I’m betting that Biden has already secured Stacey Abrams as his VP. I could even see Biden saying that he’s only planning on being a one term president because of his age, and then having Abrams handle a lot more than your typical VP.

I totally agree with Russ! Been saying this for years now... except I've been saying "Biden/Booker 2020 for the win."

As for who Biden will choose as his vice president, he will choose someone who is on the same wavelength with respect to political philosophy who he trusts and trusts him implicitly.

Balthasar is on the right track, EM. If Biden has two brain cells to rub together, he will choose a VP nominee that is a woman. As I've stated to you many times already, if Biden is the nominee, he should pick from these candidates... in this order:

1. Stacey Abrams

3. Elizabeth Warren

Do you think Senator Harris fits that bill?

Hell yes, she is... but she's from California and it's a lock already in the Democrats' column. Stacey Abrams might be able to flip Georgia. :)

Here's the thing..

If you had a completely objective person who knows nothing about our politics or history or anything.. A person whose SOLE information source about the Democrat Party is the Dem Candidates for POTUS...

That person would believe that the Democrat Party is the party of open borders and socialism and forced school busing and free full health care for illegals and eliminating all private health care for all Americans...

Now, I ask ya'all.. Honestly..

Is THAT a Democrat Party that can win elections in America 2020???

I honestly don't see how...

He need to do a heckuva lot more than you suggest. The first thing he has to do is give everyone - and I'm not talking about just his fellow candidates - a history lesson about what the vote for the AUMF in Iraq was all about and about the context in which that vote took place. As for who Biden will choose as his vice president, he will choose someone who is on the same wavelength with respect to political philosophy who he trusts and trusts him implicitly. Like President Obama, Biden will delegate great authority to his vice president and when Biden's vice president speaks to any leader in the world, that leader will know, implicitly, that the VP is speaking for Biden. Do you think Senator Harris fits that bill? Balthasar,
