Would rather see Harris pick Biden for SOS aeromanKC Jun 2019 #57
I don't think he would be the SoS, unless the position is different than foreither HRC or Kerry karynnj Jun 2019 #69
Harris won't win the states we need. Thus, sadly Trump will be picking people for another four years Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #97
In the meantime you'll continue to spread gldstwmn Jun 2019 #141

All the candidates are running for President of the USA tulipsandroses Jun 2019 #2
well IF the top of the ticket is male (deffo NOT a sure thing) then I so hope a female is picked as Celerity Jun 2019 #45
Yes. Can we stop putting men in the top seats gldstwmn Jun 2019 #72
If Pete falters, my next 2 choices by far, in order, are Harris and Warren Celerity Jun 2019 #83
He is absolutely qualified. I loved the way he took ownership gldstwmn Jun 2019 #89
Not when they are winning no we can't. And there are polls showing women will face a 20 to 30 % Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #102
Road to 270 has Harris and Warren beating Trump in the general. gldstwmn Jun 2019 #107

Which polls are those show 20-30 % lower vote for women than man? delisen Jun 2019 #151
that's absurd treestar Jun 2019 #76
What is absurd - is the assumption that a male will be the nominee/winner- tulipsandroses Jun 2019 #84
The OP is just making a hypothetical and in that hypothetical treestar Jun 2019 #86
Biden is way ahead in the polls, and the OP can frame anyway he/she choses. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #98
The OP Clearly said "IF" Biden were the nominee. Cha Jun 2019 #128

It's just you. Biden supporters apparently like Harris, that's a good thing. emulatorloo Jun 2019 #67
I agree with you. Harris doesn't want to be VP gldstwmn Jun 2019 #70
huh? treestar Jun 2019 #77
Biden was running against Obama in the 2004 primaries. gldstwmn Jun 2019 #80
Nothing to do with any of that...she stabbed Biden in the back using tactics that some view as Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #99
I think Joe knows better mainstreetonce Jun 2019 #4
We haven't elected a VP to the presidency in almost gldstwmn Jun 2019 #79
We did in 2000. treestar Jun 2019 #87
Yes. Hence the changes in our political system. gldstwmn Jun 2019 #90

They despise Trump first and foremost. 33taw Jun 2019 #7
I don't think Biden would be that petty. ooky Jun 2019 #8
It is not about being petty...she stabbed him in the back and you have to trust your VP...Also Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #101
I'm not sure they have ever had the kind ooky Jun 2019 #118
I agree. She brings nothing to the ticket and would drag him down...klobachar would be better or Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #122

Veep selections have little to do with qualifications or relationships... TreasonousBastard Jun 2019 #14
Modern VPs get actual jobs to do. Gore, Cheney and Biden were all pretty busy. marylandblue Jun 2019 #25
This is true, but just adds more complication to the selection process. TreasonousBastard Jun 2019 #34
Yes that's true, but it makes a Harris pick less likely. marylandblue Jun 2019 #35
Yup. That's the way they think when picking a Veep. And since I don't have the data... TreasonousBastard Jun 2019 #37
That is exactly correct customerserviceguy Jun 2019 #134
I would not be happy with Harris on the ticket. She is no Biden, who never undermined Obama. She Skya Rhen Jun 2019 #15
Sorry, but Biden bought this on himself with an unforced error. brush Jun 2019 #47

I have a feeling he's going to. He said so many gldstwmn Jun 2019 #94
Yes. But she could still be in the White House--as a great Attorney General. nt yerop Jun 2019 #17
You should be asking if Biden ruined his chances of becoming Harris's VP if she gets the nomination mtnsnake Jun 2019 #18

Of course they'd consider her. Biden himself wld show her presidential skills to be his successor. ancianita Jun 2019 #23
Nah, 18 months is a long time donkeypoofed Jun 2019 #26
Maybe. But I'm pretty sure Biden doesn't want to be VP again. nt Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #27
I believe he is not eligible to be VP again per constitution AlexSFCA Jun 2019 #32
I don't see that restriction in Wikipedia. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #115
Obama could not be Biden's VP customerserviceguy Jun 2019 #136
Wiki says not. The constitutional restriction is limited to the office of the President. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #149
I think her chances are actually better now StarfishSaver Jun 2019 #29
Why would any primary winner necessarily choose any of the opposing candidates forVP LakeArenal Jun 2019 #31
Kerry/Edwards? gldstwmn Jun 2019 #73
Not the idea of it, the constant supposition that it would be a primary contender selected for VP. LakeArenal Jun 2019 #82

Harris shouldn't settle for less than the top seat. Irishxs Jun 2019 #39
I agree...we need her in the Senate. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #103
She's not running for VP...nt SidDithers Jun 2019 #40
Zero chance of her being VP after that stunt (which included printed shirts)nt helpisontheway Jun 2019 #42
She won't be riding in the back of Joe's bus, won't happen n/t Baclava Jun 2019 #43
No. Not really. The VP choice will be made on strategic grounds. MineralMan Jun 2019 #46
Oh my goodness! Would Biden accept VP again is the better question. floppyboo Jun 2019 #48
Biden should learn from Hillary's mistakes and choose from a group he is not appealing to floppyboo Jun 2019 #49

No.... if she is seen as the VP who could most help him win, she will be picked karynnj Jun 2019 #65
Agreed, and Biden knows the game, attacks are "just politics" emulatorloo Jun 2019 #71
