Biden wants "strong" vice president who is "ready to be president on day one"
CBS "News" ^ | June 10, 2020 | By Kathryn Watson

As he considers who to pick to be his running mate, Joe Biden says he's looking for someone who is "ready to be president on day one." Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, made the comment in an interview with "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell.

"It's really important that whomever you pick as a vice president agrees with you in terms of your philosophy of government and agrees with you on the systemic things that you wanna change," Biden told O'Donnell. "And is, in fact, going to be able to be someone who is not at all intimidated by the president, not at all intimidated walkin' in the White House. And is going to be prepared to give their unvarnished opinion and be able to privately argue with the president if they disagree. I want someone strong. I want someone strong, and someone who can -- who is ready to be president on day one."

As people across the country speak out over the death of George Floyd, the presumptive nominee said there is "absolutely" systemic racism in law enforcement, but not just in law enforcement.

"It's in housing, it's in education, and it's in everything we do. It's real. It's genuine. It's serious," Biden said. "Look, not all law enforcement officers are racist; my lord, there are some really good, good cops out there. But the way in which it works right now is we've seen too many examples of it."

"ready to be president on day one."

Seriously, he is incapable and by the time January 2021 rolls around he'll probably be incapacitated by his mental deterioration. The Black woman on the impeachment panel is pushing hard for it. She's from Florida I believe which might be strategic for him.

Still pretty good, as long as the Epstein investigation can be shuttered for another 5 months.

The Kenyanesian Usurper chose Biden as assassination insurance because NOBODY wanted to see Biden as President.

Despite Sleep Joe’s declared interest in a female VP candidate, would not be surprised if he goes rogue and picks a man...

However, this guy MUST be black...that’s more important now after the Floyd false flag...they’ve got the natives restless, Mission accomplished!

The black women on the list are mostly unknowns, or disliked (Harris), or a caricature joke (Abrams).

Biden needs a real black man like Booker, Mr. Spartacus!

Raise two hot dogs and a bratwurst!

Corn Pop For VP!
(Baddest Dude In Delaware!)

(Corn Pop doesn't appear to be a woman, like Joe-B promised, but, these days, gender flipping seems to be rather routine, so that should be no problem.)

(Some news sources also say that Corn Pop seems to be dead, but, again, that does not seem to be a big problem.   Many democrat voters are also dead.)
