Springfield Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 21 minutes ago, TheGreatBuzz said: Wife and I are hoping for a Joe/Pete ticket. Doubt it will happen but we can wish. I'd like that, cause I really like Pete. Hell, he could "cut his teeth" as so many want, as the VP. But I think it's more suitable that he pick a minority/female running mate. Kamala Harris (not my fave) or Elizabeth Warren... or even Stacy Abrams. I guess you could call a gay guy minority, but black people don't really see gay as equal to minority though.

skinsmarydu Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 It's only when someone brings up Pete's sexuality that I even remember he's gay. I think either he or Liz would be excellent choices for VP. Stacey wants to govern GA, we need her too badly here if we're ever gonna flip. I'm okay with Joe. Not enthusiastic, but okay.

tshile Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I find the entire state of the primary at this point interesting listening to various factions of the dem party talk this morning provides lots of political humor. It’s interesting how advocates for minority groups talk and what they get away with and what just has to be accepted/allowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 As far as selecting a Veep based on the Veep's demographics, (a practice I loathe. Thought we were supposed to race and everything-neutral, here. How much more blatant than "He needs a female Hspanic Veep from the central time zone" can we get?), an observation I read: When Donald Trump took the oath of office, he was the oldest person in US history to ever do so. If Liz, Bernie, or Joe win the White House, every one of them will break Trump's record. Pete does not. And I really like the mental image of him as the backup QB, getting groomed to step in.

tshile Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 @Springfield all he’s ever run are failed campaigns and this current campaign, which best i can tell is founded on “black people like me because I was Obama’s vp” and if I recall his claim to fame as vp was as that guy that is best off keeping his mouth shut and being the guy we brought in to fill the foreign policy resume gap behind the scenes he’s pretty much got a losers track record at this level.

Now, pleasant mental fantasies aside, I also have to observe that we don't exactly have a stelar national record of veeps getting elected to replace their former boss. Bush 1 did it, after Reagan, but who was the one before that? Was there one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, he was the guy who changed Obama’s mind on gay marriage if I recall correctly. He’s got a pretty distinguished career in the senate as being a hard working Everyman as well. I respect that. At this point, if you don’t want Trump and you don’t want Sanders then it seems like Biden is the only other option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Biden and Bernie both approaching 80, my hope is VP is qualified to take over the second they have to. That's a million times more important then where they are from or what they look like. This is why I hope they both pick Warren, Pete is good, but hes not ready yet.

88Comrade2000 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Both Bernie and Joe are likely to die in their first term. Pete as veep would not win the nomination in 2024. He would lose to a young progressive like AOC. Joe is so mentally out of it; his veep will have to use the 25th admendment and remove Joe early in his first term. Like maybe in the first month.

People don't seem to be willing to use the 25th amendment when they should. Also, Biden being a bit forgetful is preferable to a full on nut.

The Evil Genius Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Am I missing the underlying health concerns for Biden? I get it for Bernie..heart attack recently and his unwillingness to release medical records as promised post heart attack..but are people basing the Biden thing on his age? https://www.politico.com/news/2019/12/17/biden-health-2020-086582 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
