    If you said kamala it’d be more believable for a number of reasons

    We used to all have the same basic agreement on what reality was. Started to change under Obama.

    I seriously hope Biden picks her as his VP. She has the appeal of a wet napkin. lol

    She has been off the shortlist, already. She was near the bottom in the Democratic Primaries because disapproval spread about her history as a prosecutor. She seems like a pleasant woman but that is all it took for her to lose any chance of being selected.

    He won't. I recently received a poll about who the VP candidate should be. I think it was from a Democratic organization (not the DNC though). I seriously doubt that many Democrats would chose her.

    Well, interesting, but only one democrat makes the final call....

    I think Amy would be the best balance for the ticket. Warren and Harris live in strong blue areas and Abrams cannot deliver Georgia....

    Other than Lizzy, she clearly has the most national experience, but also has Lizzy by 15 years...

    But I still don't personally know a single person who won't vote for Biden because of who he selects...

    Klobuchar was under fire long before the Floyd situation for several reasons. Blacks were protesting her candidacy during the presidential primaries.

    This only adds to the controversy.

    "The attention on Ms. Klobuchar’s tenure as Hennepin County attorney, which had posed problems for her during her presidential bid, comes at a time when she is one of several women under consideration by Mr. Biden’s campaign as a possible vice presidential candidate."

    Something that is proven she had nothing to do with cannot "add to the controversy" if we do not allow it to..

    Try again...

    Maybe somewhere in her past, she said when the looting starts, the shooting starts, or some such nonsense...

    Do you really like her or do you just think she's good for the ticket? I agree with Esperance on this one but I'd hate for you to be disappointed about her low support.

    I actually like her... I would have voted for her in the primary if she didn't drop out the day before...

    She has the one quality I seek from all office holders, and so few have... a legitimate sense of humor, which I feel separates the wheat from the chaff...

    She reminds me of Phoebe on Friends like that ... I also found her to be very endearing but if she was a prosecutor with a tie to this event that will turn alot of people off.

    At least we would get rid of her. The local story is she went to a jewelry store during the lockdown, while the rest of us were told to stay at home.

    Well we don't really need your suggestions but since Biden has announce he will discriminate against men candidates, and he's about back himself into a corner and will have to discriminate against a white person I think the best he could probably do with the leftovers would be Val Demings. The Arbery thing ain't hurting her chances. Amazing how he can engage in that sexual and racial discrimination and get away with it.

    Add, "with suspected religious tendencies," to really put the icing on the cake.

    Yeah, this probably eliminates Klobuchar, and that's bad news for Democrats. Klobuchar could have been the "lock" that delivered hyperliberal, Upper-Midwest 'fly-over' country (like Minne-EHHH-polis). After all, the libs already had both coastal regions, in addition to the 'Black vote'....

    Now, if Klobuchar is chucked out, ol' Joe will probably go dredge up a 'vagina-of-color' -- and, as a result -- merely get more of what he already 'owned' to begin with. :roflol:

    As a right-wing Conservative, I hope he does pick something like Kamala-la-la Harris (or worse). It would look oh-so politically correct to the libs, but probably won't draw any more White votes than he's already got....

    Of course there is no bias on social media. Unless, of course, we disagree with your assessment. - [​IMG]

    Sadly the mods on this forum refuse to let people speak for themself. I said I’d riot too, poster replied “me too”
    Yet the mods deny this is agreeing with the rioting? If I was president I’d make an EO about this forum!

    I won't vote for Biden, no matter who he picks for his Vice President.
