Biden’s best vice-president pick is obvious (Tammy Duckworth)
NYT ^ | June 28, 2020 | Frank Bruni, New York Times

Posted on 06/28/2020 4:29:19 PM PDT by Fawn

Whatever his wobbles, Joe Biden has, from the start of his presidential campaign, got one thing exactly right: The 2020 election is a battle for the soul of America. That’s not just a pretty slogan. It’s the stomach-knotting truth — and it’s the frame he should use for choosing his running mate. It’s why he should pick Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois. She’s a paragon of the values that Donald Trump, for all his practice as a performer, can’t even pantomime. She’s best described by words that are musty relics in his venal and vainglorious circle: “sacrifice,” “honour,” “humility.” More than any of the many extraordinary women on Biden’s list of potential vice-presidential nominees, she’s the anti-Trump, the antidote to the ugliness he revels in and the cynicism he stokes.

Pretty sure Hillary is not going to let her last opportunity at the presidency slip by. And obviously the whole world is afraid of her, so who in the Demonrat party is going to try to stop her?

like K. Harris, she is ineligible for the Veep position, too (US Constitution 12th Amendment)

Oh good grief, colored people don't have to abide by that law. Only honkies must abide.

If selected Duckworth should be forced to resign as a Illinois US Senator

Not at all. Lloyd Bentsen didn't resign ('88). Heck, Obama himself didn't resign HIS IL Senate seat until after he was elected. That's what got Blago in trouble!

Tammy? OMG, what a stupid excuse for a name. Almost, but not quite as bad as Bambi.

President Tammy? Even if she were a right-wing Republican, she’d be a joke.

Her father was an American working in Thailand. So that makes her natural born doesn’t it?

I think it is going to be Coretta Booker. You might know her as the former Cory Booker. All she has to do to get the slot is identify as female, get her junk chopped off, and put on a dress. She would be the perfect VP for the dems, minority, transgender, and woman.

I don’t think she is black enough for the skin color voters BiteMe wants to attract. Not even the dead ones.

Notice who wrote this.

Most Democrats are some combination of: mentally disturbed, cognitively impaired, below average IQ, on neurotransmitter altering drugs. Biden captures all categories.

Posting the trash that, Bruni of the NYT writes should be forbidden. Yes, First Amendment and all does allow but, come on now, that trash would fill a landfill. He uses a potential VP pick to rip apart President Donald J. Trump.
That, alone, is the purpose of his trash. Bruni should be banned from Free Republic. Bruni is so sloppy, he doesn’t bother checking her eligibility.

Joe Biden has a nice smile. That is the extent of Joe Biden.
Got him elected time and again. No need for a functioning brain, if you have a decent smile. That statement, in 1977, is more racist, in intent and purpose, than a noose left in a locker or on a garage door. (Proven hoaxes) and knee-jerk reaction ammo for the idiot press.
And, Biden is still being considered a front runner in the presidential race? We are doomed.

Picking a Vice Presidential candidate is a problem for democrats. But its a problem Biden wants to get his arms around.

It’s not going to make a bit of difference who he has as VP to the Hillary voters.........they’ll vote Biden or anyone rather than see Trump as Pres. another 4 years.

I Noticed Netflex is running a lot of Documentaries on the 2012 Election.....most center on the Hillary voters and those making the Documentaries are Demorats, so they can re-run how miserable they were when they lost.
