Comedian for VP [View all]

Hillary's defeat started with her choice of Tim Kaine as her VP. Tim is a fine person but he was even dryer then Hillary and lost to Pence in the VP debate. Democrats need to be thinking aggressively in 2020 and need a strong attack dog in VP. Choosing another dry politician for VP could be catastrophic. I suggest going outside convention and choosing a comedian (or at least in that genre of skills). If either of Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Samatha Bee, Seth Meyers et al would be available. I think they would be killer at counter attacking Trump's antics.

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

Ted Lieu blm Nov 2019 #1

Love Ted Lieu! I've posted so many of his tweets here at DU, usually in GD. And he'd be a great VP! highplainsdem Nov 2019 #3

While I love Ted, I don't think he'd be eligible to be POTUS or VP since PunkinPi Nov 2019 #10
