As long as itās not Bernie, Elizabeth, or Jill. We really need to win this time.
āBiden would likely cast a long shadowā
k
āHe would carry the imprimatur of the Obama administration in addition to occupying a space in the middle that isnāt as crowded as others who are more actively running,ā
uh-huh
Joe would probably do better as an elder statesman and kingmaker than a candidate.
That said, i would love to see him punch Trumps lights out if Trump tried stalking him around a debate stage.
Contrary to what young folks say, Biden would be the one who takes it to trump. Biden never holds back. Heās run before and knows what it will take. Biden will not put up with trumpās lies and crazy stuff.
We have, alas, a Constitutional impediment. (One imposed by the Republicans after FDR won four times in a row.)
Umā¦he ran twice before and did terribly both times.
As much as Uncle Joe is respected, I think there is that element in the party that sees him as just too old. A lot of young people want faces of leaders that look like theirs. In their mind itās time to pass the baton to a new generation of Democrats. Somehow Bernie got a pass on the age thing but I donāt think others will get that pass. Itās not that they wouldnāt vote for Biden, itās that we need the excitement that young people had for Obama. That is what pushes you over the top.
He is a nice old man though.
In no particular order:
Beto
Kamala
Deval
Cory
Michelle
Um Biden ran twice with Obama. That is recent history, Perhaps you donāt know Biden.
While I donāt mind him in either spot, I hate this idea (that including him), thereās only two or three centrists.
But AP gonna AP
Why for each one?
Nothing in particular, just looking for that Obama āsparkā to get everyone to the polls.
That may take younger candidates.
I would just as soon he decides heās had enough fun. Just not a huge fanāhe has a complacently pompous streak, his reputation for being ārealā seems based more on a lazy carelessness, and for all he talks about his working-class roots heās been living like an aristocrat for many decades. And thereās a lot of oppo stuff they can beat on in his history as well. Sit it out, Joe. Youāve got a good rep now. But if you run and mess up, thatās gone.
Excuse me if Iām missing someone else whoās obvious, but do you mean Michelle Obama? My understanding is thatās the last thing sheād want to do.
I think a male hispanic and Kamala Harris as VP would be a formidable ticket. I donāt think a woman in the top slot is strategically a good idea twice in a row. Harris as VP would set her up nicely for a future run as President. We need a āsweet sixteenā years of Democrats holding the WH to undo all the damage by dump.
Just seeing if people are paying attentionā¦ You wereā¦
She could run for Queen and be elected in a walk, everyone loves her, donāt get me wrong.
If she did run and win, just think how much that would twist Dotardās shorts. And the deplorablesā¦
Pricelessā¦
I think it would be awesome to have a female nominee again.
Aside from the GOP again running a ālady candidateā, Clinton would have gotten over, if it wasnāt for that rascally ātotem poleā (Comey).
