every single lawmaker was a woman, I'm a guy and I've said this for decades. But she showed she could crack under pressure. I think Susan Rice or Kamala are tougher. I don't want a VP who will let Trump define her.

I did as well. phylny Jun 2020 #56

Agreed customerserviceguy Jun 2020 #24

Warren would be my first pick. We have other good options but Warren's strength address Biden's LizBeth Jun 2020 #30

Warren can do us more good in the Senate, especially if we get a majority. redstatebluegirl Jun 2020 #44

So... That is my second choice for her. Absolutely and about equal on desire to have it either way. LizBeth Jun 2020 #58

Well I am a Stong Democrat and I am voting redstatebluegirl Jun 2020 #59

Right there with you. LizBeth Jun 2020 #61

Yes. Denying and dissing truth should be left to the trumpsters. Hortensis Jun 2020 #53

The South is in play this time...... ProudMNDemocrat Jun 2020 #7

Agreed. Susan Rice or Kamala is the way to go. Doodley Jun 2020 #100

No! She was baited by Trump on her ancestry and looked foolish. Doodley Jun 2020 #8

No she didnt. jcgoldie Jun 2020 #22

Yeah, she did customerserviceguy Jun 2020 #27

So you believe that this DNA test bullshit has some bearing on who Joe Biden should select? jcgoldie Jun 2020 #33

In this case customerserviceguy Jun 2020 #38

Very true. We need a VP who won't be defined by Trump and who is Doodley Jun 2020 #98

One little, very little, a long time ago misstep. We hold women to a different standard, don't we. LizBeth Jun 2020 #31

Yes, I hold women to a different standard. I'd be more than happy if Doodley Jun 2020 #97

Go away. demmiblue Jun 2020 #47

No. boston bean Jun 2020 #9

I preferred Warren over Biden, but I think we need a younger VP. demmiblue Jun 2020 #10

i don't think "Biden is likely one and done". But I don't want Cha Jun 2020 #91

No!! Think about it, she didn't even carry her own state in the primaries Thekaspervote Jun 2020 #11

She didn't even get 2nd. End of story grantcart Jun 2020 #71

I think she'd be great but I don't want to lose Phoenix61 Jun 2020 #12

That might well be a colossal mistake Stuckinthebush Jun 2020 #13

Picking Elizabeth Warren would be a serious mistake StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #14

I think she is the most ready to take over LuvNewcastle Jun 2020 #15

I think the same thing marlakay Jun 2020 #20

That has been consistent. Including the POC vote. Something she is not getting a lot of credit for LizBeth Jun 2020 #60

she's great but Harris is the one TeamPooka Jun 2020 #16

I think Harris is going to be the one, as well. demmiblue Jun 2020 #17

How many of these "activists" actually backed Joe Biden in the primary? nsd Jun 2020 #19

What nonsense. jcgoldie Jun 2020 #23

What a ridiculous comment. PTWB Jun 2020 #85

No, I want a young VP. nt USALiberal Jun 2020 #25

No. For starters, we need her in the Senate. Secondly, we would be better to have someone Vinca Jun 2020 #26

That's the right line of thinking. And we don't need Berniebots holding hostages. TreasonousBastard Jun 2020 #35

Harris is the pick that protects the Senate for us. CA is the only state that can assure us TeamPooka Jun 2020 #45

One of the reasons she dropped her presidential bid was the emergence of a number of Vinca Jun 2020 #66

winning the white house is worthless with Mitch McConnell still running the Senate TeamPooka Jun 2020 #82

Those were problems for some members of our party StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #96

I wanted EW for Pres. but now that Biden is the one I want Kamala -- 4 years as VP and then in2herbs Jun 2020 #28

No, please. GentryDixon Jun 2020 #29

Warren is my first choice with her strength going after wallstreet/corporations filling in Biden's LizBeth Jun 2020 #34

Chasing Bernie voters is a stupid strategy... SidDithers Jun 2020 #37

I am appalled by Sanders and his supporters. Wanting Warren has nothing to do with Sanders and LizBeth Jun 2020 #41

The article in the OP specifically states that Biden should choose Warren... SidDithers Jun 2020 #42

Agree, there is a certain percentage that is out to destroy the Democratic Party. Youth though, LizBeth Jun 2020 #43

I was originally for this, but changed my mind. budkin Jun 2020 #40

NO! BlueLucy Jun 2020 #48

Wouldn't that simply give away a Senate seat? roscoeroscoe Jun 2020 #49

No. I do not know the particulars, but you can bet the Democrats know and would not pick a VP LizBeth Jun 2020 #62

We'll see who former VP Biden Wants for his ticket.. who he thinks Cha Jun 2020 #80

These "activists" are solid Dems. And yes, I trust Biden to pick wisely. He can't hardly go LizBeth Jun 2020 #83

I know who these "activists" are.. I trust Joe Biden Cha Jun 2020 #87
