The VP simply MUST be someone who the average person is satisfied would be able to take over as President if needed.
Palin removed that option for McCain in '08.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I'm beginning to think it's a no-brainer for Joe. [View all] mobeau69 Apr 2020 OP

I prefer her for Attorney General relayerbob Apr 2020 #1

In a perfect world, I agree. But this time we need to win the election above all else. mobeau69 Apr 2020 #2

There are other great choices relayerbob Apr 2020 #7

Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, Adam Schiff, just to name a few padah513 Apr 2020 #14

Sally Yates, definitely dansolo Apr 2020 #21

Adam Schiff? Please no. oldsoftie Apr 2020 #26

Plus, Adam Schiff is doing a great job in the House. Laelth Apr 2020 #29

Preet or Sally would be my choice. Adam is best in the House. We need him there soooooo much! onetexan Apr 2020 #45

He already committed to choosing a woman.... Upthevibe Apr 2020 #56

Joe dies. This isnt new; he's even mentioned it himself. oldsoftie Apr 2020 #24

Hear! Hear! n/t Laelth Apr 2020 #30

Why would he die? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #42

Well, the life expectancy of a man born in '43 is about 63. Joe is 77. It HAS to be considered. oldsoftie Apr 2020 #50

That's a great argument Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #51

Oh lord. Ignoring reality is what helps trump. Who also happens to be 74 in a few weeks. oldsoftie Apr 2020 #53

OK Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #55

And there's the answer! Because it WILL be brought up. oldsoftie Apr 2020 #57

Let them bring it up Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #61

Yes, I agree it's a no-brainer. Maven Apr 2020 #9

I'm good with whoever (whomever?) Joe picks. Talitha Apr 2020 #10

I believe you're right StFrancis1 Apr 2020 #11

"no brainer" That's a very unfortunate image in relation to aging Joe Biden fpublic Apr 2020 #12

... padah513 Apr 2020 #15

Can you back up WHY it will be Kamala ? Why is it a no-brainer ? OnDoutside Apr 2020 #13

It's not a no brainer at all. Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #17

mobeau69, Mayor Pete is highly intelligent and answers questions better than pretty much anyone. Sloumeau Apr 2020 #18

I think Mayor Pete would make a great Chief of Staff exboyfil Apr 2020 #34

I agree. Sloumeau Apr 2020 #36

Whoever the pick is, it will be the make or break of the campaign IMO. oldsoftie Apr 2020 #25

Joe is no push over. Remember he destroyed Ryan in the 2012 VP debate and he just... brush Apr 2020 #32

I agree 100%. It seems to me to be a perfect choice. nt Ferrets are Cool Apr 2020 #31

Her infamous debate moment will be a constant 24/7 Fox News loop that will be a huge distraction Skya Rhen Apr 2020 #37

I have said one name for VP for over a year, so why stop now, Stacey Abrams Celerity Apr 2020 #40

Has Stacey Abrams endorsed anyone as yet? Skya Rhen Apr 2020 #48

Biden any minute, now that Bernie is out. She maintained neutrality due to her national GOTV efforts Celerity Apr 2020 #49

Stacey Abrams Cornus Apr 2020 #52
