    Amy Klobuchar.  I think she is the most qualified and there is something about her I find rather sexy.  I'm sure I'm in the minority with the latter statement, but I have a very broad taste in women.

    I had a hard time choosing between Whitmer and Klobuchar.

    Cuomo has done a remarkable job at standing up for himself and his state. But Joe already committed to picking a woman as his running mate.

    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!
    What Brian just said, I agree. I'll add if his choice can be a woman to earn a win I'll take that in a heartbeat.

    If, no when Biden wins he'll be walking into a critical economic situation similar to what Obama had to deal with. Why is it that a Democratic president has to come into office with the economy in shambles?

    Not sure, to be honest. I do agree with Brian's statement about the votes, though. Whoever it is...just beat Trump/Pence.

    It is likely to be trump/Haley,  I think. But either way, I agree.

    Looks like Whitmer is taking some heat from the conservative faction over her stay at home order.

    The headline doesn't really tell the story. She's doing crazy stuff like not allowing Target to sell things like seeds, gardening equipment, baby car seats, or paint. If you have an in-state vacation house, you're not allowed to travel to it. It's hard enough to stay at home; if you don't give people some leeway they'll give it up altogether soon.

    I know. I read all of that. There has been a petition signed by several hundred thousand as well. It's an interesting stance and some of it I don't understand, but this could hurt her viability as a VP choice if she is imposing authoritarian type restrictions, even though the current dip shit  in chief just made himself out to be a dictator.

    I agree completely. If he's demanding things loosen up (even if it's too soon) and she's not allowing people to plant tomatoes, that's not a lesser-of-two-evils decision you want to force people into making.

    He’ll probably pick Harris. Maybe Klobuchar.

    God I hope it’s the latter if it’s one of those two.  Partially because I think Amy is the better pick electorally (Biden will already have success with Harris’ base, Amy brings some midwestern support). Partially because I think she could be a fine-enough President if Biden keels over and dies. And lastly, because I cannot stand Harris.

    he needs to pick michelle obama.

    he needs an earthshaker. someone who will help to electify the base. i am sorry, i love most of the women listed. i want warren, or abrams, or harris, but i do not see klobuchar or the like exciting the base.

    what if he picks tulsi? someone to siphon moderates and republicans away from trump?

    Tulsi is overrated

    Tulsi’s repellent and says weird shit. They need to forget about pulling votes from trump and they have to go for high turnout, in particular with swing states.

    Meh, nothing crazy that I’ve seen. Burger King drive thru packed, Home Depot packed ect.ect.
    I’m working even more overtime. Lots of leeway.

    That's part of the problem.
    Target shouldn't be packed.
    Don't go to the store unless you absolutely need to.
