The mess that President Biden will inherit... [View all]

...has me rethinking the VP choice. Not that it's up to me, yet. I'm expecting a call from Joe any day now asking for my advice.

Because of the unique situation that he'll be in, do you think it would be more or less important to consider a VP choice with a specific background? Financial, health, legal, etc? I know any choice will be a shock to the collective psyche of the US after enduring that ventriloquist's dummy that's been sitting on Trump's lap. I'm trying to put aside my own personal choice and consider the importance of the actual qualifications. I started thinking it might be better to have someone with a certain type of experience/knowledge, but I couldn't figure out who or what that might be.

NOTE: Anyone commenting on my choice to refer to our nominee as "President" as 'counting the chickens' can keep it to themselves. I'm sick and tired of negativity. I'm going to live in my own dreamworld where we're already picking out the drapes. Don't harsh my buzz.
