in and be President... ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #9

my $.02 Borchkins Jun 2020 #7

But Benghazi is such a loser issue for the GOP ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #11

Nobody gives a crap about Benghazi any more. The Velveteen Ocelot Jun 2020 #12

They really don't. ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #22

For the relatively few MAGA Cultist, ... why? uponit7771 Jun 2020 #26

Oh, yes. NCjack Jun 2020 #8

I think it would be insane. No reason to introduce controversy with a VP pick tritsofme Jun 2020 #10

Fox News will find a controversy for every VP choice. ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #17

I disagree, it would be a major unforced error. tritsofme Jun 2020 #21

Respectfully, I'm not sure there are (any better options). ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #24

This is crazy, Bhengazi was dead issue to the left then you think it'd be out front now ?! Really?!? uponit7771 Jun 2020 #29

Why favor right wing positions for dem candidates? None of that matters to the left uponit7771 Jun 2020 #27

Good point. ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #31

What right wing positions? She has unfairly become controversial. tritsofme Jun 2020 #60

She's ... NOT ... controversial among left progressives. Who cares about right wing stupids? Not ... uponit7771 Jun 2020 #61

I guarantee the Biden camp's deliberations on the subject are not this cavalier tritsofme Jun 2020 #63

Shocked? Really? I wouldn't. ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #64

I think very highly of her as well, just don't think she is a good VP option. tritsofme Jun 2020 #65

That's not an answer to the question. Stupid right wing issues are not issues on the left or even... uponit7771 Jun 2020 #66

Because if we pick just the right person, the right wing won't attack and lie about them StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #67

I think Kamala Harris or Val Demings would each be stronger VP picks. tritsofme Jun 2020 #68

I've heard her speak, volstork Jun 2020 #15

She's so methodical and level-headed. ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #19

Another couple of great volstork Jun 2020 #20

Yep. ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #36

This is not like deciding how to vote; I'll get 100% behind whomever Joe Biden picks. Towlie Jun 2020 #16

Me too. ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #18

Same here Pacifist Patriot Jun 2020 #23

I could get on board with her... Wounded Bear Jun 2020 #25

Kinda hoping someone around Joe catches this thread. ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #28

I have to imagine Ms Rice is on the short list... Wounded Bear Jun 2020 #30

I agree. And she's very close to Biden. ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #33

No...it will be Benghazi, Benghazi and Benghazi. Demsrule86 Jun 2020 #32

Benghazi was an absolute nothing burger back then... ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #35

Bad idea....hands the Trumpers ammo. Demsrule86 Jun 2020 #69

Duckworth will be the pick IMO BannonsLiver Jun 2020 #52

She eould be grest. Demsrule86 Jun 2020 #70

Val was on MJ today and pretty good. CTyankee Jun 2020 #34

great idea! nt kstewart33 Jun 2020 #37

I see her as the next SoS but I would certainly be happy if she was VP Blasphemer Jun 2020 #38

I do not want the narrative to be Bettie Jun 2020 #39

I think she is terrific NewJeffCT Jun 2020 #40

I agree, she'd make a great Secretary of State. ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #45

Susan Rice checks all the boxes. shockey80 Jun 2020 #41

I think she would be perfect for Secretary of State. nt Tommy_Carcetti Jun 2020 #42

I liked her before these riots, and like her even more now. eom. Alex4Martinez Jun 2020 #43

My sentiments exactly. ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #48

No! Rice would need on the job VP training. It is imperative that the VP have Congressional and Ninga Jun 2020 #44

She's brilliant. She'd learn that process. ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #47

It would take precious time away from being productive. On the job training is often Ninga Jun 2020 #53

I am liking Demings or Bottoms jcgoldie Jun 2020 #46

I like them both a lot too. ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #54

Biden/Harris 2020. MrsCoffee Jun 2020 #49

Good ticket, too. ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #56

She would be my 1st choice. nt cry baby Jun 2020 #50

Gotta be on Biden's short list. ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #55

Ham sandwich. I'm in. nt Baltimike Jun 2020 #57

True dat! LOL! ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #58

Sober, intelligent, caring, thoughtful, . . . everything Pense is not. skip fox Jun 2020 #59

My Gawd, would she ever pummel Pence in a debate! ElementaryPenguin Jun 2020 #62

Susan Rice or Elizabeth Warren. nt leftyladyfrommo Jun 2020 #71
