Desperate: Biden grasps for Gretchen Whitmer as potential running mate
American Thinker ^ | Aug. 8, 2020 | Monica Showalter

He's desperate.

Faced with a slew of baggage-laden female black candidates for his running mate, each of whom could drag his ticket down, Joe Biden is reaching out and around the vaunted race box to consider Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan as his running mate.

If Joe Biden is smart, he'll try to appeal to working class Whites in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. That's the election right there.

I agree. Every poll, even those favorable to Trump, are showing him losing significant ground among whites - some, including the favorable Rasmussen poll, show Trump turning in the worst performance among whites for a Republican presidential candidate in 25 years. Biden may ride the white vote to victory.

My nephew and family live in Michigan. He absolutely HATES the governor and her nazi tactics to lock down the state forever and kills its senior citizens in nursing homes.

Great closing paragraph that sums it all up...
Any questions as to why Biden can't seem to decide? This is a sign of a campaign in trouble, and Biden's got a load of bad candidates, all of them as baggage-laden as himself. If he can't pick a running mate unless it's someone who brings him nothing, he's a goner. And his desperation is showing.

A Whitmer pick would hand victory to Trump in not just Michigan but Minnesota and Wisconsin.

She is not "very popular". It's mostly fair weather lefties who can't see how wrong she's been. Mostly due to being in a bubble. I have listed to a few of her supporters some of the idiocies she did with her edicts. When they hear them for the first time, as opposed to what they think they know, they blush and are embarrassed.

If she's the one, and Trump starts ads showing what she actually did, as opposed to "she kept us safe", she will be toast.

LOL! Wretched Hitler? You can have her JoeJoe.

Unfortunately, that’s exactly what she’s likely to become if Joe wins since, just like Hindenburg in Germany in 1933, he’s likely to be out of office within a year, making her President, just as happened in 1933 when Hindenburg died, leaving Germany to Hitler.

You guys put way too much faith in polling. Those are lies with numbers attached. I’m not sure we can get a legitimate election with Democrats anyway. But she is a tyrant, a maniac, and a hypocrite.

Perhaps, but I believe the polls this year are more accurate than they were in 2016.

Minneapolis is in Minnesota.

Whitmer’s from Michigan.

Why do you think they are more accurate?

She would make Michigan tough to win for Trump. Her popularity in the last poll in July was over 60%.


Incredible that 60% of Michiganders love tyranny.

The Monday to Wednesday 50% subsidy scheme has worked an economic miracle at a small fraction of the cost of Trump’s $1200 voter bribes.

To avoid the long lines common in the UK, I suggest 30% subsidies Monday through Wednesday and 20% the other days of the week.

You are quite consistent in your tepid (at best) support of the President- bordering on being anti Trumper. Your page here attempts to portray otherwise with that photo of a young Trump with Reagan, but your words betray that.

You may claim that you’re playing Devil’s advocate, but through your posting history you’re quite negative regarding the President. Many times I’ve started to say something and stopped, not today.

Pick a side.
