20. And to win the election you have to win the electoral college

Harris comes from a solid blue state and doesn’t help flip any swing states. So if you want to win the election there are better choices than Harris.

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

I prefer her for Attorney General relayerbob Apr 2020 #1

In a perfect world, I agree. But this time we need to win the election above all else. mobeau69 Apr 2020 #2

There are other great choices relayerbob Apr 2020 #7

Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, Adam Schiff, just to name a few padah513 Apr 2020 #14

Sally Yates, definitely dansolo Apr 2020 #21

Adam Schiff? Please no. oldsoftie Apr 2020 #26

Plus, Adam Schiff is doing a great job in the House. Laelth Apr 2020 #29

Preet or Sally would be my choice. Adam is best in the House. We need him there soooooo much! onetexan Apr 2020 #45

He already committed to choosing a woman.... Upthevibe Apr 2020 #56

Obama came from a solid blue state, and picked a VP from a solid blue state... SKKY Apr 2020 #23

It mattered last time. And Biden isnt Obama oldsoftie Apr 2020 #27

Joe dies. This isnt new; he's even mentioned it himself. oldsoftie Apr 2020 #24

Hear! Hear! n/t Laelth Apr 2020 #30

Why would he die? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #42

Well, the life expectancy of a man born in '43 is about 63. Joe is 77. It HAS to be considered. oldsoftie Apr 2020 #50

That's a great argument Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #51

Oh lord. Ignoring reality is what helps trump. Who also happens to be 74 in a few weeks. oldsoftie Apr 2020 #53

OK Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #55

And there's the answer! Because it WILL be brought up. oldsoftie Apr 2020 #57

Let them bring it up Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #61

"no brainer" That's a very unfortunate image in relation to aging Joe Biden fpublic Apr 2020 #12

... padah513 Apr 2020 #15

Can you back up WHY it will be Kamala ? Why is it a no-brainer ? OnDoutside Apr 2020 #13

It's not a no brainer at all. Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #17

mobeau69, Mayor Pete is highly intelligent and answers questions better than pretty much anyone. Sloumeau Apr 2020 #18

I think Mayor Pete would make a great Chief of Staff exboyfil Apr 2020 #34

I agree. Sloumeau Apr 2020 #36

Whoever the pick is, it will be the make or break of the campaign IMO. oldsoftie Apr 2020 #25

I agree 100%. It seems to me to be a perfect choice. nt Ferrets are Cool Apr 2020 #31

Her infamous debate moment will be a constant 24/7 Fox News loop that will be a huge distraction Skya Rhen Apr 2020 #37

I have said one name for VP for over a year, so why stop now, Stacey Abrams Celerity Apr 2020 #40

Has Stacey Abrams endorsed anyone as yet? Skya Rhen Apr 2020 #48

Biden any minute, now that Bernie is out. She maintained neutrality due to her national GOTV efforts Celerity Apr 2020 #49
