Scoop: Biden advisers debate Stacey Abrams as out-of-the-gate VP choice
Axios ^ | 2-21-2019 | Axios

Close advisers to former Vice President Joe Biden are debating the idea of packaging his presidential campaign announcement with a pledge to choose Stacey Abrams as his vice president.

Why it matters: The popular Georgia Democrat, who at age 45 is 31 years younger than Biden, would bring diversity and excitement to the ticket — showing voters, in the words of a close source, that Biden "isn't just another old white guy."

Show less But the decision poses considerable risk, and some advisers are flatly opposed. Some have pointed out that in a Democratic debate, he could be asked why no one on the stage would be a worthy running mate. Advisers also know that the move would be perceived as a gimmick. Biden's position on the issue couldn't be learned — we were just told about the advisers' debate.

Biden has discussed selecting a running mate early, a move that one senior Democrat said could hurt him by feeding "an air of inevitability," CNN reported. Biden's office declined to comment.

Hiring a radical racist to be VP, because you don’t want to be seen as racist and sexist....

We are the twilight zone, folks...

I just hope it’s a wide gate.

Has Biden already given Stacey a test grope?

It’s a definite trial balloon. Dopey Joe is old—what happens if he bites the dust—

A running mate this early just confirms the non-seriousness of the Biden candidacy.

He’s a pervert. She thinks running with him is smart, she’s even dumber’n I thought. The stink will rub off...”Who’s that fat black woman? Oh, she’s the one who was Joe the Pervert’s running mate”.

I think it’s a ruse to try and raise Abram’s creds so run for Georgia governor, again, next election. “Former VP Candidate” sounds more “official”, than just an unknown.

If it is on the level, then - I dare say - she’ll be there for two reasons for Biden: The affirmative action vote, and assassination insurance (basically the same reasons obama picked Biden...in reverse).

If he doesn’t choose her, it’s because he hates black people.

This clown show is getting better by the day. Meanwhile the adult candidate is licking his chops.

Obama’s insurance policy worked because Biden was loyal, and just grateful to be in the White House period, in any capacity. Stacey doesn’t strike me as the loyal type, least of all to an older white man. I see Stacey actively working to bring Biden down so that she could take his place.
That is the same reason why Obama did not dare chose Hillary as his running mate. Vicious and viperous.

The clown car is going to need to tow a trailer for Abrams to ride in.
