Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumI still love Elizabeth, but I have the feeling that Biden will be our candidate...
and I think Amy or Kamala will be our VP. Both bring great strengths to the ticket, besides being a woman. Amy can speak to the midwest voter as no one else under consideration can. Plus, she is smart and a former prosecutor. Kamala is also a former prosecutor and a woman of color and represents the country's largest state by population.
Best of all: decency in our White House once again...

(115,280 posts)Klobuchar is one of my Senators, and I have to admit that at first I was really skeptical of her candidacy for a variety of reasons, mostly having to do with some of her positions on local issues, but she has been impressive at these debates and in Senate hearings. Though she's a still a long shot for the nomination I'd be pleased to see her as Biden's or anyone else's running mate. Since our governor is a Democrat he'd replace her with another Democrat (Al Franken? I wish!!) so there'd be no net loss there. Kamala Harris is also impressive (I was disappointed when she dropped out), and it certainly would be a good thing to have a woman/PoC on the ticket.
All of the candidates are decent people (except maybe for Gabbard, but she's out of the running). I can hardly wait until decency and honor and respect for the law are restored.

I think what will be needed to balance out Biden on the ticket will also (along with woman, POC) is YOUTH!! Someone to get young people energized and motivated.

"Decency in our White House once again" - oh yes and maybe in congress as well.

(68,352 posts)She is a great candidate. Sure I support my candidate and I worry about getting votes in the rust belt...but she is a great candidate and would make a very good president. As I think it was Buttigieg said any of those on the stage last night and some no longer on the stage (my two cents) would be so so much better in every way than Trump.

Just because you are offended by it, or dont want it to happen, or dont think it can happen, doesnt mean its not going to happen.
