Highlight:

My gut says Harris will be (and should be) the VP pick, but she's not without a couple flaws. [View all] Music Man Jun 2020 OP

So find us someone flawless, and good luck with that. The Velveteen Ocelot Jun 2020 #1

+1 crickets Jun 2020 #2

Just fostering a discussion. Music Man Jun 2020 #4

I think what Ocelot was trying to say was that everyone has flaws Squidly Jun 2020 #61

This analysis is flawed because Warren did not win the working class. Joe Biden was the one that won JI7 Jun 2020 #3

I think Harris would be great for our chances in November. I actually think Rice would Hoyt Jun 2020 #5

Yes, I think Harris does offer the best electoral chances Music Man Jun 2020 #8

It won't be Rice. The media narrative would focus on her son blm Jun 2020 #32

What if he picked Condaleeza Rice? I am not for it, just wondering aloud Pisces Jun 2020 #6

Do you mean Susan Rice? Music Man Jun 2020 #10

A Republican? Wrong Rice, perhaps? nt procon Jun 2020 #12

Now Harris looks to be to be a fine VP candidate in 2020 and possibly a future POTUS PufPuf23 Jun 2020 #7

I like Harris, but I agree with your assessment of her procon Jun 2020 #9

The assessment by the OP was excellent Awsi Dooger Jun 2020 #40

She's a good contrast to Biden MaryMagdaline Jun 2020 #74

I'm not interested in her flaws, any more than I'm interested in Biden's StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #11

Harris does not excite progressives TheFarseer Jun 2020 #13

I'm a progressive and she excited me StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #19

Those so called progressives she doesn't excite are the ones that preferred Trump over Hillary JI7 Jun 2020 #20

Sorry but that is bullshit Marrah_Goodman Jun 2020 #69

Same here. And I do find her warm and engaging. smirkymonkey Jun 2020 #52

She's one of the most progressive Senators. betsuni Jun 2020 #27

Au contraire, mon frer. ZZenith Jun 2020 #44

Interestingly.... in that poll that was posted, she was neck and neck with Warren... Blasphemer Jun 2020 #47

She excites the base of our party mcar Jun 2020 #55

This message was self-deleted by its author Squidly Jun 2020 #63

She excites the base which is AA and female MaryMagdaline Jun 2020 #75

It's not that Harris comes across as a prosecutor DFW Jun 2020 #14

Oh, here we go. The woman candidate has 'flaws' Maven Jun 2020 #15

IKR? StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #21

I suspected I'd get get that strawman argument. Music Man Jun 2020 #24

Strawman? I don't think so. Maven Jun 2020 #54

Thank you StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #59

Pence the Dense versus Harris? roamer65 Jun 2020 #18

Yes, she's incredibly sharp. The Pence-Harris moment will be must see TV :) Music Man Jun 2020 #29

Oooooooo.....THIS. roamer65 Jun 2020 #31

I think Harris should flirt with him, hard. ZZenith Jun 2020 #46

Why kid about it? liberaltrucker Jun 2020 #51

Harris checks all the boxes Pantagruel Jun 2020 #22

Excellent point about her Senate replacement. Music Man Jun 2020 #26

I think she would be a fool to take the job. Scruffy1 Jun 2020 #23

Hillary went the safe route... UncleTomsEvilBrother Jun 2020 #25

whatever. Kamala is ready on day 1. f***. you saw Trump's foreign SiliconValley_Dem Jun 2020 #39

Too bad WE can't vote to nominate VP MyMission Jun 2020 #28

I try to remember that the VP role is a particular task in the campaign. Music Man Jun 2020 #30

"Harris' presidential campaign was quite mediocre." DrToast Jun 2020 #33

The only question is which VP candidate Calista241 Jun 2020 #34

Why do you think Harris couldn't help in those states? StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #60

From Wisconsin, and I really like her. Tech Jun 2020 #62

I think she would be a great pick. Archetypist Jun 2020 #35

I agree on every count. Music Man Jun 2020 #36

Well get it off your chest now, because shortly we are going to circle the wagons around whoever... Hekate Jun 2020 #37

dark horse? SiliconValley_Dem Jun 2020 #38

A surprise or relatively unknown contender. Music Man Jun 2020 #41

i know. just a tad bit "on the nose" when talking about AA women SiliconValley_Dem Jun 2020 #42

I considered using a different term because I assumed someone would say something, Music Man Jun 2020 #49

I agree, also she brings a state that's already solid blue Raine Jun 2020 #43

I don't think states (or even geography) matters as much anymore. Music Man Jun 2020 #50

I don't think Hillary really had that problem which you referenced. StevieM Jun 2020 #45

From Bakari Sellers... SidDithers Jun 2020 #48

No the number one priority is someone Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #53

No one should forget the media aspect. Biden already had that ad with Lindey Graham trashing Trump. DFW Jun 2020 #56

This. OnDoutside Jun 2020 #71

Thanks Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #76

Well said. OnDoutside Jun 2020 #70

So lets focus on those "couple of flaws". honest.abe Jun 2020 #64

Hopefully, she has been preparing Sunsky Jun 2020 #65

I don't care for Kamala as a running mate for Buden helpisontheway Jun 2020 #66

Harris elicits no excitement for me Marrah_Goodman Jun 2020 #67

It has to be Harris Johnny2X2X Jun 2020 #68

Can you outline her great resume and how she's ready for this ? OnDoutside Jun 2020 #72

She's got a great record Johnny2X2X Jun 2020 #73

Those are ratings, not a record Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #77

Exactly, and not a surprise coming from the bluest of states. OnDoutside Jun 2020 #79
