A Biden/Harris ticket is looking better and better...

[highplainsdem]

They're both doing really well tonight.

[calguy]

1. I'd vote for it

[aaaaaa5a]

2. I agree. I think that is a winner! NT.

[stewrat]

3. I'ld like to see that...

with Biden serving 1 term and passing the torch to Harris.

[dhill926]

13. Exactly what I would love to see happen...

[UniteFightBack]

4. Formidable ticket. nt

[OhZone]

5. I thought that -

months ago!

haha

[pnwest]

6. Right up until she ate his lunch on the

debate stage just now! WOW did she go after him!

[Celerity]

8. +1

[Baclava]

11. Wow indeed! Shredded him, Warren/Biden looking better! lol n/t

[Doreen]

28. I would like that also but don't they really dislike each other?

[MurrayDelph]

59. I like the idea of Warren/Castro better

with Biden as Secretary of State.

[DemocracyMouse]

68. Warren/Harris or Harris/Warren

They would kick ass.

[MurrayDelph]

69. I love them both

But we can't afford to lose them both from the Senate.

[DemocracyMouse]

70. Oh, good point!

[Still In Wisconsin]

64. She absolutely destroyed Biden. He's done.

It happens... and I'd be very excited to have Sen. Harris as the nominee.

[Pisces]

7. Agree 100%!!

[Autumn]

9. Don't think that's going to happen.

She went there, more than once.

[Jersey Devil]

14. and she went way over the line

No coming back from that.

[Green Line]

16. Yes she did

[Thekaspervote]

48. +1000

[Autumn]

21. No she went where she needed to go. nt

[Jersey Devil]

23. She was blowing up the debate to get the cameras on herself

Painting Joe as though he is some kind of racist was shameful. Her candidacy so far is stuck in the mud and other candidates are passing her in the polls. She needed a Hail Mary so she threw one. But it fell in the end one incomplete.

[cannabis_flower]

43. Nope...

he paints himself that by not just saying that he was wrong... He can't seem to acknowledge that his position was wrong and that his views have changed but has to defend his position. I see the same thing with him defending some of those awful 80's drug laws that he helped write and pass. He still defends them. He is unable to admit in hindsight that they contributed to the criminalization of a large swath of poor, young and black citizens.

[uponit7771]

46. +1, Biden was Obama's VP ... no on is holding what he did 1341234 years ago against him

[Thekaspervote]

49. How true!

[bsiebs]

57. Just say you were wrong...

Trump won’t do it, but smart Democrats can. I was a Biden supporter. But he’s losing me...

[uponit7771]

60. +1, This !!!! Even Obama evolved on gay marriage IINM

[RHMerriman]

53. True that... she sounded like a child ... "your words are hurtful"?

True that... she sounded like a child ... "your words are hurtful"?

Does she think Trump is going to be apologetic if she says he's mean?

Attack your opponents actions, not their words.

Pathetic.

[Doreen]

32. I understand her point but she went overboard with her attack.

[onetexan]

18. yea i'm not sure that Kamala throwing Joe under the bus a couple times there was a good idea

though Joe and Obama had some brushups during the 2008 lead-up as well. O ended up choosing Joe as a runningmate.

[Autumn]

22. How does the truth equal throwing him under the bus?

[onetexan]

24. what Kamala said wasn't truth, it was taking Joe's words out of context madame

[emmaverybo]

27. No, she was not accurate and he was on this issue. And yes, she chose to become a prosecutor,

and he a public defender.

[onetexan]

30. yes that was an excellent rebut on Joe's part

[Autumn]

29. Her story was her truth and she let it out there.

[Firebrand Gary]

10. Must've been an early thread...

[ecstatic]

12. lol! nt

[Celerity]

17. thread winner, lolol

[pnwest]

47. Lmao

[Princetonian]

15. Being good at soundbites doesn't mean they'd make a good POTUS

After all, Trump excelled in his debates.

That being said, I like almost all our candidates.

[lunatica]

44. Trump only excelled in nicknaming his opponents

Though to say he excelled is way too generous.

[ashredux]

19. What ticket can beat Trump is the question...the only question

Biden is a “change Agent” of sorts. He can pull the folks back who voted for Obama and voted for trump. with Harris he can bring in the new era of the Democratic Party

[emmaverybo]

36. That is the question, the only question. As articulate, appealing, sharp and well delivered both

Buttigieg and Harris’s presentations were, neither has a prayer to beat Trump in the GE.

[Thekaspervote]

50. Agree

[grantcart]

20. Great night for Democrats. Bad night for Trump.

[James48]

25. I think Sanders did best

Was the most sincere of all.

I think Biden did poorly.

Others were a mixed bag for me. Just saying.

I’m still undecided.

[Still In Wisconsin]

65. I thought Sanders was awful.

He just looked like a crazy, yelling old man. The audience actually laughed at him at one point.

[zentrum]

26. She can't be his VP

.....after how tone deaf he was about her concerns about busing and Eastland.

[highplainsdem]

34. I guess you're unaware of all the POTUS/VP combinations that were political rivals at one time

and very critical of each other.

[Honeycombe8]

31. Couldn't they have Buttigieg as an alternate? For either position?

[Celerity]

35. +10000

[customerserviceguy]

33. If she keeps on trying to gut him

it ain't gonna happen.

[emmaverybo]

38. No idea why she did this, go for bust or honestly thought she has a real shot. NT

[Thekaspervote]

52. IMHO a Hail Mary pass that fell way short. She didn't do herself any good tonight

[emmaverybo]

61. I don't think she would deserve any good that might come from her "move." I have lost some

admiration for her. .

[LeftTurn3623]

62. Are you kidding me?

Fell short? All the media is talking about is how she won the debate. It increased her stock.

She was on fire and was clearly the best person tonight on stage.

She absolutely made the right choice politically. I know it hurt for Biden supporters seeing him squirm cause she lit him up.

I do believe that Biden recovered nicely by the end of the debate and he might drop a little but he will still be the front runner but I expect Harris numbers to rise a lot

[onetexan]

66. Yes, she's behind in the polls so dhe decided to throw

The kitchen sink at Joe.bad move.

[bdamomma]

37. I think

that's the ticket too, but I like Warren too. They are all good. Biden, Booker, Harris, Castro, Mayor Pete, and Warren. We have a good team.

[helpisontheway]

39. Hell no..maybe before tonight but now no..she crossed the line

and I doubt he would choose her if he is the nominee.

[FakeNoose]

58. It's still a long way off - more than a year to go

A lot of things can happen between now and next July. I think Kamala would be an awesome choice of running mate for Joe, or anyone really. She's still in her first term as a Senator and frankly she needs more experience before she'll be ready to run the government. But I do like her and I think she's the future of our Party.

Just sayin'

[Doreen]

40. My thoughts are Biden/Harris or Warren/Buttigieg or Buttigieg/Warren or Harris/Buttigieg or

Buttigieg/Harris. I am still undecided but those seem really good now.

[lambchopp59]

41. I'd vote for that. I'd vote for my dog if he ran as Dem to rid of Trump

Harris was my first choice. Then I went more radical for my kind, I expect Pete to serve in many capacities but never give up. Someday, Boomer's, we'll have a first husband in the WH, Str8 or LGBT.
I want younger blood in office, period, and couldn't give a rat's ass about anyone "reaching across the isle" to decrepit and malicious Republican thugs.
Yes, Joe Biden will restore us to "normal".
But it won't be enough to fix the mess without having the likes of Harris keep his Boomer ass from kowtowing to Rethugs.
Remember, debates and campaigns promise the moon and stars, then deliver moon nuggets.
Our younger candidates will push, fight, outlive and oust the corporatist puppets to get this right-swung pendulum back left.

[relayerbob]

42. But will he accept being VP again? :-)

[musicblind]

63. If Kamal Harris received the nomination and offered it to him

because she felt doing so was the best way to win, then yes he SHOULD accept.

This is about beating Trump. All personal considerations and all egos should be set aside in the service of making sure that happens.

[TryLogic]

45. I see that Biden is one year older than I am.

Permit me to describe what it is like to be 75-76.

I am quite healthy and active. I play pickleball 2 or 3 times a week for about 2 hours. I cannot play more often because I get too tired. Incidentally, I am very carefully about what I eat and drink in order to try to maintain optimal health. I need no prescription drugs. I do take supplements.

When I get tired I experience some mental dullness. The words I need do not come to mind easily.

I often dose off in my chair in the evening when watching TV. (I always watch Rachel.)

If I am tired, I sometimes dose off while sitting at my computer, perhaps playing Freecell.

I am intelligent and educated -- I have two master's degrees (theoretical math and counseling psychology).

With apologies to Biden and Biden supporters, should I try to do the most difficult job in the world, president of the United States? No way.

[Tiggeroshii]

51. She wouldn't stand for that

And she choose him as her vp either

[awesomerwb1]

54. Didn't like how aggressively Harris went after Biden

Just not my cup of tea. I guess desperate times and all that. Pass.

[JoeOtterbein]

55. Sorry, but Joe flopped tonight. Putting Haris as second is adding insult upon injury to her. nt

[Bradical79]

56. I really really hope not -nt

[Lordquinton]

67. Warren/Harris would be even better
