I will stand by mine.
By any standards, this election is far more different and crucial than any other we've had. That is why he needs to choose someone who can deliver a critical swing state.

Joe Biden's comments are always taken out of context by his enemies or his rivals.

One example: the segregationists crap-

Black lawmakers get Biden's back amid 'segregationist' uproar
Snip:
Progressives pounced on the remarks, and two other White House hopefuls criticized the 76-year-old Democratic presidential poll leader over his comments at a fundraiser Tuesday night. But more than a half-dozen CBC members argued that Biden’s remarks were taken out of context and that the former senator’s call for decency is needed now more than ever.
“I worked with Strom Thurmond all my life,” House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.), the highest-ranking African American in Congress, said of the infamous segregationist senator. “You don’t have to agree with people to work with them.”

I believe Joe Biden's remarks were purposely taken out of context to gain political points. That's an easy one. She definitely played the race card.

Barack Obama is not running in this election. So, where did the majority of the black support go? Joe Biden. Your opinion on this could be suggestive of someone who does not believe black voters can make an intelligent decision regarding who they believe will better serve them.

Like I said, there are several women who would be a great asset as Joe Biden's VP choice. I simply do not believe Kamala Harris is one of them.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
