this is the best ticket. So much needs to be repaired here and abroad. I really want some concentration on the Justice. Dept by someone who can oversee such a task knowledgeably.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Rachel Bitecofer, who predicted 2018 blue wave, likes a Biden/Harris ticket for 2020 [View all] highplainsdem Aug 2019 OP

Yes, she did, indeed, undercount the Dem wins of the House. Let's hope! ancianita Aug 2019 #1

Heck, no, it's not an argument against Biden. Not at all. It's an argument about strategy -- ancianita Aug 2019 #3

Her one sentence summary on Lawrence was "it's all about the (progressive) base" Fiendish Thingy Aug 2019 #4

You need to read that Twitter thread. And you're addng the word "progressive" to what she says highplainsdem Aug 2019 #5

She specifically said on Lawrence "don't worry about the moderates, inspire the base" Fiendish Thingy Aug 2019 #9

DEMOCRATS elleng Aug 2019 #13

the base includes moderates, liberals, conservatives etc . the base is people that regularly vote JI7 Aug 2019 #17

THIS. Members of the base are solid -- they turn themselves out. Hortensis Aug 2019 #21

+1 Your last sentence sums it up nicely Ponietz Aug 2019 #12

Just listened to her again. She was using "moderate" to mean "centrist independent." highplainsdem Aug 2019 #20

Yes. Or moderate conservatives. Pew says very few are genuinely Hortensis Aug 2019 #25

I do think having Harris on the ticket is a no-brainer. Laffy Kat Aug 2019 #6

I mentioned a Biden /Harris ticket to my family BigmanPigman Aug 2019 #24

There ya go, a sure thing. nt Laffy Kat Aug 2019 #29

Thanks. FASCINATING! elleng Aug 2019 #7

I love Harris; she was my original first choice, she'd be a great VP; I'd rather see her as AG. NBachers Aug 2019 #8

I also like this ticket Gothmog Aug 2019 #10

My favorite tweet: Fiendish Thingy Aug 2019 #11

Biden and Harris are pretty much the mainstream of the democratic party JI7 Aug 2019 #14

"..likes a Biden/Harris ticket for 2020" myohmy2 Aug 2019 #15

no, Warren is far better than Sanders . JI7 Aug 2019 #16

Kick! peggysue2 Aug 2019 #18

Warren is certainly doing what she advises, with excellent results. nt SunSeeker Aug 2019 #19

Bitecofer makes it clear in that Twitter thread that she thinks Sanders and Warren will continue to highplainsdem Aug 2019 #22

They're not really "dividing" them. It's more like Warren is taking them from Sanders. SunSeeker Aug 2019 #23

I didn't meant to suggest that they're dividing them evenly, though in some polls and poll averages highplainsdem Aug 2019 #26

Good for Rachel. No thanks, to the Biden/Harris ticket. nt littlemissmartypants Aug 2019 #27
