Black and Latino Groups and Leaders Want Anyone but Amy Klobuchar for Biden's Vice President

Two days before Super Tuesday, NAACP Minneapolis and Black Lives Matter activists protested Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar's rally before it began over her involvement with the murder conviction of a black teen. Klobuchar canceled the rally. The next day, unable to curry enough support nationwide, she ended her campaign for president, looked into a television camera from Dallas, and told her home state of Minnesota to support former Vice President Joe Biden.

This shows that I don’t know beans about internal Democrat Party politics. I thought that Klobuchar was (is?) the sanest choice for Veep that the Democrats have.

[Ouchthatonehurt]

Stacey Abrams…she’s like two or three VP’s in one.

[Texas Eagle]

That’s rich. Odds are that Klofubar prosecuted the black teen under the provisions of the crime bill Gropin’Joe used to brag about writing.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Sanity is a disqualifier for them

Just look at who their presumptive nominee is

And that Stacey The Tank Abrams would EVEN BE CONSIDERED

[Lizavetta]

Sensible Shoes Amy reminds me of a librarian or the school nurse.

[chesley]

Sanity does not live on the Democratic side. It visits only when it can’t be avoided, and never stays long.

[Let's Roll]

Yes, but she’s white. Racism only works one way.

[rhinohunter]

Klobuchar may be the biggest loser from Sleepy’s “You’re not Black” gaffe. Sleepy may now be forced to choose a woman of color.

[Jess Kitting]

Sanity is a disqualifier for them

Yes, the VP candidate must be:

Non-male
Non-White
Non-straight
Non-binary
Non-sensical

[Arcadian Empire]

Stacey Abrams will eat the other VP contenders as a midmorning snack.

I'm exactly where you are. If someone asked me which of the women whose names are being tossed around for Biden's VP would I think was his smartest choice, I'd say Klob. If their goal is to claw back the upper midwest by winning back some of the white middle class that went for Trump last time, Klob seems like a non-insane choice for making a run at that. So I guess I'm very glad to hear that she's unacceptable. Excellent. Bring on the wackiest, most offensive, shrewish hag of color they can find!

[shanover]

My god they very well may push Biden to pick Abrams. I don’t think Barry’s husband wants it.

[Mariner]

He is in a corner and must choose a black woman.

Harris, Rice or the retard from Georgia.

There are no other options given current Dim politics.

[lightman]

Cue “Moochelle, my belle....”

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Klobuchar couldn’t even “curry” up some rice. She’s a media creation because she was semi-conscious and articulate (until you examined what she said and then much of it was leftist pablum).

[Truthoverpower]

She is By far the best choice

Biden is just a place holder this year. They know it

[BlackAdderess]

Klobacher seemed to me as the most likely to be able to pull in rank-and-file union support as well as independents.

They have Susan Rice, the America-last globalist of many foreign policy disasters (Libya for one). They have Michelle Obama, who has neither Hillary’s standing as a senator or Sec. of State. They have Stacy Abrams. They have Harris, whose demographic appeal seems to be exclusively to dirty old male democrat party bosses.

[faithhopecharity]

I’m not promoting her but Amy would be the best available veep the D’s have floated. I therefore hope they don’t choose her.
