Highlight:

Biden wants a VP "not at all intimidated by the president, not intimidated walkin' in the WH" [View all] bigtree Jun 2020 OP

Sounds like Susan Rice. shockey80 Jun 2020 #1

I hope so. If we can't have Elizabeth Warren, Susan Rice would be awesome. So would Michelle Obama. BComplex Jun 2020 #2

No to Susan Rice...because of Benghazi...it would be foolish. A VP cnan't make you win but he/she Demsrule86 Jun 2020 #17

We need someone with a lot of charisma. Val Demmings doesn't have enough. BComplex Jun 2020 #19

You think Kamala Harris doesn't have a lot of charisma? StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #66

She turns a lot of people off. Sorry. BComplex Jun 2020 #94

Warren also "turns a lot of people off." StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #101

What did she do as Atty General that wasn't good? mcar Jun 2020 #104

Warren was way ahead of her in the primaries. BComplex Jun 2020 #114

Warren lost her own state mcar Jun 2020 #117

Kamala didn't even make it to her home state's primary. BComplex Jun 2020 #119

Then we don't know how she would have done, do we? mcar Jun 2020 #121

Um. Not making it tells you how far she can go. BComplex Jun 2020 #126

Biden completely flopped in the 2008 primaries StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #131

Oh yeah mcar Jun 2020 #133

You know what also turns a lot of people off? BannonsLiver Jun 2020 #127

Kamala Harris has boatloads of charisma mcar Jun 2020 #102

Remember when the knock against her was that she was supposedly just getting by on charisma? StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #105

I think you might be on to something mcar Jun 2020 #109

What might it have to do with? BComplex Jun 2020 #116

Yeah Let's do Benghazi again Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #29

Easy answer: KAMALA onetexan Jun 2020 #3

She's one. But there are others, too. marble falls Jun 2020 #6

I don't think there's a shrinking violet in the entire selection pool! Siwsan Jun 2020 #4

I agree. They are all women who are perfectly willing to call out BS... nt Blasphemer Jun 2020 #9

That's called name recognition Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #30

Another reason Mike Pence won't be on the list. marble falls Jun 2020 #5

:) Sounds like he's sending clues. Senators, governors, Hortensis Jun 2020 #7

Random pic. Tommy_Carcetti Jun 2020 #8

Is this before or after Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #31

1) She didn't accuse him of being a racist; 2) he got over their debate tussle. You should, too StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #67

She still attacked him Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #73

Lol. Let's make sure he picks someone whom the GOP won't criticize in an ad StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #79

No let's pick someone who the GOP can't Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #80

You think we should fold up our tent and go home? jmowreader Jun 2020 #85

No and don't put words in my mouth Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #87

Warren said on camera, that Biden may be "running in the wrong presidential primary." PunkinPi Jun 2020 #106

Which is why most nominees don't pick a former primary opponent Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #108

I was responding to this false statement you made. PunkinPi Jun 2020 #115

I don't consider Warren a viable candidate for VP Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #118

There's clearly an effort afoot to undermine Harris StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #122

Maybe that is the goal of some Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #123

Thank you! It's like the minute you don't support someone else's candidate 100% BComplex Jun 2020 #130

You're welcome Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #132

You're correct... PunkinPi Jun 2020 #129

Unleash the Kamala! fleur-de-lisa Jun 2020 #10

May be. :) I was surprised that she was weak on policy while running, Hortensis Jun 2020 #14

she was policy-heavy during her campaign bigtree Jun 2020 #20

We have many fine people for AG, but I strongly believe Hortensis Jun 2020 #22

the person you're describing bigtree Jun 2020 #23

Well Kamala was decisive in suspending her campaign in Dec 2019, so there's that .... OnDoutside Jun 2020 #26

no one is going to get their pet plan approved. Any health care advance will be a compromise bigtree Jun 2020 #34

Lifelong progressive liberal?? Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #33

THIS is a progressive prosecutor. bigtree Jun 2020 #36

a lot of the things we expect in a 'progressive' actually encompass Kamala Harris' career bigtree Jun 2020 #37

Typing something in all caps doesn't make it true Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #42

you actually cite that article by Bazelon that I mentioned in my post to make that judgment bigtree Jun 2020 #45

Which is probably why she's come under such attacks from Hortensis Jun 2020 #49

a lot of folks ignore that these issues weren't at the forefront of many political efforts bigtree Jun 2020 #52

:) Say THAT again! Very impressive. Hortensis Jun 2020 #54

That must be why she got such overwhelming support Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #51

we know Joe Biden, the second half of the first black president's administration bigtree Jun 2020 #53

Right. The campaign to deny that Senator Harris is a strong, liberal Hortensis Jun 2020 #55

And yet Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #56

this is the only article she linked or cited to support her claim bigtree Jun 2020 #57

Remember the goal is to win the election Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #61

when talking about African American support for the ticket bigtree Jun 2020 #71

Sounds about right Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #75

Had you seen this piece, where some of her most vocal critics have now changed their tune... PunkinPi Jun 2020 #64

interesting bigtree Jun 2020 #68

Apparently not, lol. nt PunkinPi Jun 2020 #69

PROSECUTORS carry out the laws that are passed by legislatures Hortensis Jun 2020 #46

Prosecutors also have discretion Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #62

Yes, they do. Understanding how she used hers over hundreds of Hortensis Jun 2020 #70

No it's understanding how Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #74

:) So, responsibility lies in adding imagining how other people Hortensis Jun 2020 #76

Yes Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #81

She's the 2nd most progressive senator PunkinPi Jun 2020 #60

Ok that's the last 4 years Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #63

I see bigtree provided you some links with that info, so I won't be redundant. nt PunkinPi Jun 2020 #65

And yet Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #72

African Americans overwhelmingly support Kamala Harris for VP bigtree Jun 2020 #77

Yes top of the list Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #82

but you represented her as some sort of pariah to black voters bigtree Jun 2020 #88

No I didn't Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #89

pariah bigtree Jun 2020 #95

Cite one post where I used the word pariah Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #96

my word, describing what you wrote bigtree Jun 2020 #97

Then you interpreted it wrong. Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #99

Sounds like someone just doesn't like Kamala StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #103

Not pulling anything out of thin air Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #112

Why do you assume I was referring to you? StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #120

So you weren't? Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #125

Yes, the goal is to win the election. PunkinPi Jun 2020 #78

Again she's at the top of list Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #83

Anyone and everyone in politics has some kind of baggage, lol. PunkinPi Jun 2020 #90

Maybe/maybe not Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #92

Harris, Klobuchar, and Warren were vetted in the primary. PunkinPi Jun 2020 #98

Were they? Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #100

LOL. "She's at the top of list View profile but not by a wide margin." StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #107

Yes Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #110

Wow. StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #111

So you can't dispute what I wrote Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #113

Someone with executive experience already, elleng Jun 2020 #11

Warren, Harris, Abrams, Rice... None are intimidated with Trump. Women seem the LEAST intimidated LizBeth Jun 2020 #12

BIDEN/HARRIS 2020! MrsCoffee Jun 2020 #13

I agree with Harris edhopper Jun 2020 #15

Experience doesn't matter in presidential elections Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #32

Yes it does edhopper Jun 2020 #40

If it did Trump wouldn't be President Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #41

Trump is sui generis edhopper Jun 2020 #44

W had less experience than Gore Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #50

You are missing the point edhopper Jun 2020 #84

No you are Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #86

Tell that to President Obama and Biden... PunkinPi Jun 2020 #91

That's what all nominees say Trumpocalypse Jun 2020 #93

Biden/Harris 2020! PunkinPi Jun 2020 #16

better together bigtree Jun 2020 #21

Absolutely. :) nt PunkinPi Jun 2020 #28

Yes! Yes! Yes! RedSpartan Jun 2020 #128

Biden/Harris bluecollar2 Jun 2020 #18

Works for me. Brother Buzz Jun 2020 #24

That does sound like Harris. I remember Obama gave some description of the VP he wanted JI7 Jun 2020 #25

sounds like any of the women Skittles Jun 2020 #27

That doesn't reduce any of the "lists" I have seen. ALL are strong, capable people. retread Jun 2020 #35

Was that picture before or after she insinuated he was a racist? helpisontheway Jun 2020 #38

she wasn't alone in her concern about Joe Biden's past on issues endemic to the black community bigtree Jun 2020 #39

I'm right there with you future president Biden nt Sunsky Jun 2020 #43

Sounds like Val Demmings Aviation91 Jun 2020 #47

I thought of Rep. Demmings bigtree Jun 2020 #48

Yes, and Val Demmings would help the ticket by delivering a decisive victory in Florida Brother Buzz Jun 2020 #59

Hmm, who does that sound like? mcar Jun 2020 #58

Kamala Harris would be awesome. n/t Jamastiene Jun 2020 #124

I have my preferences, not getting into this again, but I would remind those who just KNOW DFW Jun 2020 #134
