If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Undecided
If both perform up to expectations i agree with you. Hard to beat combo. dem4decades Apr 2019 #1
It doesn't have to be someone running for president. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #31
Harris is already underperforming Renew Deal Apr 2019 #2
Hate to admit it, but you're right. LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #3
Every female candidate is. dawg Apr 2019 #6
Neither Renew Deal Apr 2019 #11

Yep. nt SunSeeker Apr 2019 #64
And the press. With so many, no one gets to be Hortensis Apr 2019 #86
Us, but voting depends on us. zaj Apr 2019 #54
It says something about the MSM's deplorable habit of devaluing mcar Apr 2019 #76
+1. They get little or no press coverage, meanwhile the media boys fawn all over the white men..... apcalc Apr 2019 #101
It says I'm not going to vote for someone based on gender. I would love helpisontheway Apr 2019 #100
The choice of a potential VP from the list of those currently running in the Democratic primary, still_one Apr 2019 #28
But justie18 Apr 2019 #50
Until today (or last night)... wysimdnwyg Apr 2019 #69
I agree. cilla4progress Apr 2019 #4
Mine too. calimary Apr 2019 #24
Yes, I totally believe this is the winning ticket. redstatebluegirl Apr 2019 #5
What I've been saying DownriverDem Apr 2019 #7
Not if 20% of Sanders supporters won't vote for either one. leftofcool Apr 2019 #8
We don't need that 20% as this ticket puts AZ, FL, GA and NC in play. LonePirate Apr 2019 #9
We absolutely do need those young people leftofcool Apr 2019 #12
The 20% of Sanders voters who would defect are mostly older, conservative white men. LonePirate Apr 2019 #20
Don't worry about them Renew Deal Apr 2019 #17
Sanders wasn't the only candidate who had a significant percentage ... dawg Apr 2019 #26
May I just say that if Sanders supporters don't vote for the Democratic nominee than, Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #34
To be fair angrychair Apr 2019 #68
Why would they not vote for the Dem nominee?? honest.abe Apr 2019 #104
largest growth in turn out # 2018 went to millenials floppyboo Apr 2019 #10
Vote for the nominee or watch progressive policy crumble. M the midterms prove an Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #41
I can dig that ticket. EOM TruckFump Apr 2019 #13
If Ms. Harris is not the Democratic nominee, she would make an amazing Attorney General. Tikki Apr 2019 #15
Before I moved from California, PatSeg Apr 2019 #21
I was just saying this to my son awhile ago PatSeg Apr 2019 #16
I would vote for the ticket in spite of Harris. Not because of. What about Stacey Abrams? Honeycombe8 Apr 2019 #18
Abrams would be great, but she lacks experience at the national level. dawg Apr 2019 #25
So does Harris. So do Buttegieg, Warren, Beto, Klobuchar... Honeycombe8 Apr 2019 #27
Harris is a sitting U.S. Senator, as are Warren & Klobuchar. dawg Apr 2019 #33
No, those are federal offices ...for states. Not national campaign experience. Honeycombe8 Apr 2019 #39
We're talking about two different things. The House and Senate are very much part ... dawg Apr 2019 #46
I don't think it'll be Harris. She's from CA. He'll need a southerner or midwesterner... Honeycombe8 Apr 2019 #48
Exactly. We need a Dem Senate and Abrams is a formidable foe in a GA Senate race. LonePirate Apr 2019 #30
Biden/Harris is geographically more balanced than Biden/Abrams. calimary Apr 2019 #29
Putting CA on the ticket isn't that helpful. But putting a southern state in the mix.... Honeycombe8 Apr 2019 #35
Good point. Someone who'd be a good successor. I like the way you think here. ancianita Apr 2019 #80
I love her. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #42
If Biden wins, I'd look for a southerner or midwesterner to be on the ticket. Honeycombe8 Apr 2019 #47
I still tend to like a Biden/Warren ticket Doreen Apr 2019 #19
It would be hard to choose PatSeg Apr 2019 #23
They are more left than Biden and I think we would Doreen Apr 2019 #37
They're almost all more left than Biden. It doesn't matter what the VP ideology is, tho. Honeycombe8 Apr 2019 #49
Biden will not select a white male as his running mate, not for this party. LonePirate Apr 2019 #61
I agree PatSeg Apr 2019 #62
Yes Doreen Apr 2019 #63
No we lose the Senate seat. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #43
Look for a southerner to be the VP. Or midwest. Honeycombe8 Apr 2019 #44
Can you imagine the debates against Trump and Pence? highplainsdem Apr 2019 #22
THAT'S what I'd pay good money to see. A debate with Biden against trump. calimary Apr 2019 #36
Drumpf will call debates, fake, rigged rzemanfl Apr 2019 #45
He'll just claim "I won! The people LOVE Donald!" No matter how badly it went for him. nt Honeycombe8 Apr 2019 #51
Yeah picture trump trying to hover behind joe like he did with hillary. drray23 Apr 2019 #107
Good point, that many of the Dem candidates will become key Cabinet members if we win. Hoyt Apr 2019 #32
Like to think so, but there are lot of Seniors whose parents have not taught them well where I live. Hoyt Apr 2019 #38
Not in Louisiana. Honeycombe8 Apr 2019 #52
IMO it's the best ticket for East-West, black-white, male-female, young-old unifying of the country. ancianita Apr 2019 #40
how about Mayor Pete for AG EveHammond13 Apr 2019 #75
Maybe Secretary of State, with all his language and international knowledge. Just sayin'. ancianita Apr 2019 #77
I think this is the ticket too. Glimmer of Hope Apr 2019 #53
That's safe establishment beltway thinking TheFarseer Apr 2019 #55
Joe is from the rust belt. I'm a progressive and would bust my butt to get them elected. nt SunSeeker Apr 2019 #65
Biden and any of the female contenders. n/t ginnyinWI Apr 2019 #56
Lets run to the center. that always works out for us. quakerboy Apr 2019 #57
I'm supercharged. C_U_L8R Apr 2019 #58
Have changed from Biden/Harris to Biden/Warren flamingdem Apr 2019 #59
I like them both as it is a coin flip for me. Still, Warren has been very, very impressive lately. LonePirate Apr 2019 #66
Is she articulate enough? Clean enough for him? robbedvoter Apr 2019 #60
I would think you would be pushing for her to be on Skya Rhen Apr 2019 #67
barf EveHammond13 Apr 2019 #73
What states will Harris help us win other than California which we would win regardless of the Veep. jalan48 Apr 2019 #70
every state where PoC or people who care about PoC vote EveHammond13 Apr 2019 #72
So, there has to be a POC on the ticket in order for POC to vote? jalan48 Apr 2019 #79
I'm thinking it's pretty clear the electorate is demanding it EveHammond13 Apr 2019 #90
Interesting. jalan48 Apr 2019 #92
makes Florida, Georgia, Ms competative between Harris and Biden beachbum bob Apr 2019 #81
Thanks, I didn't realize Georgia and Texas were that close to going blue. jalan48 Apr 2019 #83
a few percentage change in white working class votes from gop to democrat is all it takes beachbum bob Apr 2019 #84
Texas and Missouri are not close to going blue Celerity Apr 2019 #91
So Harris wouldn't help us in those states? jalan48 Apr 2019 #94
Harris lost Texas the moment she suggested using Executive Orders for gun control LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #95
So how does Harris help us? jalan48 Apr 2019 #96
I don't necessarily agree that she does anymore LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #97
I was under the impression she is going to do best in Southern States in the Primary, however, those jalan48 Apr 2019 #98
Georgia yes, definitely, as would Abrams (obviously) Celerity Apr 2019 #105
It looks like we lost by a mile in Missouri last time. Hard to believe we could turn it around so jalan48 Apr 2019 #106
OMG YES - Schumer is FECKLESS. Kick him out. Warren for Majority Leader. EveHammond13 Apr 2019 #71
Amen amen! Couldn't agree more! ancianita Apr 2019 #78
Perhaps a Harris/Biden ticket would work even better. Biden prob best US VPres ever. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2019 #74
No. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #93
Way too soon for such speculation. Raven123 Apr 2019 #82
Yes it would proud patriot Apr 2019 #85
I think Biden Warren samplegirl Apr 2019 #87
I'm for Warren ... policies not platitudes NotHardly Apr 2019 #88
Harris is fine, but the nearly 80-year-old man doesn't excite me at all. BlueStater Apr 2019 #89
Yeah he's just old and in the way huh? He'd run circles around you so PLEASE. When the time UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #108
His age isn't the reason I have no enthusiasm for him. BlueStater Apr 2019 #109
... Duppers Apr 2019 #99
I like this ticket Gothmog Apr 2019 #102
