I think most all those in contention could do a good job, but it’s also about reading the optics of the time, the opportunity to make history, picking someone who can complement Biden, the need for someone people think could be president if needed and could be set up to be the next president in 4 to 8 years.
I think Harris ticks all the boxes. For that reason, I hope it’s her.
I believe Biden wants Harris, but his team is pushing him away from her. I think Whitmer would be a mistake this time although she’s got a bright future on front of her. Same for Duckworth. They just don’t tick off some critical boxes.

Posted: 8/11/20 at 8:56amAn update on Convention speakers in regards to VP: it appears in addition to Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris & Gretchen Whitaker have also been slotted to speak. The New York Times reports “As a precaution, planners have scheduled speaking times for some top vice-presidential contenders in case they are not picked.”

I think I'm right in saying that there have been 14 Vice Presidents who also served as President. John Adams; Thomas Jefferson; Martin van Buren; John Tyler; Millard Fillmore; Andrew Johnson; Chester Arthur; Theodore Roosevelt; Calvin Coolidge; Harry Truman; Lyndon Johnson; Richard Nixon; Gerald Ford; George H. W. Bush.
And in eight years, we can add our first female Vice President to that list.

Bernie supporters continue to be the WORST of course. When he congratulated Kamala most of them were insulting, horrible and refuse to vote now. Sorry losers, your guy ain't it but don't screw all of us in November, ya feel me?

Where things stand 81 days, 00 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds before the November 3, 2020 election:
1. Both the House & Senate adjourned without a coronavirus relief deal. Senate reconvenes on 9/8; the House on 9/14. 2. Both chambers have to send the potus a FY2021 appropriations/ funding bill for signature real soon because current funding lapses on 9/30. Another shutdown anyone? 3. Can this Congress actually crank out both a coronavirus relief package & FY2021 appropriations bill next month with half of Congress in campaign mode AND will you-know-who sign them? 4. Why are mail-in ballots okay for the potus' domicile Florida but not for voters in other swing states? 5. President Biden's first act should be to send AG Bill Barr packing followed by the current Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.

Question for you guys.
Looking at old election results. One thing I did notice was that the Democrats used to be very successful in the sunshine belt, especially Texas, this has changed now, what caused that?

Three words: Civil Rights Act
Once the Democratic Party became the party that advocated for civil rights, it alienated voters, especially those in southern states, who were not supportive of equal rights for African American citizens.

Brilliant cheers.
So guess they lost a lot of southern states, but the trade off was to pick up the North-East states, it wasn’t possible to pick up both? Texas now seems to becoming more liberal and I guess it won’t be long before it is blue?
