No Excuses Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 It should be Mayor Bottoms. She’s a damn good mayor, has a good working relationship with her community and police department, oversees a city undergoing rapid growth and she will garner additional votes for a swing state.

Rufus T Firefly Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I mean, during a pandemic, a depression and civil turmoil, what could possibly be a better idea than to nominate someone to be a 78 year old's heartbeat away from the Presidency whose descriptor is "ludicrously unqualified, but loyal"?

She's not ready yet, Bowser could be that territory soon if she keeps that up. but Mayor Pete just get rejected and might not of been if he wasn't so green, no candidate is perfect, not all of them ready for nuclear launch codes handed to them of nowhere.

TheDoyler23 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I just hope Biden's running mate isn't someone who is excruciatingly boring. Remember Tim Kaine? His roll out was like, "I speak Spanish!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt bad in that VP debate, you could tell he was told to run Pence over, he was a really good governor here in VA, had no problems with him. I didn't recognize him.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 They are making this a lot harder than it needs to be. Pick Warren and get started on putting out policy/platform ideas so you can get ahead of Trump trying to frame your positions for months. I hate that it's going to be august before he decides.

Its not an easy decision with the current climate. Polling shows (the last one i saw anyway) that Warren is the preferred candidate even among minority voters. If you campaign is built on saving the country and pushing us forward, which Biden's is, Warren makes the most sense, in addition to a lot of other reasons that make her the best option. I sincerely hope the idea isn't to just hand the car keys to the VP at 4 years. That is bad idea now and a bad idea for 2024. Give us two mature, responsible, respectable and incredibly experienced people on the ticket in Biden and Warren. Sell it as "America's parents" or some **** that are looking out for us and putting the pieces back together while charting a new path forward. I think it would go over well.

Multiple polls show that. Which is what is so condescending about just forcing an unqualified black woman out there over a candidate with real solutions and whom the black voters prefer and acting like it's doing them a favor. 2 minutes ago, Momma There Goes That Man said: I sincerely hope the idea isn't to just hand the car keys to the VP at 4 years. That is bad idea now and a bad idea for 2024. There's no reason we HAVE to go with whomever Biden picks as VP as automatically the candidate in 2024. However, him handing it off in 4 years is, imo, easily the best strategy to hold the White House for 12 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus T Firefly Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 The Lincoln Project is, of course, anti-Trump Republicans. So to see them attacking Trump is standard. Even to have them pump up Biden, whom they're trying to help defeat him, isn't at all surprising. However, to have a GOP group using this kind of language about Obama's performance is somewhat shocking, and refreshingly honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree here, just hoping a new generation can cut their teeth in this admin and we aren't trying to pencil in the next 12 years with Biden -4 and VP - 8. It's a foolish way to run a 2020 compaign with this much importance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not entirely sure what "ready" means for a VP. I don't think it's a position that should go exclusively to Senators or Governors. Mayors of major metro regions in America are a lot more qualified than most governors or senators when it comes to policy execution and community outreach. She's proven to be a really good mayor and she will have a credibility on an issue that is deeply hurting the social fabric of this country.

JSSkinz Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 The Lincoln Project has basically taken off the gloves. Rick Wilson has been telling Trumpers to **** off as if he's getting a commission for it each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so true. I remember when Sarah Palin was getting the big push as the Gov of Alaska. Like, County Executives in the DMV have a greater responsibility than the Gov of Alaska...

I will be extremely disappointed if Biden doesn't have the most diverse cabinet in history with a lot of gen X and a couple millennials. I expect at least 2 supreme court picks being a younger black woman and a younger Asian person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 F the polling. From now until election day, Biden, the Dems, DNC, Lincoln project, Pro-Dem PACs, etc need to act like they are playing from behind. ESPECIALLY for those senate seasons in Arizona, Maine, Colorado and North Carolina. Then you go heavier in Kentucky, SC and Bama because "who knows what things will look like in a few months?".

I mean, being a heartbeat away from becoming the leader of the free world, you know, demonstrating any aptitude for dealing with World issues or how to run the World's largest economy, might be a decent idea, for starters?
