Adam Schiff

I just read that. Maybe it's BS - I hope it is. But why is anyone especially Democrats - trying to stir the pot and kick Joe out at this late date?

Why do people ignore Harris as the obvious replacement? LonePirate Jul 2024 #1

So then why does Biden have to step down? edisdead Jul 2024 #3

Exactly I don't understand this push. She's already on the ticket. Walleye Jul 2024 #6

Because people don't really vote for VP ITAL Jul 2024 #14

Oh I think our current Vp is part of the reason for the call edisdead Jul 2024 #25

Perhaps for some ITAL Jul 2024 #37

Got it. edisdead Jul 2024 #59

I have to agree. I have friends who are leery of a woman. Biophilic Jul 2024 #76

Good grief. No. Biophilic Jul 2024 #136

I Agree RobinA Jul 2024 #85

You posted the hypothetical and asked people to name names. LonePirate Jul 2024 #9

Right you hijacked the thread edisdead Jul 2024 #26

Stating the obvious is hijacking a thread? LonePirate Jul 2024 #33

Thread wasn't asking that. edisdead Jul 2024 #62

Your subject line included these exact words "Give me one fucking name." LonePirate Jul 2024 #72

It said convince me and START with the name. edisdead Jul 2024 #94

Well, it just further looks like this thread was flame bait from the first, so if someone is flaming, BComplex Jul 2024 #113

Whoa, that was unnecessary. Envirogal Jul 2024 #45

Yes. Not trying to be rude to her. edisdead Jul 2024 #66

Aggression isn't helpful. Doodley Jul 2024 #132

I don't think Lone Pirate had the intent of hijacking thread FHRRK Jul 2024 #61

Once again and I don't mean to be rude. edisdead Jul 2024 #68

It's a discussion board FHRRK Jul 2024 #93

Here's the beauty of Harris as VP ... aggiesal Jul 2024 #146

If she were an acceptable caniddate to the money people Bettie Jul 2024 #11

The knives are already being sharpened for her. shrike3 Jul 2024 #22

Exactly. There is an automatic replacement. Irish_Dem Jul 2024 #27

Oh, so just "poof in" a replacement and don't the voters a say? Is the Dem party now a dictatorship? Deek1935 Jul 2024 #60

I think Irish was meaning after the election. edisdead Jul 2024 #69

It's a little disingenuous to claim the voters had a say Alpeduez21 Jul 2024 #70

it is a national election. edisdead Jul 2024 #97

Our primary in Florida was cancelled. That a lot of people. kerry-is-my-prez Jul 2024 #130

Hi Deek, how ya doing? Irish_Dem Jul 2024 #71

A brilliant, very qualified and experienced VP btw. bullimiami Jul 2024 #30

Do you really have to ask? ms liberty Jul 2024 #35

She is behind Biden. Voters would want a SAY. TONS of people would say "SHE CAN'T WIN!" for a host of reasons. Deek1935 Jul 2024 #39

Because she's a big part of their problem with Biden's age, a woman of color. Sickening we can do it Jul 2024 #82

This is true. edisdead Jul 2024 #99

Because she's already on the ticket Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Jul 2024 #86

Gender and skin color. I hope the women in this country are taking note. onecaliberal Jul 2024 #115

because this party harbors deep resentment against black voters MistakenLamb Jul 2024 #124

Because, she will lose. Butterflylady Jul 2024 #147

Continue to talk tough while hiding behind fake name Kaleva Jul 2024 #28

Talk tough? edisdead Jul 2024 #36

You telling people to shut the fuck up Kaleva Jul 2024 #49

And a typical response to people that get offended by the word fuck edisdead Jul 2024 #74

The question shouldn't be to name someone, it should be who is behind keeping this crap going. lees1975 Jul 2024 #4

Putin Walleye Jul 2024 #7

Meh do we believe Putin has gotten to schiff? edisdead Jul 2024 #10

Putin is behind Trump, everything done in Trump's name is probably approved by Putin Walleye Jul 2024 #16

Schiff killed his own credibility saying "Another candidate would be WAY ahead right now." That is beyond STUPID! Deek1935 Jul 2024 #48

Schiff wants to be the nominee. redstatebluegirl Jul 2024 #142

EXACTLY! Attilatheblond Jul 2024 #12

People like the OP keep this thing going. Kaleva Jul 2024 #31

Nope and you still havent replied. edisdead Jul 2024 #40

You are not my boss Kaleva Jul 2024 #53

So insults. edisdead Jul 2024 #78

This is what I want to know. Who is pulling the strings? Irish_Dem Jul 2024 #32

Big Donors. They run in the same circles. They do business together. haele Jul 2024 #57

I think it Axelrod and his clan. He has been against Biden for a very long time Bev54 Jul 2024 #140

Joe has all the votes/delegates he needs to be the nominee .... Botany Jul 2024 #8

Kamala Harris? Or is that a fucking worthless opinion? Autumn Jul 2024 #13

I would love to see her as president, but Joe doesn't need to step aside, she's already on the ticket Walleye Jul 2024 #17

She is on the ticket. There is no need for Joe to drop out. edisdead Jul 2024 #19

Leading Democrats are calling for Biden to step down. You think it's going to stop? Autumn Jul 2024 #23

Ok who is her VP edisdead Jul 2024 #43

I think Mossfern Jul 2024 #116

She would pick former NC GOV Cooper or KY GOV Beshear. Funtatlaguy Jul 2024 #126

Your post has irked a lot of people SCantiGOP Jul 2024 #141

What about HER VP? Mad_Machine76 Jul 2024 #20

I would think she would select a VP. nt Autumn Jul 2024 #24

Of course she would Mad_Machine76 Jul 2024 #42

You should call any of the 19 or 20 elected Democrats who are calling Autumn Jul 2024 #77

Are you calling for Joe to step down? edisdead Jul 2024 #81

They don't seem to reaalize Mad_Machine76 Jul 2024 #92

Maybe they have the whole thing planned out and they are just getting Autumn Jul 2024 #96

Enough on board right up until November? Doc Sportello Jul 2024 #125

Ok who is that going to be? edisdead Jul 2024 #46

Whoever she wants to chose. I think Pete Buttigieg would be good. Autumn Jul 2024 #73

So why did you reply? edisdead Jul 2024 #83

Because I can and I'm opinionated. nt . Autumn Jul 2024 #88

But you haven't even addressed the post at all. edisdead Jul 2024 #102

You forgot to change your OP. I did suggest a VP for Harris. Pete Buttigieg. Autumn Jul 2024 #121

Does Adam Schiff think he'll run for Potus in 2028? flamingdem Jul 2024 #15

How do you run for president after tearing up your party during Irish_Dem Jul 2024 #34

Especially if losing that election could mean the de facto end of that party... Harker Jul 2024 #44

And the end of democracy. Irish_Dem Jul 2024 #47

You know plenty, and you know the stakes. Harker Jul 2024 #56

Yep it is pedal to the metal or we lose it all. Irish_Dem Jul 2024 #91

Easy. He knows he'd be guaranteed a huge soap box Klarkashton Jul 2024 #87

Thanks johnny for making suggestions. Great for 2028. Whitmer and Newsome both behind Biden 100% for 2024 though. emulatorloo Jul 2024 #101

None of those 3 poll better than Biden. And there is no "e" at the end of Newsom. SunSeeker Jul 2024 #109

Thanks for correcting me. I thought we were always told to ignore the polls? johnnyplankton Jul 2024 #131

People who want Biden to step down are justifying it by pointing to polls. SunSeeker Jul 2024 #145
