‘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.”

The black women are never good enough (in the Democrat party) to get to the top of the ticket.

The ironic part is black isn’t considered a color.

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.

Hope to get in through White House backdoor when Democrats join GOP to impeach “Sleepy Joe”.

And he resigns for “health “ reasons.

I actually thought of this a couple weeks ago. I fear this ticket could win.

I think it should always be added that she got a lot of experience on Willie Brown’s staff.

You got it pretty close. It should read: “I think it should always be added that she got a lot of experience a Willie Brown’s mattress.”

A dunce and a bitch either way.

She's put out quite an effort to get where she is today.

"Yeah, that’s a winning ticket. A dunce and a bitch."

Actually, that allows Biden to check off three identity politics boxes:
Black,
Female,
Handicapped (mentally challenged)
