"The short term fear" as you put it is 4 more fucking years of the worst person in the world being president. I don't care one bit about 2024 at this point pick the person that maximizes the chance to win now! In my opinion its Demings.

I like Rice and not fair to her, but I just don't want to hear a constant "Benghazi" distraction hlthe2b Jun 2020 #4

They will attack anyone that Biden picks with bs . If it's not Benghazi it will be some other bs JI7 Jun 2020 #7

I really admire Susan Rice and I think she would be great, but that is my biggest concern. smirkymonkey Jun 2020 #8

Yes PatSeg Jun 2020 #20

I doubt that. cwydro Jun 2020 #5

I agree but the Biden campaign will likely see this as a major risk if she is picked as VP. honest.abe Jun 2020 #13

Agree it will be Harris. sarcasmo Jun 2020 #32

That's a deal breaker, right there. Paladin Jun 2020 #21

No it's only about getting votes Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #12

A California liberal isn't going to help in any swing states either BeyondGeography Jun 2020 #15

Harris is a formidable campaigner and we'll need that, Rice is not. sunonmars Jun 2020 #16

A formidable well-financed campaigner makes it to Iowa BeyondGeography Jun 2020 #22

She's more than a "California liberal" StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #18

👆...all of this Docreed2003 Jun 2020 #31

Here's a look at her tenure in CA BeyondGeography Jun 2020 #36

She was so "unpopular" in California she won her Senate seat by more than 20 points in 2016. honest.abe Jun 2020 #40

I'm hoping you're just venting and trying to get something out of your system StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #42

That's not "just venting" BeyondGeography Jun 2020 #45

This is also not the time to be thinking about passing left-wing purity tests. honest.abe Jun 2020 #46

You're not "vetting" anybody. You're not involved in the vetting process StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #47

You noticed that, too? StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #48

Harris can help deliver voters across the board. honest.abe Jun 2020 #19

The fact that some people are dismissing her as bringing nothing StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #38

Im my opinion she got swiftboated during the primary for being a "controversial" prosecutor. honest.abe Jun 2020 #49

Yep StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #51

Wrong. It's because we've already been Benghazi'd to death... SMC22307 Jun 2020 #59

I was talking about Harris, not Rice StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #60

Capisce. I'd support Harris but I know many have issues... SMC22307 Jun 2020 #65

Biden wrote the 1994 Crime Bill and had even less traction in the primaries than Harris did StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #68

And let's hope those disgusted by his role in the Crime Bill turn out and vote. SMC22307 Jun 2020 #72

I do, too. That's one of the reasons I'm not picking apart Harris' or any other Democrats' record StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #73

Too much at stake with one Donald J Trump in office... people cannot lose sight of that. SMC22307 Jun 2020 #74

I agree Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #28

Whoever it's going to be-going to be pretty awkward for Pence to debate her. LisaL Jun 2020 #17

Harris' chances are overrated Renew Deal Jun 2020 #23

Who do you think is higher on the list? honest.abe Jun 2020 #26

Rice Renew Deal Jun 2020 #29

I was thinking Rice also until I read about her son who is a hard core Trumper. honest.abe Jun 2020 #30

The son looks like a douchebag so I don't think him opposing Biden JI7 Jun 2020 #34

What does his looks have to do with it?? honest.abe Jun 2020 #35

About as much a factor as 2naSalit Jun 2020 #57

Does Rice have any campaigning experience? Tennessee Hillbilly Jun 2020 #39

None, she's never ran for anything, she's is no way in consideration still for this. sunonmars Jun 2020 #43

Unlikely. BannonsLiver Jun 2020 #41
