    I personally think if Biden is the nominee his VP will have to be a woman. I’d predict Harris at this point. But lots of time.

    i think Mayor Pete could be a great VP for just about anyone....but I don’t see him being picked unless someone like Warren or Harris wins the nomination. And even then...at this point I doubt it.

    but lots of time and things change.
    Biden will likely select a female minority as VP... i would be shocked if he didn't... i would be shocked if the dem ticket doesnt have a minority and/or female on the ticket.... the DNC knows Tim Kaine was a mistake as VP and a person of color could have helped energize that base to get to the polls

    Identity politics is real
    Yup. I hear the “select the best person” crowd...but in politics the best person helps win an election. A female P or VP is needed at this time. If not, if the Dems throw up 2 white guys (1 being older than some dirt), they will lose some of their messaging (generally the part I agree with the most) and will lose energy and voters.

    -Bernie
    I’d like him to transform his speech pattern. Gives me a headache. If the Dems lose again, it will be Bernie’s (and the 30-40% trump base) that are to blame for 8 years of trump

     I like Bernie but I feel like he was a good candidate for the 2016 cycle compared to the 2020 cycle. I’m not an ageist but he coming off kind of old and ornery this time around. I also think he’s over promising on policies. I don’t know.
    I like Biden but will wait to see him over the next couple weeks. I feel he def has to pick a woman or minority vp so I don’t know if Pete or Beto will work.

    Biden is going to run away with the nomination...and he should.  The only goal the Democrats should have is impeachment hearings and getting the best candidate nominated to beat Trump and that is Biden...other than his hair sniffing thing...I doubt he has left many opening for Trump...

    And what's up with all the support for a democratic controlled congress that hesitates to hold impeachment hearings when it seems like he has broken the law and continues to so?  Seems like the Congress is afraid to do their job as well...

    I’m sure the base will be fired up about Biden having a woman subordinate as his pick.  Just what they have been waiting for. 

    I hope she she keeps her hair cropped short ...

    The running mate has never been about “best person.”  When everyone was a white male, it was about age, a different geographic region, or a different part of the political spectrum (eg, moderate vs hard-right).  Now that the offices are not thought of as only for white men, there are other factors in “how will the running-mate help in the election.”

    Unless you are Hillary and pick a VP that you plan on stuffing in a locker for the next eight years.

    I guess I have to give some more thought to these statements that one of the ticket candidates needs to be a minority/woman.  I am all for that being part of the option for voters but I just feel like Trump already has the same minorities/women voting for him that he would have regardless of who opposes him in 2020.  For my thought process, I imagine what person belonging to either of those categories & who voted for an obvious bigot and misogynist in 2016 has any inclination to do anything else with their vote.  He has done nothing since taking the office to make people he things any more of women or minorities in the US...I would support the opposite position.  Everyone who this current President stomps on should be motivated to vote against him. 

    Doesn't make any difference what I think -- how people poll is what they will end up following, I am sure.  My position that this upcoming election is set up as Good vs. Evil is likely not shared by enough people for this to be their platform.  :lol: 

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Their sucking up will be disgusting to watch, especially that Meghan character. How will she segue into bragging about her daddy this time? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT!
