Consistently behind the curve on police reform, prison reform, weed...she does not lead. And when she ran for President, she continued the pattern. Against money in politics, then for it. For MFA , then against it. She failed because many people gave up trying to figure out what she stood for. I’m against elevating this type of politician to heir apparent of the Party. It’s a disaster in the making. Sorry.

I like Rice and not fair to her, but I just don't want to hear a constant "Benghazi" distraction

They will attack anyone that Biden picks with bs . If it's not Benghazi it will be some other bs

I really admire Susan Rice and I think she would be great, but that is my biggest concern.

I agree but the Biden campaign will likely see this as a major risk if she is picked as VP.

She was so "unpopular" in California she won her Senate seat by more than 20 points in 2016.

This is also not the time to be thinking about passing left-wing purity tests.

"some people insist she's not liberal enough while some dismiss her as a "California liberal."

Im my opinion she got swiftboated during the primary for being a "controversial" prosecutor.

Biden wrote the 1994 Crime Bill and had even less traction in the primaries than Harris did

And let's hope those disgusted by his role in the Crime Bill turn out and vote.

I do, too. That's one of the reasons I'm not picking apart Harris' or any other Democrats' record

Too much at stake with one Donald J Trump in office... people cannot lose sight of that.

I was thinking Rice also until I read about her son who is a hard core Trumper.
