Our nominee with choose a VP early

[evertonfc]

Unlike our last two nominees who have won the Presidency ( young and/or minority), it looks like our nominee this cycle will be white and much older. This begs for a running mate that is youthful and or a more accurate representation of our base, a person of color. Two names are glaring. Abrams AND Gillum. Both came within a few thousand votes of winning in southern, conservative states. Better yet, both ran unusually progressive campaigns in those states. To be fair, as someone from the south, even in losing, thier campaigns were extraordinary successes. I think our nominee with choose early and it won't be someone they have shared the stage with.

1. I think it will be Abrams, if it's Biden.

2. I like your thinking, but , I don't think it will work in the larger picture.

I think a Biden /Bullock ticket with Biden announcing he will only run for one term in order to bring order would be a winner. .
Once said order is regained, we can transition to younger more progressive leaders.

Just one old man's wishful thinking.

10. No, turning yourself into a lame duck would cause a loss of stature or power...should biden decide

not to run, you announce it at the end of the term...not the beginning. And consider if folks were looking for young...70+ year olds would not be leading the primary now/people here think that is a good idea...not in the country.

4. Wow, I totally missed the ENTIRE

primary process?

Must have overslept. But, if it's already a done deal...my guess is that he'll choose a white guy who is slightly younger than he is and in the mold of a Joe Manchin type.

6. Polling

points to Biden or Warren. I mean, that what I'm saying.

7. Well, I keep hearing that the only possible outcome

is Biden as the nominee, his fan club speaks as if it is already done. So, I figured I just missed the entire thing.

8. And his fan club is huge on this site and with corporate dems but

that's not the grassroots and the majority of Democrats who want bigger and fairer changes in this country.

5. Biden/Harris

99.9% sure

9. Biden has strong support among minorities--I think he will go with Amy as

VP to help in the midwest.
