Amy Klobuchar withdrew once she had ZERO chance. There was no way Biden could pick a White woman who successfully prosecuted Black criminals. It would have infuriated his base. Kamala, Val, Susan, Keisha, and Stacey are all by the ready. I think there is value on Val. I did not like her in the impeachment fiasco, but I think the Democrat party did. And she gives Biden Florida. Plus she was a cop early in her career, and became a police chief. With some thinking abuse by police is the most important issue facing the country (what else are people gathering en masse for?), her credentials are strong. You can get 5-1 odds on her. Seems like a good value, as the 'favorite' is from California, and does have some baggage. |

If this were true, he’d have chosen her already and the election would be over. I think most people overrate how much importance a VP pick has on an election. Unless they are a complete disaster like Sarah Palin, the reality is the VP candidate is mostly irrelevant. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

That’s the one. Withdraw and say the thing that will net you the most popularity in the current climate. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

People thought Biden might be a jam with what he said. This makes it easier for him. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Other than gender and skin color being his first two qualifications what did he say? The President is a fink. |

That was it I believe. But if your other best optional candidates withdraw on their own, it’s pretty hard for their supporters to just blame Biden for it. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18762 | I personally would prefer some vice candidates that probably would hurt his chances. But right now it’s more important to me that he win. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Anybody who thinks the voting public gives a tinkers damn about any VP pick in any year, is politically naive. Nobody votes because they like the VP pick. I can't even remember who Hillary picked, if I ever even knew. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

It was some beta guy who said he would be her "right hand person" not "right hand man." The President is a fink. |
