‘A dream ticket’: Black lawmakers pitch Biden-Harris to beat Trump
The Politico ^ | May 12, 2019 | Heather Caygle and John Bresnahan

The Congressional Black Caucus may have found an answer to its Joe Biden dilemma: Vice President Kamala Harris.

Some black lawmakers are agonizing over whether to back Biden or two members of the close-knit caucus — Sens. Harris and Cory Booker — who are also vying for the White House, according to interviews with a dozen CBC members.

But with the former vice president jumping out to a huge, if early, lead in the polls, several CBC members are warming to the idea of a Biden-Harris ticket to take on President Donald Trump.

“That would be a dream ticket for me, a dream ticket!” said Rep. Lacy Clay (D-Mo.). “If she is not the nominee, that would be a dream ticket for this country.”

Harris is everything the 76-year-old Biden is not. The freshman senator from California is younger, a woman and a person of color. As Biden gets dinged for his bipartisan bromides, Harris is winning applause from progressives for her merciless cross-examination of Trump officials.

Democrats are also desperate to boost black turnout in 2020, blaming the drop-off from Barack Obama’s wins as one reason for Hillary Clinton’s defeat.

“Either combination there, I’d love,” said Rep. Anthony Brown (D-Md.). “I think he’s going to look to balance his ticket so that the ticket itself is more appealing. ... I think it would make sense and it wouldn’t surprise me if he picked a woman of color.”

That’s a dream ticket all right - for Trump. “Gropin’ Joe and the Nasty Ho”, now playing at a county fair near you. :)

Sarcasm Off....
Who didn’t see this coming?
Oh, and it is a winning ticket for the left. They will turn out everyone.

Biden - Harris; Mondale - Ferraro all over again. And after that campaign, Ferraro was never a force in national politics again.

Besides, with Hillary wanting him dead during the primary season, and Kamala waiting for him to die if he actually won, what are the chances that Gropin' Joe would live long enough to die of natural causes?

“I don’t think that she is “Constitutionally Eligible.” Her parents had her before they became naturalized citizens? But that has not stopped these traitorous assholes before.”

No ones even talking about it.

I think Rachel Dolezal is darker than Kameltoe.

Nope, it will be Joe Biden, and he will choose Hillary Clinton. After the election she will do a Vince Foster on the old man who hugs girls, and she ends up as PRESIDENT..1st woman.

Biden was assassination insurance for Obama.

Kamel-toe will be assassination assurance for Biden.

Is she Constitutionaly eligible, you ask. Since when did this country’s security, and our Constitution mean anything to the leftists?

Harris is INELIGIBLE.

She was not born of citizen parents. Hell, at least Obastard had one parent who was a citizen. This one

And what will they run on ? Reparations ? Green New Deal ? infanticide ?

No....it'll be the usual racism, homophobia, social security, personal destruction.

DJT would chew 'em up. Kamala isn't the brightest bulb ...unless compared to Joe.
