Stacey Abrams makes case for a minority woman on Biden ticket
Washington Examiner ^ | April 22, 2020 | Naomi Lim

She added, "But that loyalty isn't simply how we vote: It's how we work. And if we want to signal that that work will continue, that we're going to reach not just to certain segments of our community but to the entire country, then we need a ticket that reflects the diversity of America."

Abrams defended her overt campaign for the No. 2 spot on Wednesday, echoing Biden's campaign slogan and responding to criticism that she lacks the national experience for the position.

"I try to be straightforward," she said. "I learned early on that if I didn't speak for myself, I didn't tell the story."

She appeals to the gapped tooth demo.

Since when did “buffet busting” become a qualifier for national political office?

I think the gameplan is that she’d be around again (assuming the Democrats lose) in 2024, and be the chief candidate.

I would compare her Aunt Jemima, only Aunt Jemima was a nice old lady who loved feeding people delicious breakfasts. A worthy calling.

Abrams, on the other hand, seems to have no calling other than to be a leftist harpy.

Too many of those around. Not enough good cooks.

Abrams makes the case for "one heartbeat away from the Presidency."

Seriously though, naming Abrams puts the Democrats into a box:

If Biden picks her as his running mate and then the party has to replace Biden over diminished capacity, one would think the new top-ticket candidate would want his or own choice as VP, and not inherit Biden's choice if his capabilities were challenged when making it.

That puts the Democrats in the position of either having to deny the replacement candidate his/her choice, or booting a black woman from the ticket.

She also would send a signal that the Democrats want to push the narrative about voter suppression. She’s the poster girl for that subject, as the liberal view is that the Georgia governor’s election was stolen from her.

Slow Joe really needs this woman on the ticket.

Might cure his sniffing compulsion.

She’ll probably end up getting arrested or shot at a McDonald’s brawl over french fries or something. Definitely “that type”.

“It’s how we work. And if we want to signal that that work will continue, that we’re going to reach not just to certain segments of our community but to the entire country, then we need a ticket that reflects the diversity of America.”

What passes for “logic” in this corner of America is just pathetic. NONE of that statement makes a whit of sense. None of it.

It does sound like this is her message. Maybe Michelle Obama will give her the gentle nudge.

That gap is awful. She should have her dentist fabricate a center tooth to fill it.

Or else she might eat him.

He’ll pick a more “magical negro” (to quote Biden) lady than her.

Probably Kamala Harris or Susan Rice.

Only the DNC cocktail set thinks highly of any of those 3 candidates (Abrams, Harris & Rice — Oh My!)
