61. I have been saying it will be Abrams for ages, from right after she was cheated out of the GA gov

Sun Nov 3, 2019, 11:32 PM

Nov 2019

the other 2 I would guess would be favourites (this assumes it is Biden at the top of the ticket, btw)

would be Harris (not sure, a she puts less states into sure play than Abrams)

and my dark horse for ages (even before Abrams, as he said no to running before Abrams)

Deval Patrick ....a huge favourite of Obama (he wanted him to run for POTUS in the past) a PoC, not subject to misogyny like the other 3 of our choices, and also very close to Biden in philosophical outlook and economics

Rice is a good guess, as long s Biden doesn't give a rat's arse about the Benghazi rot

and then, my choice for POTUS, Pete (again, not sure if risk-adverse Biden will roll the dice, unfortunately, due to homophobia, especially amongst my fellow PoC, although if any candidate can help him overcome that, it is Biden)

all 5 would be superb VP's

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

except warren is 70 years old right now SterlingPound Nov 2019 #1

Warren "reads" young. She could pass for 50 or 55...very energetic Dream Girl Nov 2019 #2

No. She looks like the older lady she is. Energetic and hyped-up as her delivery style is. emmaverybo Nov 2019 #17

She's younger than Biden by eight years, and looks it. n/t whathehell Nov 2019 #74

Not eight years. Well, he looks good to me. Not going to play the who is the youngest in the emmaverybo Nov 2019 #75

They both look their ages is the point. She looks good and he looks good, as the older man emmaverybo Nov 2019 #105

the chemistry is not good. Biden should choose abrams. Don't know who warren should pick yet Kurt V. Nov 2019 #4

How About Susan Rice for Biden's pick. 42bambi Nov 2019 #26

She mirror's Biden's Strengths. OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2019 #30

I think Warren would cost Biden in GE. Warren is also for what she calls "Economic Patriotism." Hoyt Nov 2019 #5

I agree she'd probably hurt him in the GE, though she might help Democratic turnout in states we're highplainsdem Nov 2019 #13

Economic Patriotism Progressive2020 Nov 2019 #66

Disagree. Economic Patriotism is treating foreign workers as scabs, and it guarantees perpetual Hoyt Nov 2019 #100

Younger running mate of color would be better: Stacy Abrams? Kamala Harris? nt IphengeniaBlumgarten Nov 2019 #6

I'd like to see Kamala Harris at the DOJ. OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2019 #11

They have been adversaries for years, so I don't see it. That clip of Warren as expert appearing hlthe2b Nov 2019 #7

Warren started sniping at Biden in print years before that hearing. Mother Jones article on that: highplainsdem Nov 2019 #12

She could comes off as bitter towards him. He deserves a loyal partner in the same mold as he was as emmaverybo Nov 2019 #19

Biden has been reticent about talking VP possibilities peggysue2 Nov 2019 #108

Yes, he stressed the kind of partnership you describe and a compatibility with his vision. emmaverybo Nov 2019 #110

I'd put money on a Biden Abrams ticket. OnDoutside Nov 2019 #9

Now that's a smart ticket mahina Nov 2019 #36

It makes sense in so many ways, plus Stacy's avoidance of OnDoutside Nov 2019 #78

I don't think it is effective to put such divergent views on one ticket EveHammond13 Nov 2019 #10

Joe's value is understanding and conveying US interests. OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2019 #15

I would love that also. I'm all for this ticket if it will work. EveHammond13 Nov 2019 #48

Biden wanted Warren as VP for the 2016 campaign he wanted to blm Nov 2019 #20

I concur with your BlueMTexpat Nov 2019 #87

Warren and Biden know it's just politics, so they can reconcile after the primary emulatorloo Nov 2019 #106

Wow. I never saw those posts. blm Nov 2019 #111

Biden should be Sec'y of State then he can focus on repairing int'l relations and the State Dept. Gidney N Cloyd Nov 2019 #23

I say this as a Warren supporter.... Boomer Nov 2019 #24

You do know that selecting a VP is a negotiation, right? OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2019 #40

No one ever signs up to be VP again after two terms in the job. Hekate Nov 2019 #52

Amy Klobuchar is closer to Biden's temperament and style. No Vested Interest Nov 2019 #37

She does remind me of Joe in Temprement. Definitely a pragmatic, centrist Democrat. OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2019 #42

Down-to-earth style; hopefully, Midwestern swing states would follow. No Vested Interest Nov 2019 #55
