alternatives, is not likely to inspire as much enthusiasm as others. 2018 was instructive.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

No, let's go from this moment forward. India and Pakistan could break out nukes, which spells emmaverybo Sep 2019 #8

Even if Biden is elected, if the Senate is controlled by Republicans, little will be accomplished. olegramps Sep 2019 #67

Absolutely, both national and international policies will not be resolved without control. olegramps Sep 2019 #80

I want a VP candidate who is younger and more progressive than any of the front runners Arkansas Granny Sep 2019 #14

Yeah. Why bother with elections? A few polls... NNadir Sep 2019 #45

My dream ticket -- Biden-Beto 2020 nt BlueMississippi Sep 2019 #5

risk-adverse Biden will never pick Beto, so a dream of yours it will remain nt Celerity Sep 2019 #7

I really liked Beto when he announced but he has not run a good campaign. redstateblues Sep 2019 #11

An all white-male ticket, when there are well qualified spooky3 Sep 2019 #9

I thought we Democrats were gender and color blind. nt BlueMississippi Sep 2019 #10

Who claimed that? It is disingenuous to maintain, after spooky3 Sep 2019 #12

So, please tell me BlueMississippi Sep 2019 #17

Yeah PatSeg Sep 2019 #13

There are several highly accomplished WOC senators. Biden does not have to pick from the emmaverybo Sep 2019 #15

I would like Beto too. However the are demanding a WOC.. nt Kahuna7 Sep 2019 #36

I know -- but a firebrand WOC would galvanize Trumpanzees BlueMississippi Sep 2019 #37

This is true. Atlanta mayor Bottoms is dignified and mild mannered... Kahuna7 Sep 2019 #38

I really like the Mayor and she and Biden seem comfortable around each other. As for experience, she Skya Rhen Sep 2019 #46

I agree 100%. Also has as much experience as Abrams. nt Kahuna7 Sep 2019 #47

True - I just feel good about her... Skya Rhen Sep 2019 #48

Bottoms came out early in support of Biden. I think since Kahuna7 Sep 2019 #49

My fingers are crossed... Skya Rhen Sep 2019 #50

Abrams is similar to Obama in experience. Obama was in the US Senate but Abrams would be VP JI7 Sep 2019 #58

that ship has sailed bootcamp Sep 2019 #40

Any ticket with Beto on it is going to alarm them jmowreader Sep 2019 #66

Biden / Harris world wide wally Sep 2019 #18

Or Biden-Klobuchar...nt comradebillyboy Sep 2019 #25

I like that one Freddie Sep 2019 #53

Yeah I'd love to see Klobuchar as the nominee but it's very unlikely so comradebillyboy Sep 2019 #57

Not Harris for VP. Lucid Dreamer Sep 2019 #27

You're right. She'd be an excellent choice for AG. maddiemom Sep 2019 #32

It's what most Americans are thinking right along with you -- that we have to get to "solid" first. ancianita Sep 2019 #19

I agree with this. Vdizzle Sep 2019 #20

I should reiterate. Vdizzle Sep 2019 #24

And if Biden claims he'll install "the best people", it won't be bullshit. I don't think we'll have Tarheel_Dem Sep 2019 #21

Thought he and Beto had best shot at Texas. But based Laura PourMeADrink Sep 2019 #22

OK, if he has an EXCELLENT VP. CCExile Sep 2019 #23

Biden/Harris has always been my #1 Power Ticket aeromanKC Sep 2019 #26

I don't know. What do you mean by rebuilding our government?i KPN Sep 2019 #31

Biden is old and can't speak well any,ore. Warren has it all. flying_wahini Sep 2019 #33

Warren has issues as well bootcamp Sep 2019 #39

Well said, bootcamp! And, VP Biden is Cha Sep 2019 #65

If Biden is too old, then so is Warren, frankly LongtimeAZDem Sep 2019 #60
