9. If Biden wins the nomination, he will have a person of color as his running mate, period.

Castro
Booker
Harris

Maybe one of them, most likely not from that list though...I would expect that Castro would get the most consideration as Harris and Booker might be strong candidates for cabinet slots as well, hell maybe all 3 would be...

I would expect Stacy Abrams name to come up, but not seriously be a consideration (or that she would even WANT to be considered)...

In the end, if it is Joe that wins the nomination, then Andrew Gillum would make a lot of sense in some ways, and would provide some symmetry with the 2008 and 2012 winning tickets as well.

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

I agree. saidsimplesimon Jan 2020 #7

OMG I love this Phyllis Diller gif. MontanaMama Jan 2020 #28

Firstly, Sanders does not work well with others. And, no way. Lexee Jan 2020 #2

:) But anti-government RWers would love it, and Hortensis Jan 2020 #80

Why would he choose a VP who is 78 years old? still_one Jan 2020 #4

A. Because Bernie will help carry all of the Electoral College votes in Vermont. TexasTowelie Jan 2020 #25

Bernie is NOT a team player, IMO. Happy Hoosier Jan 2020 #8

I think Warren would be a great VP also and said she was willing with HRC. Lexee Jan 2020 #12

Me too... and preferably a POC. Happy Hoosier Jan 2020 #15

If Biden wins the nomination, he will have a person of color as his running mate, period. Moostache Jan 2020 #9

I'm thinking Harris or Abrams dansolo Jan 2020 #16

I thought I had heard something about her not having a lot of interest in the VP role earlier... Moostache Jan 2020 #37

i could go with either.. samnsara Jan 2020 #59

Gillum has some problems with an FBI probe so he is out of the question. nt TexasTowelie Jan 2020 #29

FBI announced that he was not a subject of the probe mcar Jan 2020 #38

Or a Republican ArcticFox Jan 2020 #34

Kamala is the winning ticket sellitman Jan 2020 #10

That is my thought also. Doreen Jan 2020 #33

I'll embrace this!!... Guilded Lilly Jan 2020 #46

No. The nominee needs a free hand, and there almost certainly OnDoutside Jan 2020 #11

I said this the other day, that Biden people should want Warren's campaign to kick into gear. Lexee Jan 2020 #14

Yes, and I think she probably will recover somewhat. Certainly the OnDoutside Jan 2020 #32

No. highplainsdem Jan 2020 #13

Sanders isn't going to unite anything. TwilightZone Jan 2020 #17

I really want this to be the end of Sanders on and off relationship with the Democratic Party. Lexee Jan 2020 #20

I'd like Amy to have a consideration. eom sprinkleeninow Jan 2020 #45

Surprisingly has not been discussed but that would really be a solid ticket, get a woman in there Lexee Jan 2020 #50

I think this may have been put forth somewhere. sprinkleeninow Jan 2020 #57

Get past the picking on employees, people might listen to her. She was hungry and the guy she paid Lexee Jan 2020 #60

i really do like her!! samnsara Jan 2020 #61

And if anyone can unite us, my bet's on Amy. It's what she does... TreasonousBastard Jan 2020 #86

This! Today's cheap shot from the sanders campaign at Biden is typical of his divisiveness Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #24

How was 2016 'something like that' ? left-of-center2012 Jan 2020 #18

No! He will have nothing to do with Bernie- he will pick a GOP vp. Joe941 Jan 2020 #19

No he won't. Sanders is the one that holds the odds of picking a VP outside our party. Lexee Jan 2020 #21

You know that isn't going to happen...quit!! Thekaspervote Jan 2020 #26

Maybe Sanders will pick Gabbard? Dream Girl Jan 2020 #47

Harris. Chipper Chat Jan 2020 #44

No, we need a more diverse ticket than 2 white men. vsrazdem Jan 2020 #48

I COULDN'T AGREE MORE!! HERE'S THE IDEAL TICKET... InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2020 #67

don't worry.... Locrian Jan 2020 #77

Besides, when Bernie wins the nomination, he should pick Carmen Cruz for VP. vsrazdem Jan 2020 #49

We will never know the answer to that question because... Mike Nelson Jan 2020 #76

And potentially end up with a President McCarthy or Nunes?!?! No. Amimnoch Jan 2020 #78

did ms clinton unite the party by picking kaine? rampartc Jan 2020 #79

I don't think she did. That's why am asking TeamPooka Jan 2020 #85

I'll agree he's more likely to pick a Democrat than Bernie LongtimeAZDem Jan 2020 #88

There is nothing unifying about Bernie Sanders. MrsCoffee Jan 2020 #82

Biden will pick a Democrat that will tick many boxes Hav Jan 2020 #83
