Poll Shows Warren Better for Biden Ticket Than Harris [View all] TexasTowelie Jul 2020 OP

no not Warren......a Black woman! n/t chillfactor Jul 2020 #1

Agree! She didn't even carry her own state in the primaries...no no no Thekaspervote Jul 2020 #3

What state did Harris carry? JonLP24 Jul 2020 #26

Did I say I wanted Harris...no. I don't want to win? How did you extrapolate that??!! Thekaspervote Jul 2020 #33

Great question. HotTeaBag Jul 2020 #65

Poll numbers are something to take into consideration but I have never believed in totodeinhere Jul 2020 #121

I would love to see a woman of color on the ticket but I think it's a mistake to specify a black totodeinhere Jul 2020 #120

That is fantasy...a GOP governor will not name a Democrat. And, I like Warren but she would not Demsrule86 Jul 2020 #61

The MA legislature has passed laws to force Gov. to appoint a Dem to fill vacancy Fiendish Thingy Jul 2020 #67

We need to bring out the AA vote which is far far more than the ultra progressive vote AmericanCanuck Jul 2020 #12

AA vote supports Biden overwhelmingly. Biden does not need a POC to bring him the black vote. LizBeth Jul 2020 #22

Are you taking AA's for granted? AmericanCanuck Jul 2020 #58

No, I am stating fact. LizBeth Jul 2020 #68

Having a Black woman on the ticket will help with enthusiasm and Black voter turnout, PunkinPi Jul 2020 #59

It is not the time to tell anyone woman that she must once again, sit down, not her turn. LizBeth Jul 2020 #69

What? PunkinPi Jul 2020 #70

People that say only a black VP is telling all other women that it still is not their turn. LizBeth Jul 2020 #71

The 4-5 Black women that are being considered as VP candidates ARE women. PunkinPi Jul 2020 #72

Really, this is that hard for you? ONLY black woman, so white women sit down. Asain, Latino, LizBeth Jul 2020 #75

LOL, not hard for me, but you seem to be telling on yourself. There is only one VP at a time... PunkinPi Jul 2020 #87

I am good with that. I am not the one putting parameter to choice, except woman. Biden has LizBeth Jul 2020 #95

Wow. You know, we are on the same side. I get your statement. I think your are wrong. LizBeth Jul 2020 #111

Two white septuagenarins on the ticket? Not smart at all. brush Jul 2020 #112

I disagree. I think it is smart. I also think it is the right thing to do, to get the most. LizBeth Jul 2020 #114

Even worse than two septuagenarians is the all-white ticket. brush Jul 2020 #117

This is being weaponized. I do not like it at all and will not play this one. I watched Biden LizBeth Jul 2020 #118

Are you serious? gollygee Jul 2020 #104

Consistently I am saying I am good with each woman suggested. And no, we do not tell Warren not her LizBeth Jul 2020 #108

I hadn't considered this but I like Harris in Sec of State. I think that would be an excellent LizBeth Jul 2020 #109

He could name them both. Sort of... gristy Jul 2020 #15

Yes, a shadow cabinet would be an excellent strategy, especially in light of the virtual convention Fiendish Thingy Jul 2020 #18

Clearly Warren and Harris are the top two candidates to lead the ticket to victory Fiendish Thingy Jul 2020 #16

Elizabeth Warren is far and away the best person for the ticket. BComplex Jul 2020 #17

She's 70+, and will tagged with the socialist label by repugs... brush Jul 2020 #74

Not Warren! It was hard enough to get young people on board with Joe...he needs to be a unitedwethrive Jul 2020 #21

Warren would easily bring enthusiasm to the youth vote. I think that is her second best asset. LizBeth Jul 2020 #41

The new generation is more liberal kcr Jul 2020 #84

Yes and that will be youth enthusiasm plus her own energy and upbeat personality. But, Harris LizBeth Jul 2020 #96
