Val Demmings for VP

[evertonfc]

Keep your eye on this woman. She's tough as nails and a popular African American congressman from a swing state- Florida. She is from a swing district in Orlando too. Her life story is one from rags to becoming Orlando's first female police chief. Her lead role in the Senate impeachment hearings was quite impressive. I dont think Biden will pick another Senator or anyone he shared the debate stage with. This woman is tough as they come and very popular in Florida. A law and order VP would be a nice contrast to the GOP ticket. She is apparently a favorite of Schumer.

1. Lets get Biden over the goal line first

but I would definately think that Val Demmings should be considered.

2. Love Val.

She was GREAT at the impeachment hearings.

3. She has gravitas and can be taken seriously - would be an excellent pick. Also she has Joe's back.

4. Your strategy is very sound

A ticket is stitched together with big pieces that fit well. I can't comment on her in particular because I haven't watched her and only just read a bio, but she sounds great with many credentials.

5. I was thinking Val Demings, too!

I agree with evertonfc that Val has great bona fides.

Here's a link to her House of Representatives website bio:

6. She needs to be groomed now. I've been saying her name for a while. She needs to be introduced.

Send her to Detroit, Philly, and Milwaukee where we can win this thing for we turn out our base. She’s popular in Central Florida! She could deliver FL and possibly GA for Biden.

She needs to be put in charge of every high profile committee and commission possible between now and the convention to get her name out and boost her qualifications (which are already impeccable).

7. Florida always disappoints us.

We aren’t going to win there. We need to learn from the lessons of past elections.

8. 2 years in Congress after being a police chief?

Is this Presidential material now? REALLY? Why her and not Kamala Harris? Or Amy Klobuchar? Or Tammy Duckworth?

10. she has plenty of experience.

you don't Have to be a career politician to lead. The others are fine too. Relax, lol

11. I SHOULD relax, but I can't--

Already a little nervous about Joe and his age, throw a relatively inexperienced and less-vetted VP in the mix and we could really blow it.

9. I know I'll probably get some flak but,

She’s also cute as can be!
