Desperate: Biden grasps for Gretchen Whitmer as potential running mate

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.

The TV/YouTube ads I see demonstrate that is EXACTLY what he is trying to do.

“Besides, she appears to not be a racial/ethnic minority, which we have been told for months were the leading candidates.”

I suspect that in many Democrat areas she probably is!

For all the other areas she could probably fool them and campaign in blackface. As a Democrat there would probably not be any real repercussions, at least from the media. (Cf. the governor of Virginia.)

I’m sure Joe would not notice one way or another as long as he gets to sniff her hair.

It’s the same polling that said Hillary would hit that level of support in Michigan: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3872615/posts?page=28#28

Whitmer over 60%?! ROFL! I have at least 50-60 friends in Michigan and they all HATE her with a passion.

Governor Shitmer they call her.

Do you are saying that Gretchen Whitmer is the Vice Amy Klobuchar?

Well I guess the people who were polled (Dem’s and libs) liked what she’s done and continues to do so; It’s going to be interesting here in WA with our governor’s race - Inslee continues to be a moron destroying WA’s economy - 1500 deaths out of a population of 7.5 million and he shuts the state down.

He needs the black vote badly and I know you being part of the Biden campaign know Whitmer doesn’t deliver that

OOPS! I do recall 2 hardcore left PSYCHOS who said she’s doing a “good job”. Forget LOCKDOW LIZARD, JoeJoe. He’d be better off with Loretta Lynch MOB.
Either way he turns, the strings of the puppet get tangled 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.

Joe Biden should pick a moderate Southerner like Roy Cooper, Governor of North Carolina.

Biden may ride the white vote to victory.

And Hillary had 100% chance to win in 2016 /s

In that 85% of the voters are white, isn’t the statistic you cited simply mean that Trump is behind in the polls overall (which isn’t exactly news) while doing remarkably good with minorities?

How low, would have been our real Covid 19 death rate? If these granny killing democrat governors had gotten the virus and died in the first week? Instead of them killing the innocent grannies!

Mass murderers of nursing home patients!:

Faces of PSYCHOPATHS. Exhibit A.

“Her popularity in the last poll in July was over 60%.“

Ah yes, from FR’s rat cheerleader. Well I’m in Mi and I don’t believe that number for a minute. Half Whit is hated here. The rats took the SOS and the AG in 18 that is a bigger problem than having that idiot Whitmer running with clueless Joe. I don’t think Obongo is going to allow Joe to go back on his black woman promise anyway
