23. Without question

Perfect choice.

[dchill]

24. Best choice by far. By far!

[Traildogbob]

26. My exact instant thought.

Put out a list of his team ASAP. He has a binder full of Amazing women we need immediately. Dream Team 2020. Michelle Obama to relieve RBG so she can get far away from Kavanaigh. Just being on a bench near him has to be making her ill. The only old white man I want near the White House is Joe. Fill every position with women of every ethnicity.

[AZ8theist]

38. "binder full of Amazing women".....

I see what you did there....

Only THIS TIME it actually means something...not an EMPTY PATRONIZING bunch of BULLSHIT.

There are SO MANY qualified women to populate this administration it humbles me. THAT coming from a sixty something fat white guy...

Unlike Pence the Putz, I AM NOT AFRAID OR INTIMIDATED BY POWERFUL WOMEN. I welcome them into our party, and look forward to the amazing governess they will provide.

You GO GIRL!!

Madam PRESIDENT 2024 or 2028!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Traildogbob]

46. Yes sir

Us 60 something old white men have seen a thing or two. Those that did not have their heads up their white ass. Serving during war does that. The talent out there for Joe is like having his own Fantasy football team on draft day and nobody else is picking. Past time for women to take the wheel. They have been picking up after men since the beginning. Now though, shit has been flung on the ceiling, walls and floors. Work to do to save a dying nation. GOP need to stay the hell out tha way.

[Aristus]

47. I'm a fifty-something old white man, and I'm with you 100%.

[Traildogbob]

48. We all gotta unite now

And end the GOP.

[CaptYossarian]

27. Yes. Then the right nations will talk to us once again.

[Rebl2]

30. That's my thought too

[calimary]

[DippyDem]

[TomSlick]

45. I hope that you are correct.

I cannot imagine a better choice.

[smirkymonkey]

[Andy823]

9. I am sure she will

have a job in Biden's administration if she wants it, along with many of the others who Joe vetted!

[peacebuzzard]

10. Rice, Warren, Bottoms et al, were all super qualified; Harris will be a strong VP

There will be room at the top for all of them.
This is a great set of lady representatives, hard road of work ahead and we need all of them.

[wendyb-NC]

11. Kamla Harris is is a truly great choice.

I'm so glad he picked her, and he picked a woman of color. I feel she is right for this time in so many ways. Congratulations to her and the future potus.

[mcar]

12. Classy

[hamsterjill]

13. Most gracious.

Class act. I hope Susan Rice will have a big role in the administration.

[Ilsa]

14. trump can't understand that.

To him, it's a weakness.

He's such a putz.

[hamsterjill]

16. Absolutely - you're right.

We need to bring some grace and dignity back to the White House.

Blue all the way!!!!

[volstork]

17. Class act.

This is what it looks like.

[crickets]

20. Agreed! All of the women considered for VP are stepping up with grace today.

It's truly wonderful and unifying.

[volstork]

32. Absolutely agree!

[ElementaryPenguin]

18. Susan was my pick for V.P. - but she'd make a great Secretary of State!

Classy, brilliant woman!!!

[Martin Eden]

28. She was mine too

Looking forward now:
Beat Trump, then govern!

[roamer65]

19. She's the next SoS.

Putin hates her. That is a BIG plus.

[oasis]

21. President Biden's Chief of Staff. A valuable, loyal advisor. nt

[relayerbob]

22. Put me in the Sec of State category too

She would be excellent in that role

[Canoe52]

25. KnR!!!

[dixiechiken1]

29. She's a class act.

[StevieM]

34. All class. She will make an outstanding Secretary of State. (eom)

[MontanaMama]

35. Class act.

All the way.

[Scarsdale]

36. Class, pure class.

Any one of the women on the list would have made an excellent running mate. Everyone of them is highly intelligent, strong and personable. I hope they all are given prominent roles in the administration, since they all deserve to hold a position of influence. Supremely qualified.

[Evolve Dammit]

40. Biden should surround himself with his "staff to be" and appointments asap. Let's get it out there.

[kyburbonkid]

41. Susan Rice was my first choice...

She is incredibly smart and a total class act. Total class. However, you could tell that the repugs were readying the cannons fodder for her with a whole new batch of fake BS Benghazi... Benghazi... Benghazzzziiiii! all over again. So Kamala was my second choice; a true no-nonsense politician that knows the ropes of the senate and can battle with the best of them. She has a lot of appeal across many states. If the trumpets have anything, she will send it back right at them. Politically, Kamala is the best choice, and she will do well So all good. We really do need competence back in the WH.

[Awsi Dooger]

51. I think Rice would have been the pick amidst less uncertainty

Let's say the race were solid 8+ points and no concern regarding USPS. I sense Biden and team would have risked all that Benghazi chatter to go with his preferred choice. But given minor tightening and now the USPS uncertainty toward how it impacts the vote, I think they debated back and forth for an extra 10 days before concluding it had to be the safer more strategic pick.

Perfectly understandable even if I would have gone the other way.

Damn shame that Rice went on those Sunday talk shows. One decision severely impacting her career, compared to hundreds of things exponentially worse from Trump each and every week.

[sarchasm]

43. KnR!

[colorado_ufo]

44. Ms. Rice was my VP pick, but would be an amazing Sec of State!

Gracious.
