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
Lol BannonsLiver Jul 2020 #39
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
right... catsudon Jul 2020 #32
Please. Let's not use Trump as the measuring stick! Solomon Jul 2020 #36
Is your wife or you an "intellectual genius"? LexVegas Jul 2020 #51
You should delete this...that is an attack on a Democrat. Demsrule86 Jul 2020 #55
Obviouly since she only earned 3 degrees whistler162 Jul 2020 #62
She would be a great VP...so I disagree...the only other choice I consider as good Demsrule86 Jul 2020 #54
She's badass. Jamastiene Jul 2020 #2
I like Kamala & the others but... WePurrsevere Jul 2020 #5
Remember what they did to Max Cleland? And on ALBliberal Jul 2020 #7
They'll brutalize whatever candidate it is. But in the wake of the completely unaddressed Squinch Jul 2020 #24
Nonsense. This is a different sort of year and they can do that with any candidate... Demsrule86 Jul 2020 #26
So we should let the GOP dictate the pick and how we run the race? BannonsLiver Jul 2020 #29
They have obviously attacked our candidates military ALBliberal Jul 2020 #30

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
Thanks. Squinch Jul 2020 #33
by that criteria, then hiilary catsudon Jul 2020 #34
The flag humpers are racists. Duckworth would be a great VP but not because of those types JI7 Jul 2020 #12
I adore Tammy and say yes. Demsrule86 Jul 2020 #17
I think she checks all the boxes tavernier Jul 2020 #28
She's perfect on paper. I don't find her an inspirational speaker though. Bucky Jul 2020 #48
So other than one person BannonsLiver Jul 2020 #40
No longer a Duckworth fan 50 Shades Of Blue Jul 2020 #46
We have no way to stop any judges and the judges in question are in Illinois. Demsrule86 Jul 2020 #57
The fact that she was FINE with the nomination of an anti-choice judge when 50 Shades Of Blue Jul 2020 #58
Unbrilliant! ProfessorGAC Jul 2020 #60
I hope she gets the nod. If there was a chance of putting a pro-choice judge on the court, it would Demsrule86 Jul 2020 #63
She didn't just bow to a fait accompli. She added this statement: 50 Shades Of Blue Jul 2020 #65
Originally she and Hilda Solis were my top two choices. StevieM Jul 2020 #59
Absolutely no to Susan Rice...I don't want to hear about Benghazi endlessly ...yeah I know it Demsrule86 Jul 2020 #64
