    Had a difficult time choosing between Harris and Klobuchar, but Klobuchar is in the most important electoral college region (Trump nearly won MN in 16 and it’s in the same general region as key states WI MI and PA). Most importantly, she demonstrated her superior skill over Harris during the campaign. Democrats really need to energize the base, which makes Harris higher on the list than she should be. Busing, hmmm.

     Wish I lived in a world where a politician who demonstrates skill, straightforwardness and compassion publicly on a daily basis could be on the ticket, but it is unlikely an establishment NY democrat would ever get to the White House in this era.

    I tried to add “other” but was limited to 10 :)

    You really like Booker?

    Booker would have to go full-on Juwanna Mann to be selected. Remember, Joe’s picking a woman. The country’s first affirmative action presidential running-mate!

    Booker is one of the people I liked early on, when you were allowed to actually hear more than just the screaming old Jewish guy, the yelling old health care lady, and the stammering old white dude.

    Duckworth is tougher than any of them combined and her service record will avail her when Deferment Don inevitability let's his tongue dig him a shallow grave with insults on her looks or experience.

    Which ever (or whomever) gains him the most votes.  I don't care who that is.  I don't care that Biden might not be more than just a so-so president.  All I care about is that Trump is not re-elected.  Period!

    Part of me would like Michelle Obama, but the other part says do we really need another political Dynasty in this country.

    Cuomo is generating TV time that's second only to Trump ... seems like a logical choice unless you did something stupid like make an unforced proclamation that comes back to bite you in the butt.

    Any Bernie votes not already guaranteed by the need to defeat Trump are unlikely to be guaranteed by AOC or anyone else.

    I checked it out and you are correct.  That s crazy! 

    In 1783, William Pitt The Younger became the youngest prime minister of England at the age of 24.  He worked with William Wilberforce to end slavery in Great Britain.  I see no reason to have younger people in a higher office.  Old people suck.

    Oh, wait, I'm old.  Strike that last comment.  :lol:

    I change mine to Stacey Abrams.  If African Americans stay home like they did in 2016, it's gonna be tough to beat the rigged machines.
