If Joe Biden offers the vice presidential slot to Sen. Kamala Harris, my advice to her would be to politely decline.
Harris is a tested and proven campaigner who will work her backside off to get Biden elected. That said, the vice presidency is not the job she should go for - asking to be considered as attorney general in a Biden administration would be more like it.
Being picked for the vice presidency is obviously a huge honor, and if Biden wins, Harris would make history by being the first woman to hold the job.
But the glory would be short-lived, and historically, the vice presidency has often ended up being a dead end. For every George H.W. Bush, who ascended from the job to the presidency, there’s an Al Gore, who never got there.
True, the vice president does have an advantage the next time the party needs a new nominee, which in Biden’s case could be four years from now. But in the meantime, the vice president has no real power and little chance to accomplish anything independent of the president.
Basically, no one takes the vice president seriously after election day. Just ask Mike Pence.
Plus, if Biden wins, the Democrats will be moving into the White House in the middle of a pandemic and economic recession. The next few years promise to be a very bumpy ride. Barack Obama and the Democrats saved the nation from economic collapse when he took office, and their reward was a blowout loss in the 2010 midterm elections.

Why? This is her best chance to become President!
How very sad. I followed Kamala during the WWF days. And afterward. He was a double amputee who barely existed after his career. He was only 70 years old.

Stupid auto correct. See post 34. Stupid auto correct. See post 34.

Willie, poor Willie:
You ain’t got it. If she gets the VP slot and Dementia Joe wins, she’ll be POTUS within a year or less after he gorks out.
BTW, Libloather:
When’s the gas van I called up from the reeducation camp going to come for you after that RT article you posted?
Kamala is Willie s HEW TOY!!! Thank you Andrew WILCOW!!
Willie knows darn well that Biden won’t last very long, if he wins. If Biden somehow wins and becomes 46, his VP will be 47 in short order. Everyone amongst the DNC elite knows this. It’s their useful idiot voters that seem to be totally clueless about Biden’s cognitive decline.
