Joe BidenCongratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
except warren is 70 years old right now SterlingPound Nov 2019 #1
Warren "reads" young. She could pass for 50 or 55...very energetic Dream Girl Nov 2019 #2
No. She looks like the older lady she is. Energetic and hyped-up as her delivery style is. emmaverybo Nov 2019 #17
She's younger than Biden by eight years, and looks it. n/t whathehell Nov 2019 #74
Not eight years. Well, he looks good to me. Not going to play the who is the youngest in the emmaverybo Nov 2019 #75
Closer than not -- He'll be 77 years old on the 20th of this month whathehell Nov 2019 #92
Omg. MrsCoffee Nov 2019 #93
They both look their ages is the point. She looks good and he looks good, as the older man emmaverybo Nov 2019 #105
Wow🙄 we can do it Nov 2019 #98
Biden is 78 right now.. whathehell Nov 2019 #72

They don't need personal chemistry; they're professionals. The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2019 #3
Agreed Progressive2020 Nov 2019 #63
the chemistry is not good. Biden should choose abrams. Don't know who warren should pick yet Kurt V. Nov 2019 #4
How About Susan Rice for Biden's pick. 42bambi Nov 2019 #26
She mirror's Biden's Strengths. OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2019 #30
that instantly re-opens the Benghazi RW CT can of worms though Celerity Nov 2019 #45
IMO the Republicans aren't going to have a can opener in their drawer after November 3, 2020 WheelWalker Nov 2019 #51
I have been saying it will be Abrams for ages, from right after she was cheated out of the GA gov Celerity Nov 2019 #61
I Like Susan Rice Progressive2020 Nov 2019 #64
I think Warren would cost Biden in GE. Warren is also for what she calls "Economic Patriotism." Hoyt Nov 2019 #5
I agree she'd probably hurt him in the GE, though she might help Democratic turnout in states we're highplainsdem Nov 2019 #13
Economic Patriotism Progressive2020 Nov 2019 #66
Disagree. Economic Patriotism is treating foreign workers as scabs, and it guarantees perpetual Hoyt Nov 2019 #100
Younger running mate of color would be better: Stacy Abrams? Kamala Harris? nt IphengeniaBlumgarten Nov 2019 #6
I'd like to see Kamala Harris at the DOJ. OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2019 #11
Or the mayor of Atlanta, whose name escapes me at the moment. highplainsdem Nov 2019 #14
Keisha Bottoms? No. CurtEastPoint Nov 2019 #16
Indeed. He really does not need an elder white woman who is incompatible with his plans and emmaverybo Nov 2019 #18
They have been adversaries for years, so I don't see it. That clip of Warren as expert appearing hlthe2b Nov 2019 #7
Warren started sniping at Biden in print years before that hearing. Mother Jones article on that: highplainsdem Nov 2019 #12
She could comes off as bitter towards him. He deserves a loyal partner in the same mold as he was as emmaverybo Nov 2019 #19
Biden has been reticent about talking VP possibilities peggysue2 Nov 2019 #108
Yes, he stressed the kind of partnership you describe and a compatibility with his vision. emmaverybo Nov 2019 #110

So, maybe she does 4 years and passes the baton to....? OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2019 #8
I'd put money on a Biden Abrams ticket. OnDoutside Nov 2019 #9
Now that's a smart ticket mahina Nov 2019 #36
It makes sense in so many ways, plus Stacy's avoidance of OnDoutside Nov 2019 #78
I don't think it is effective to put such divergent views on one ticket EveHammond13 Nov 2019 #10
Joe's value is understanding and conveying US interests. OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2019 #15
I would love that also. I'm all for this ticket if it will work. EveHammond13 Nov 2019 #48
Biden wanted Warren as VP for the 2016 campaign he wanted to blm Nov 2019 #20
I concur with your BlueMTexpat Nov 2019 #87
Warren and Biden know it's just politics, so they can reconcile after the primary emulatorloo Nov 2019 #106
Wow. I never saw those posts. blm Nov 2019 #111

That one I remember. blm Nov 2019 #114
You got half of it right... InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #21
Sorry, doesn't work for me. OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2019 #22
Biden should be Sec'y of State then he can focus on repairing int'l relations and the State Dept. Gidney N Cloyd Nov 2019 #23
I say this as a Warren supporter.... Boomer Nov 2019 #24
You do know that selecting a VP is a negotiation, right? OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2019 #40
That's a very big "if" frankly Boomer Nov 2019 #94

Our allies won't have a problem understanding him. OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2019 #33
It would have to be a Warren-Biden ticket. milestogo Nov 2019 #28
No one ever signs up to be VP again after two terms in the job. Hekate Nov 2019 #52
That wouldn't happen BlueMTexpat Nov 2019 #90
Then she should pick Mayor Pete. milestogo Nov 2019 #95
Let's us see whether she is BlueMTexpat Nov 2019 #96
I would prefer Biden and Yang... chillfactor Nov 2019 #29

I think she would be a fabulous VP and President in 8. mahina Nov 2019 #80
Amy Klobuchar is closer to Biden's temperament and style. No Vested Interest Nov 2019 #37
She does remind me of Joe in Temprement. Definitely a pragmatic, centrist Democrat. OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2019 #42
Down-to-earth style; hopefully, Midwestern swing states would follow. No Vested Interest Nov 2019 #55
I agree..Amy Klobuchar would be a much better pick. They are pretty much helpisontheway Nov 2019 #47

You make some good points, I think Hekate Nov 2019 #50
Would Joe accept the VP slot?? gibraltar72 Nov 2019 #54
No idea. OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2019 #60
