Tammy Duckworth for VP? [View all] DIVINEprividence Jul 2020 OP

she really is NOT VP material, when many others are way better suited beachbumbob Jul 2020 #1

What makes you say that? I like her but I see her from afar. What is she lacking? Squinch Jul 2020 #3

My wife in her state job, had to deal with Tammy when she was a Rep in Illinios and she will tell beachbumbob Jul 2020 #4

What specifically, though? Has she made mistakes that you can point to? Because I just Squinch Jul 2020 #6

We know her from directly dealing with her. She is a fine person but being presidential material beachbumbob Jul 2020 #13

So nothing specific. OK, thanks. Squinch Jul 2020 #18

Obviously you want someone else which does not mean you can attack a Democrat... Demsrule86 Jul 2020 #56

Well that settles it then. BannonsLiver Jul 2020 #14

LOL! Squinch Jul 2020 #19

I know, you don;t like other;s opinions, ok beachbumbob Jul 2020 #20

I don't like moronic opinions based on nothing. BannonsLiver Jul 2020 #23

I agree, you have no basis for your comment beachbumbob Jul 2020 #38

She seems smart enough... FM123 Jul 2020 #16

not saying she is a slouch, beachbumbob Jul 2020 #22

I was referring to your comment that she is no intellectual genius FM123 Jul 2020 #27

not an intellectual genius doesn't mean being a slouch beachbumbob Jul 2020 #37

With all due respect you couldn't walk a mile in her shoes on your best day, sir BannonsLiver Jul 2020 #43

You wrote she is no intellectual genius Bradshaw3 Jul 2020 #44

She's badass. Jamastiene Jul 2020 #2

I like Kamala & the others but... WePurrsevere Jul 2020 #5

She would be a great VP! kentuck Jul 2020 #9

No. The VP decision should be determined by "Who would be most qualified to be POTUS?" and Atticus Jul 2020 #10

Wrong. There is only one criteria for the VP pick Trumpocalypse Jul 2020 #11

In most prior elections, that would be very important. Not in this one. The VP pick Atticus Jul 2020 #15

Yeah that's what we thought in 16 Trumpocalypse Jul 2020 #35

And, it is too important to treat it as a political chess game. Substance is more crucial than Atticus Jul 2020 #41

You are being naive Trumpocalypse Jul 2020 #45

Yeah, you're right. Let's choose Oprah. She's awfully popular and Atticus Jul 2020 #47

To win an election yes Trumpocalypse Jul 2020 #49

I rest my case. nt Atticus Jul 2020 #50

What case? Trumpocalypse Jul 2020 #52

Thanks again. Nt Atticus Jul 2020 #53

Nice evasion Trumpocalypse Jul 2020 #61

Looking ahead to 24 or 28, she can win an election...thus she is my choice and Joe will easily work Demsrule86 Jul 2020 #21

What do you think she is lacking that others have? Squinch Jul 2020 #25

While she is effective as a senator and a surrogate, I just don't see evidence that she easily Atticus Jul 2020 #31
