In reply to the discussion: Some people here say that Biden's VP choice has always been Harris. [View all]CTyankee
(63,899 posts)folks get reminising (if even subconsciously) about how very good that feeling was when he was POTUS. We're not gonna get the Obama haters anyway.
One thing I don't like about Harris: she brings "That little girl was me" from the debate and Biden's deflated look after she said it. I felt like I wanted to give him a big hug and to tell her to back off, please.
And here's a difficulty: if the candidate has no baggage, well, she "doesn't have enough experience." And, "how do we know what she really believes." So that is imperfect as well because then the sky is the limit to what absurd scenarios they want to dream up.
I get the feeling that wanting a VP candidate to "bring a swing state" isn't what it used to be. This election is different in the stark differences we have in choices to lead us. I think experience counts here: we have some almost heart stopping thoughts about what will be handed to us to deal with, if Biden wins (please god) and has to clean up considerable damage to even our CAPACITY to get into gear and going.
I am so anxious about all of this that I almost wish we had the scenario where we get Nancy Pelosi as President of the United States. This woman is made of steel. With her I think we could lead the world again.
