  • Joe Biden's VP pick and other such stuff..

    My gut tells me that Joe Biden is going to pick Tammy Duckworth the junior United States Senator from Illinois to be his running mate.. We will find out in a couple of weeks I suppose.

    I don't have the first guess as to whom it'll be.

    There are a number of traits besides gender that his VP could have. The one I'm hoping for is youth; Biden needs a young VP,

      Biden needs a young mainstream African-American female who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking girl.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        You forgot lesbian/trans.

          Whoever he picks, I'll bet her hair will smell good to him...

            That would be on alternate days.

                  To get me to vote for Biden (which is not totally out of the question at this time), his VP choice better be competent. With his higher than normal chances compared to most Presidents of dying in office, I have to be convinced his nominee is President-ready. For me, the people who come to mind are Senator Warren or Governor Cuomo. That I won't like their politics is different. I'll at least feel that the nominee is ready to be President if the need arises. If Biden nominates a flash-in-the-pan like Stacey Abrams or Beto O'Rourke, I'm done with him.

                    Imagine a VP pick based on quota and not qualification. What a world.

                              At first, I thought I disagreed (re. my desire for youth vs your desire for competence), but I've changed my mind.

                              For example, I actually like Ocasio-Cortez as a Representative, but I wouldn't want her as the VP pick. She's a bit too feisty, and probably isn't the best second-choice for POTUS.

                              I too want someone competent (and young); someone with experience.
