Who Should Joe Biden Choose As His Running Mate?

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden will soon announce his pick for vice president ahead of the election in November - and he's already pledged it will be a woman.

If the VP is black, I won't vote, but will wish Joe well. I am not for identity politics in any way shape or form and announcing that the VP would be a woman was already a big no go for me. I want the BEST possible person for the job. If picking a woman works for him politically, he might be well served pandering to identity politics, but I don't want any part of it.

After almost 4 years of the worst president this nation has had we’re not going to be swayed by your arguments of “this candidate isn’t perfect so therefore I can’t vote for him or her“.

The objective is removing Trump from office. It doesn’t matter if his replacement is “perfect” or not. Every single Democratic candidate that even attempted to run this year is far better than that orange shit stain that sitting in the White House.

LANCE BASS' BOTTOM FOR VP

by Anonymousreply 34August 4, 2020 1:18 PM

The media are certain that it's Harris. I don't get it: she's so divisive, and she runs to race and gender by instinct to promote herself (like last week). Last week showed what she'll do as VP when she feels threatened by someone within her own party: by leveraging her contacts in the media she'll create a scandal whereby she's the supposed victim, giving her (and her supposedly "spontaneously and independently organized prominent supporters") an opportunity to run to the press and do another "I was that girl"., and the media will amplify it to unjustly indict her supposed enemies as sexist and racist. It's horrible.

You can see her doing the same with the a President Biden: if she isn't given prime assignments, say advancing a key piece of legislation (with all the media appearance and positioning opportunities that entails), she'll spread a story that she's being sidelined, because "white men" in the administration feel "uncomfortable with trusting her" with the important assignment. Her K Hive will go crazy on Twitter, and the media will provide more spin and amplification. She's going to use them to become the most powerful figure in the administration to get the most coverage.

Surely Biden and his senior advisors and partners (Dodd, Clyburn, Jill, etc.) see that, and see that she was trying to corner him into dropping Bass as an option and selecting her. Surely he sees that. Dodd sees that, given that he never said "she's too ambitious". Rather that was a quote from an unnamed donor who didn't even speak to Dodd, and surely Biden and Dodd saw how the media spun the phrase to stick to Dodd, a member of the selection committee, thereby forcing the selection committee conference call (i.e.. lobbying/threatening opportunity) with "spontaneous and independently organized group of key supporters" (so described, with care, in Politico - lol, I see that it's since been edited to leave that carefully placed detail; trying to find a cached version of the article with the phrase).

I can't see how they don't realize that this disqualifies her: Biden is trying to find someone loyal whom he can totally trust. She's gunning so hard to be president, that he can't trust her not to try to essentially take over the administration, thereby getting coverage in the media of her "actually being in charge, and very presidential".

R37, yeah, looks like that's the final group, with Bass.

I can see the media say, over and over for about two weeks and then intermittently after that, if he selects Warren or Duckworth: "He had the opportunity to choose one of THREE very, very qualified Black woman, 60% of the final group. And instead he chose a white woman/Asian woman? Racist!!!! Outrageous! Completely ignores ***this important moment in history'**!"

As if racism in the committee prompted them not to select a Black woman. The committee of 4 includes a black woman (Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester). They're bending over backwards to select a qualified Black woman, even adding Bass almost last-minute to the final group of prospects, because they knew that Harris and Rice have serious baggage (Bass, it turns out, has plenty of baggage, too).

What I don't get, however, is why Demings is supposedly no longer in that final group. I'd be up for her before Warren.

Naturally, some people will gripe about whomever Biden chooses, but there's really no one on his list who's a dealbreaker for any sane person, under our current circumstances. Everyone he's vetted is smart and competent and could step in if needed; there's no Dan Quayle or Sarah Palin or even a fine-but-dreary Tim Kaine in the bunch. Ultimately, very few people are going to be all, "I was deeply committed to ending our long national nightmare and voting Trump out, but that Kamala Harris just has such a punchable face or Elizabeth Warren reminds me too much of a schoolmarm, blah, blah."

I don't hold ambition against Harris, but I don't like her dishonesty or her record in California. The murder of Manuel Diaz murder was just as bad as George Floyd's murder but she refused to investigate the incident. She grandstanded about body cameras on police officers, but refused to implement statewide requirements for them. In another incident of police brutality, she chose to prosecute the victim. She refused to investigate Catholic priests accused of pedophilia. She initially said she supported M4A, then said she misheard the question.

For Duckworth, I wonder if the Senate, her colleagues, would pass a resolution re her being “natural born” like they did for McCain. I think they would, even McConnell, given the traditional comity among senators. They passed a rule change allowing her to bring her baby to the chamber.

[quote] In April, the Senate approved a nonbinding resolution declaring that Mr. McCain is eligible to be president. Its sponsors said the nation’s founders would have never intended to deny the presidency to the offspring of military personnel stationed out of the country.

Her father was in Thailand working for the Defense Department.l. So maybe it’s similar.

When Biden makes the announcement, to avoid the inevitable disappointment surrounding those not chosen, and to attempt party unification, perhaps he should simultaneously announce his choice for Attorney General (Harris?); Secretary of State (Rice?); Secretary of the Treasury (Warren?); Secretary of Defense (Duckworth?)  Obviously, one of the aforementioned is likely to be VP, but all are solid/qualified for cabinet positions.

In what may prove to be a telling interview with FOX News, Jill Biden emphasized that it was highly important that the VP be "close friends" with she and Joe in the same way they were with Barack and Michelle. The Obamas hosted just over 2,000 total guests at their eight state dinners—but only a very select core were invited to more than one. Vice President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden and US Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice (and husband Ian Cameron) attended all eight.

If he did choose someone white all he'd have to do is immediately remind people that he is sticking to his promise to put a black woman on the Supreme Court which will be seen as infinitely more important and something that will long outlast his Presidency and even possibly his life.

Even Jim Clyburn sees it that way.

I'd wager Biden does as well since (removing all the media noise) the only thing he clearly stated race to be a factor in is the Supreme Court pick.

Attorney General is pretty much a career ender, with the exception of Bobby Kennedy who was elected Senator from NY in 1964, and a few who were appointed to the Supreme Court — and the last time that happened was Tom Clarke under Truman.

I can't believe some of you are "claiming " you won't vote if Biden picks someone you don't approve of. Remember there are other races on the ballot that are important, Senators for some, congressmen/women for everyone, some Governors, other state and local races, some judges and some ballot proposals.

I just don't get not voting, Republicans vote and vote in every election, they are a minority party but they keep winning national and local elections even in blue states and blue areas because they hold their noses and vote for their party, while Democrats and progressives want a purity test or their choice and if they don't get what they want they refuse to vote for anyone.

Um, excuse me, but I hold the title of stiffest Congressman. Ask any of my interns.

Clearly his advisers were looking to the DL poll to make sure the pick was right r113.
