61. Is she even qualified to be president?

May 2020

She has not held any offices on the national level. I think that having a woman of color on the ticket is a good idea but I would prefer Senator Harris.

Its going to be Stacy Abrams [View all] demtenjeep May 2020 OP
If it is , we lose. n/t jaysunb May 2020 #1
why would we lose with Abrams as vp nominee ? she would be governorof JI7 May 2020 #3

Why? The Velveteen Ocelot May 2020 #5
There won't be a black person on the ticket. jaysunb May 2020 #9
Why do you say that? The running mate will almost certainly The Velveteen Ocelot May 2020 #12
I seriously doubt there will a minority on the ticket. jaysunb May 2020 #17
We've already had one black president. Why can't we have another one? The Velveteen Ocelot May 2020 #18
See post 27 Polybius May 2020 #28
Why will the running mate almost certainly be black or Latina? DTomlinson May 2020 #62
Because he's been dropping some pretty strong hints to that effect. The Velveteen Ocelot May 2020 #65
Harris like Abrams won't help flip any swing states Dem4Life1102 May 2020 #89
she already said publically she would accept the VP nomination nt msongs May 2020 #23
so did everyone else that was asked that question milestogo May 2020 #86
We had a Black president. Demsrule86 May 2020 #37
??? She has been openly campaigning to be on the ticket. She's great, but I think it's tblue37 May 2020 #49
We win - she will bring in the black vote big time womanofthehills May 2020 #32

Nope! nt USALiberal May 2020 #6
I don't think so either. cwydro May 2020 #10
Nope, not this time anyway. TheCowsCameHome May 2020 #7
I agree. ... Blue_playwright May 2020 #45
Absolutely agree - TheCowsCameHome May 2020 #81
That would be a mistake redstateblues May 2020 #8
Why? The Velveteen Ocelot May 2020 #14
For me, it's lack of experience... Blue_playwright May 2020 #46
Fair enough. I'd prefer someone with more experience, too. The Velveteen Ocelot May 2020 #47

I don't think it'll be Abrams. Drunken Irishman May 2020 #13

Does your gut have a good track record? Dem4Life1102 May 2020 #102
You've got a point. My gut told me Hillary would win in a landslide. bamagal62 May 2020 #106

Not Warren...she has a GOP governor and brings no states to the ticket...Amy Klobachar would be Demsrule86 May 2020 #38

What if Baker decides to run? Green Line May 2020 #59
not a chance, not in this environment, especially if Kennedy is the opponent Celerity May 2020 #66
Do you live in MA? Green Line May 2020 #67

It's too dangerous to take the chance Green Line May 2020 #69
That is not our call. I already stated I am not advocating Biden pick Warren, or even Celerity May 2020 #70
I don't disagree and would be happy with anyone Biden picks. Demsrule86 May 2020 #83
Can't take the chance. The Senate will be close...and in the early crucial months, we are down one.. Demsrule86 May 2020 #82
Playing devils advocate, my previous posts dealt with the chances of us losing Celerity May 2020 #93
I like Tammy Duckworth a great deal also. Demsrule86 May 2020 #96
Both come from solid blue states Dem4Life1102 May 2020 #90
How about, it was MSNBC's idea. elleng May 2020 #21
It was Biden who asked for her to join him n/t Pompoy May 2020 #99
Supported Abrams for Governor and stayed up all night pulling for her, would Hoyt May 2020 #24
I think Harris is most likely, but I like Rice, too. I was for Warren in the primary, but she's tblue37 May 2020 #52

It's going to be Warren or Harris. kcr May 2020 #50

Close Georgia poll helps her chances Cicada May 2020 #73
Here's the question for Joe...Is Georgia worth going after (15 EV's)? Wanderlust988 May 2020 #75
MI and WI combined are 26 EV's, so trading GA for those 2 is a net 11 points less Celerity May 2020 #98
