There are many progressives and African Americans who have issues with her record. That might be unfair but it is the reality of the situation. The goal is to win the election so things like this need to be considered.

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
