You dont want someone who gives MORE energy to trump voters or ambivalent ones. And while it shouldnt matter, he doesnt have the "look" either.
Bharara, OTOH, might be a great choice.

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

I prefer her for Attorney General relayerbob Apr 2020 #1

Sally Yates, definitely dansolo Apr 2020 #21

Adam Schiff? Please no. oldsoftie Apr 2020 #26

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

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

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
