If he’s nominated Biden will have to tasks a VP candidate who will bring back their base. Warren I think.

Harris seems more likely. Joe’s support with blacks is very soft and he will need a big black turnout. I think as much as anything lack of enthusiasm from the blacks sunk HRC

Ok Harris brings out the blacks but as VP? They don’t even support her now.

I think the base wants fauxcahontis. She drinks beer and is thus relatable.

I used to belong to a volunteer group that would hand out awards at the state and national level in various categories. Every now and then, the judges would determine that there was no first place, and the best group would get second place. Didn't happen very often, but it did.

The dems have this situation going on this cycle. Real opinion polls for the dem nomination would offer "NOTA" as an option. The results would probably be devastating, because if appears that the only consistent opinion dem voters have is "Not Trump". And they have seen how that has turned out for Paul Ryan and people like him.

Eventually the dems will select somebody to be on the ballot in 2020. And that person will join Adlai Stevenson in 1956, Walter Mondale in 1984, and (pick your favorite) to be the designated loser.

I sometimes listen to a black talk station and the enthusiasm for Joe is not there, without the perceived electability he has he would be in single digits. The blacks like Harris but do not think she can win the general. Therefore as VP they get some of what they want and creepy Joe gets a needed boost.

Harris is going to have to get more votes before Joes interested in her.

SO, what about Kamala for Joe’s VP?

When Biden was thinking of running in 2016 Hillary sent him this photo to remind him of what a dumbass he is...

Yes, that’s what said. I think Joe is likely to pick Harris as VP to gin up the black vote. As old as Joe is that ought to scare the hell out of you.

Clown Car occupant gropes to top of polls. Hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand?

A real Commander in Chief would have been sitting at the head of the table. Instead, Obama looks like a second-tier onlooker sitting in that corner.

Biden is allowed to run just to prove how worthless they all are.

Soon we’ll be seeing ads saying, “Hillary for Savior!”

I'm aware of all the polling that shows Democratic candidates can beat President Trump...

Yesterday, Joe Biden brought a cheering crowd of almost 3 dozen fans to it's feet in New Hampshire.

Of course, Creepy Joe is not a "true believer", so maybe the eventual nominee will be someone else more "electable". Massive election fraud and Google algorithms will have to fill in the necessary blanks for him/her/cis to win but no doubt that is the plan.

I have a theory that a lot of black MEN would vote for a Klansman before they would ever vote for a black woman. This might explain the very weak support Harris has even in her own state.

The story I saw was that Obama never authorized the mission to capture Osama bin Laden. After it was already underway his staff dragged him in off the golf course and sat his ass in the chair just for the PR photo.
