>>>He painted himself into a corner by promising to name “a woman of color” and they all keep failing the background checks<<<

Obviously the daily Tanning Bed treatments Lieawatha Warren is being given aren’t working as fast as they had hoped.

Angela Davis has experience running for Vice President--she did so twice on the Communist Party ticket.

Biden should pick Sheila Jackson Lee to put Texas in play. She has a law degree from the University of Virginia so must be smart. She is something of an expert on astronomy (or at least on the planet Mars). Delightful personality. What's not to like?

I don’t think he actually said it would be a woman of color but the media is running with that anyways because they are fake news. Now they’ve made it certain that if it’s not it’ll look badly on someone.

They candidate doesn’t have to be qualified, the media will be covering for whomever he chooses. If it’s not Obama it won’t be mich of anything. Obama, has very little in the way of credentials for being a heartbeat away but like i said. The candidate doesn’t have to be qualified.

False premise.

Biden's not picking anything.

She'd have to do something about those pesky names "Jackson" and "Lee" 😉

The Dems are delaying Joe until they can figure out how to replace him in the line-up. Joe will not be the nominee

Bernie could be his running mate - all he’d have to do is identify as a black female. What’s the problem? They perfected that scam!

“I’m amazed no one is mentioning Donna Brazile.”

Especially since she has the ability to know what questions will be asked prior to any debate.

Other than running her mouth, ... I am not aware that Warren has run anything of even minor significance. Besides, Senators seem to lean heavily towards making of a bad executive. Ask Sessions, Kerry, Obozo. ...

He could pick Candice Owens and then take what is left of his marbles and go home.

The maneuvering is not only related to the VP pick. They are trying to find a route to have the flexibility to replace Biden should it become necessary. They have to do that without picking Bernie Sanders but somehow manage not to piss off Sanders voters.

So they can’t have Biden withdraw before the convention because then they lose control over who replaces him as his delegates are free to cast their votes for whom they will — and there are a lot of Sanders delegates who will be very pissed off if they are railroaded at the convention. Bernie got a lot of votes in the primaries and deserves the nod if Biden steps down.

If Biden goes thru the convention, they have to pick someone who satisfies several possibilities should Biden have to withdraw after the nomination, including.

Since the VP pick “has” to be a black woman if Biden withdraws for health reasons before the election, how do they replace him without picking the black VP Candidate? Not replacing him with the VP pick means rejecting a black woman for the top spot and choosing, likely, a white guy.

If they decide to go with a black candidate at the top, should Biden withdraw, they don’t have a viable black top-of-the-ticket candidates except Michelle Obama or Oprah. But neither has shown interest. And, if they replace Biden with a black candidate, an all black ticket is a no-go.

Finally, Biden may refuse to step down. In that case, they need a viable and very credible VP candidate, probably one who is black and female.

Lotta needles to thread there.

True. I’m not advocating for Warren all, seems there’s no one qualified.

It’s been my opinion that the DNC overlords are making the decision.


There is no such thing. The DNC is a paper org. It was so broke in 2016 that the Hillary campaign had to take it over. Team Obama is pulling the levers here.

Why is not being an elected official a downside?

I keep reading that Michelle doesn’t want to have to do the work and I pray that is correct. Cuz, if she is the pick, well, I seriously have no faith is voters. I feel like that is what this is leading to, though.
