Biden says he will start vetting process for VP pick 'in a matter of weeks'
The Hill ^ | 03 22 2020

Posted on 03/22/2020 4:48:05 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Former Vice President Joe Biden (D) said Sunday that he would begin the process of searching for a vice presidential candidate in a few weeks as he cements his lead as the frontrunner in the Democratic primary race for the White House.

In comments to reporters during a phone call with members of the media and supporters, the former vice president said that he was looking at a minimum of "six or seven" possible candidates for the position.

“I have to start that vetting process relatively soon, meaning in a matter of weeks," Biden said. "I think there will be a group that is in excess of six or seven people that I look at – because those background checks matter."

Biden in the call acknowledged he had consulted with former President Barack Obama about his possible pick. During a debate earlier in the month, Biden pledged to pick a woman as his vice president.

"But I think there are plenty of women who are ready, been tested out there who are capable of answering all those questions," he told reporters. "And the most important thing, and I've actually talked to Barack about this -- the most important thing is that there has to be someone who, the day after they’re picked, is prepared to be President of the United States of America if something happened.”

We sure he’s still alive?

Has he taken a COVID19 test yet? 78 and a cancer survivor in bad physical condition...

My sources in the Biden camp tell me Joe has narrowed his choices down to either Judy Garland or “that black lady who was on the Jeffersons”.

Yeah, and his weak politically correct driven mind will obviously be selecting the one to appeal to the most DIVERSE groups rather than one who loves the country and has the wisdom & experience for the job.
In other words: they have to be firstly NON White, Non Male and most importantly spout every anti-american diatribe possible!

For this year DNC list of party clowns that paraded onto the public stage for President, To quote from that Sci-Fi movie Armageddon with Bruce Willis; when his crew walked out all dressed in astronauts suits, the real NASA astronauts quipped "Talk about the WRONG STUFF!!"

He's toast.

Scott Adams pointed out that Joke Biden can't even figure out how to use a smart phone to put out daily Periscopes informing the nation.

So easy a child could do it.

This is an exercise in futility. Joe Biden is NOT going to be the nominee, Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York will substitute for him at the last moment, when Joe gets up at the Democrat National Committee and stumbles miserably through what he thought was his “acceptance speech”.

Biden is the obvious candidate. Too bad they have no VP candidate...He’ll make it Warren. She can pull votes in categories he can’t....like the women’s vote.

I’m looking forward to the day when Unka Joe denies that he ever said that he was going to choose a woman as VP.
