Correction, the best of the very best Joe had to choose from.

Edit: they were ALL great.

That was an interesting comment. Who would you have included who was not there?

Poorly worded on my part. I was trying to praise all of the worthy VP candidates. I’ll add an edit.

“Let’s recognize her not only as the first woman of color to be vice president, but the best possible person he could have chosen…”

Watching her slap down Barr’s felonious flabby ass in that Senate hearing, could there be any doubt?!

“I don’t quite get the choice,” Trump told Hannity late Tuesday. “But we will have it out here we have a great vice president named Mike Pence and he will take care of business just like he did the last time against a different candidate.”

“At this moment, I don’t totally remember who we ran against last time”

I liked her already beforehand, but watching her make LowBarr squirm was just the icing on the cake.

Can’t wait until she has a chance to steamroll QTip — although I am still wagering that there will be no VP debate at all…

You Betcha

Just like what happened to Rich Lowry: It “Sent Little Starbursts Through The Screen”

Pence will engage in the debate using the classic “I Talk to Jesus“ opening gambit.

The God-bothering will be tremendous.

Barr snapped with a “Lemme answer the damn question!!” at his House Hearing a while ago, to the young Congressman.

He would have gotten nowhere fast with Harris.

Nancy has the look of someone who knows she’s going to get 20 more House seats based on coattails alone.

He got nowhere fast with the young congressman, Joe Neguse of CO. He had Barr on the verge of perjury and Barr wanted to clean up the record with a more nuanced answer. The whole interview was worthy of Kamala and made me think that Neguse has a great future.

It definitely feels like a new day. And we needed a new day. And more new days.

Joe Neguse is a rising star.

He’s really smart and doesn’t suffer fools gladly.

I’ve already told the competitor to Duffy’s replacement that she needs to be on those coattails in November. There’s a lot of work to be done. Partisan primary in Wisconsin yesterday, the GOP guy (already in office) had 8K votes to her Dem votes of 6K.

I will say there wasn’t a lot of buzz for this election, but it’s overwhelmingly GOP out here (it’s how Sean Duffy was a multi-term Rep and did absolutely nothing in his entire tenure). She has a lot of work to do to get the message out there.

The GOP guy, to his ‘credit’, is already calling for a recall effort against the Governor - started that crap not two months after he won in special election to replace Duffy. The guy is an idiot. Has also voted several times already against the best interests of his constituents (I’ve turned her on to Countable app so she can start hammering him on his voting record).

The spectacle of Trump calling anyone “disrespectful” is a wonder to behold.

While Biden displayed his good executive judgement in picking Harris…
Lets give kudos to Sen. Klobuchar for suggesting early on to Biden
That the VP should be a woman of color!
