Joe Biden’s next big decision: Choosing a running mate

Joe Biden faces the most important decision of his five-decade political career: choosing a vice president.

Selecting a running mate is always critical for a presidential candidate. But it’s an especially urgent calculation for the 77-year-old Biden, who, if he wins, would be the oldest American president in history

“We’re still going to be in crisis or recovery, and you want a vice president who can manage that,” said Karen Finney, a Democratic strategist who worked for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

Biden faces pressure on multiple fronts. He must consider the demands of his racially, ethnically and ideologically diverse party, especially the black women who propelled his nomination. He must balance those concerns with his stated desire for a “simpatico” partner who is “ready to be president on a moment’s notice.”

I thought his next big decision would be what pudding to eat for dessert.

Pick Gov. Whitmer. She got the Communist thing down pat. Does anyone see what’s happening in MI?

The only decision Joe is making these days is between cherry or lime Jell-O at his basement nursing home. His handlers are making the rest of “his” decisions.

If he remembers what he said, running mate will be a woman.

So who will it be?

Governor of Michigan, I forget her name right now.

Stacey Abrams, so they can signal to the black community, plus, signal to the liberal view that the Republicans stole her election as governor of Georgia.

Elizabeth Warren, so they can signal to some of the Bernie Sanders crowd that they are with them.

He staked his political career and his nomination on picking a black woman as his VP. If he goes back on that promise, he is dead meat

He stated that he would pick a progressive woman of color. Bernie will kick and scream if he doesn’t name some communist.

If it’s got to be a black woman, then Stacey Abrams, Kamala Harris must be frontrunners.

He would never pick a Sheila Jackson Lee or a Maxine Waters type, would he?

Oh please he is too far gone and stupid to pick a VP , plus the pick with be a black woman which is so typical of the modern day , far left, radical Democrat party.

When will blacks wake up and see they are just being used and classed as stupid.

America has given up on insisting that our President must be a Legal and Naturally Born ... American!

Neither Of Harris’s parents were Americans when she was born!

If Harris could become president then any kid from any third world $h!+Hole, with 3rd world parents could become president!

Does this now mean that an Illegal Alien drug cartel leader and his Illegal Alien wife can come over the border, have the wife squat and give birth to a future president?

“If it’s got to be a black woman, then Stacey Abrams, Kamala Harris must be frontrunners.”

Why not an Obama for the first black female Vice President. No not Barack, but Michelle. Wait maybe is Michael not Michelle.

That is just too confusing. He better go with Hillary she can be the first black vice president since her husband was the first black president.

Condoleeza Rice, to show his ability to reach across the aisle, and because she’s a woman of color.
