Who do you want Joe Biden to pick for VP?

[jorgevlorgan]

I'm split between Duckworth, Whitmer and Bass. I guess I'm leaning Whitmer based on the fact she has had governing experience.

1. Liz, then Rice for me ... though I'd hate to lose Warren's seat ...

I want Kamala for USAG!

And if Rice isn't VP, I think she'd be a great SoS choice.

Though Sally Yates would be a nice option there too.

29. Warren for Treasury, Commerce or Majority Leader if we win the Senate.

Not smart to have an all-white ticket of two septuagenarians when we are the party of diversity. We need someone younger also and preferably a woman of color in this time of racial strife.

[backtoblue]

3. What baggage do you think she would bring?

At this point I dont think Joe can make a bad choice among these great women.

[Polybius]

36. I know you weren't asking me, but I can think of one thing

She's very progressive on gun-control, which may not be a good fit this year especially. She even supported the ill-fitted San Francisco Proposition H, a 2005 law that was struck down as unconstitutional.

[DonaldsRump]

4. Gosh, there are SO MANY low posters on DU advocating Susan Rice

I wonder what's up?

Russia: "If you're listening, we know you love Susan Rice". Your puppet Trump sucks eggs.

[Autumn]

6. Four of the five who want Rice have been here way longer than you have. Rice worked for Obama.

I wonder what's up?

[DonaldsRump]

8. I've actually been here since November 2004

What's up with you?

[Autumn]

10. Your profile must be glitched. It says Member since: Wed Nov 30, 2016,

[DonaldsRump]

15. Not sure why you are so obsessed with me

But I have been observing since the second election of W since November 2004.

So let me give you some smiles: .

[Autumn]

18. I'm not obsessed with you. Never encountered you before, I commented on your remark about

other posters. Maybe the ones you are calling Russian trolls because their post count isn't as high as yours have lurked and not posted, just like you lurked but didn't join.

[Celerity]

21. bazinga

[DonaldsRump]

25. You seem to obsessed with a person who has never held an elected political office. Why?

[DonaldsRump]

16. Rice has never held an elected position.

Lot's of folks worked for BHO. Very few of them held an elected office.

[Autumn]

19. And an elected office means nothing. She worked in Obama's administration and that's good enough

for me. She might as well have her first elected office be VP.

[DonaldsRump]

24. If you want another Trump, that's fine

Kamala Harris is far more suitable to be VP, as is Val Demings, Elizabeth Warren etc.

I really don't want another person with no political experience. Susan Rice would be fine for Secretary of State.

Why exactly are you so obsessed with her, since she has no elected political experience?

[Autumn]

27. She's on his list, it's logical to discuss her. On a message board,in a thread where she is in an OP

Obsessed?

[DonaldsRump]

31. Yes, especially you

SHE HAS NEVER RUN FOR POLITICAL OFFICE. WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHY SHE IS NOT SUITABLE TO RUN FOR VP WITH BIDEN?

She is superb. Do not get me wrong on that. But she needs to have GOVERNING experience, and she does not have that. There is nothing strange about this.

What I do find strange is the number of folks of DU with an obsession to nominate a person with no elected experience. You happen to have a high post count, but MANY who support Susan Rice do not.

With respect to all, I like Susan Rice...I personally do not see her as one step away from being President. I do see that for Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, and Val Demings, to name a few.

[Autumn]

37. Do you NOT understand she worked for Obama in his administration, she's very intelligent and

is PREFECT for the JOB. She doesn't have the baggage that Harris has. As a POC I prefer Rice!!!!!!!!!

If you have a problem with me stating my choice just scroll on by. Because you will in no way change my mind.

[DonaldsRump]

38. Lots of folks worked for BHO

I'm a POC too. My point is she has never had an elected office.

Feel free to scroll down too.

Have a great weekend!

[WheelWalker]

30. Malarkey. Susan Rice is no Trump. Former elective office means nil. I'll tell you what does...

Stature, Intellect, Experience, Compatibility, Knowledge, Readiness. Rice checks all the boxes. She my choice for sound and relevant reasons.

[Funtatlaguy]

12. Some think Rice would bring Benghazi baggage. I preferHarris.

[judeling]

22. Confront don't try and avoid its coming in one way or another.

The major attacks coming for Biden will be Foreign policy. The Barr dump and all the rest. Rice trips it early and can be left to handle most of it, leaving Biden mostly out of the fire. All of Rice's baggage is shared by Biden. Spread the attacks in August against both instead of in October against one.

[brush]

28. Harris is the perfect attack dog VP pick. The way she grilled Barr...

and Kavanaugh in those Senate hearing, she had both of them sweating bullets. She will go after trump's silly statements which will make the news and make him seen even stupider. Just think how she will run circles around trump acolyte/sycophant Pence at the VP debate.

And since you mentioned her baggage, I suppose you never heard of a little thing calle Benghazi, re: Rice?

[progressive nobody]

5. I am torn between Rice and Warren.

[torius]

9. same.

[lostnfound]

14. Same.

[dixiechiken1]

32. Ditto...

And I would put Duckworth on the list, as well. Those are my top three.

Guess we'll know soon enough.

[LakeArenal]

7. I want Joe to pick the one he wants.

[Funtatlaguy]

11. ABB. Anybody But Bass.

The Castro and Scientology stuff would make us lose Florida.
Both are hated there in Miami and Tampa Bay (Clearwater).

[calguy]

13. Ari I did a nice piece on Karen Bass tonight

Was very impressive, although I still prefer Kamala.

[StarfishSaver]

17. I like them all and think each of them has strengths that would make them great running mates

But I think Kamala checks all the boxes and that gives her the edge over everyone else.

[dmr]

20. I totally agree.

I think she has a lot to offer. All of his choices are worthy, but as you say "Kamala checks all the boxes".

[Blue_true]

23. I believe that the person will be Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico.

She has all the requisite experience that Joe says he needs, and she is the only choice that most likely make key purple and red states blue. She likely gives Joe, Florida, Arizona and likely Texas.

[Doodley]

26. Harris or Rice. Harris would be more of a firebrand, an attack dog and may attract more

attention, and therefore be more effective in her takedowns of Trump and Pence. Rice is a steady pair of hands, more like Biden, but maybe won't have the same impact.

[redstateblues]

33. Harris will be our next VP. Take it to the bank.

[jorgevlorgan]

34. We can venmo?

I bet it won't be Harris.

[littlemissmartypants]

35. Keisha Lance Bottoms. ❤ nt
