The Democrat’s presumptive nominee Joe Biden will name his running mate as early as next week, and Congressional Black Caucus chair Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) is reportedly a top contender for job.
The California Democrat has emerged as the favorite pick of former Sen. Chris Dodd, who serves on Biden’s vice presidential search committee. According a source who spoke with Politico, Dodd has urged Biden to choose Bass because “she’s a loyal No. 2. And that’s what Biden really wants.”
On the surface, Bass’s background as a former medical professional and South Los Angeles community organizer make her an attractive candidate to serve at a time when public health and racial inequality are on the top of voters’ minds.
Her resume bears the hallmarks of a rising political star, starting with her first foray into elected office 16 years ago, when she won a seat in the California State Assembly and later became the first Black woman in the country to serve as the speaker of a state legislature when she assumed the Speakership in 2008. Prior to this, Bass worked as a physician assistant and a left-wing community activist who founded a non-profit in the 1990s called the Community Coalition. She made headlines after the 1992 L.A. riots for her fight to prevent liquor stores from being rebuilt in the neighborhoods destroyed by the uprising.
In 2010, Bass won her U.S. House seat, where her voting record has been typical of a progressive member of a Democratic Party increasingly embracing socialism.
However, a deep dive into Bass’s background reveals that her influences were not just socialist, but hardcore communist.

It ain’t a “vp” list. It’s an in place LRU selection for when they wheel rip van biden out of the offal office. Which he won’t be in anyway. Of course he’s apparently 1,500 points ahead of Trump currently. Out of 1,006 likely voters.
Pretty much what I’d expect from a Biden-Dodd brain trust..
moderately telling is that biden won’t actually pick his VP candidate himself: others will tell him who his pick is ... pretty much like everything else that biden “decides”, which is basically that he decides nothing himself, he just parrots what he’s told to parrot, and does a VERY poor job of that ... biden can barely decide between butterscotch and chocolate pudding each night for dessert ...
>>Dodd has urged Biden to choose Bass because “she’s a loyal No. 2. And that’s what Biden really wants.”
Bass is certainly a “No. 2”. Dodd had that part right.
Democrats are hardcore communist look whats going on around the country and now the fake mail in votes hello CCCP.
She’s a Castro loving commie ugaly. Slow Joe is easier on the eyes.
Obama is telling Biden to pick Bass, she is who Obama wants and he will demand it of Biden. Obama thinks he is picking the next “virtual” POTUS and that Biden was always a stand in, a card board cut out Dim who could win a general election but not last long, leaving Obama’s Marxist VP pick in charge. Sanders’ socialism is too soft for Obama.
Luntz is a putz.

Frank Luntz plugging Karen Bass to VP Biden calling her “so kind” and “so decent.” Biden then had a long walk and talk with Bass
LOL...maybe Luntz is secretly doing Trump’s bidding...by praising this Commie, Bass.
What’s a LRU?
“Biden’s short list”, aka Affirmative Action Pander list.
Your post cracked me up! That is ONE pitiful brain trust!
“Communist fringe” is mainstream in the Demonrat party.
Between the two of them I think they had 2% in the primaries, pre-Obama. I remember Dodd touting that as enormous potential for growth. Uh-huh.
The only way for Joe Biden to have a chance to win is to pick Michelle Obama. Don’t know if she’ll be offered.
“What’s a LRU?”
I think it’s kind of like a CMQ.
