    She’ll also be 71 in a couple of weeks, and I don’t think having an old white couple standing on the stage at the convention is the image they want to project.

    That is a good point. If you want to alienate younger voters, put up a Darby and Joan Club.

    agree 100%.

    but some would argue that the analytics show she'll bring in more votes in swing states for the ticket than anyone else.

    Aye, but any criticism of Trump that gets publicity (especially in an election year) is good publicity as far as I'm concerned.

    Warren or Harris would be big mistakes. Abrams or Bottoms would be much better choices. If Biden hadn't already committed to a Woman, Andrew Gillum would have been a good choice too.

    If I understand you correctly, do you then think it possible, that Trump has had second thoughts over his bonespurs ?

    Actually the question was for Klondick. I already knew the answer with you. Your bullshit flows to effortlessly for it to be contrived.

    Agree. Best pick would be Tulsi Gabbard for several reasons. Young almost black female hottie, a Bernie supporter, and veteran. Problem she has is many powerful (Clintons) Dems don't like her.

    Not going to happen cuz Biden won't go against the DEM powers. Shame really. Tulsi would make a great running mate.

    Oddly enough Trump picked someone who would have invigorated the religious right . . . turns out he didn't need to as they followed him anyway, so whether Biden picks Gabbard or Harris or Warren I find of little relevance.

    I can't imagine any 'undecideds' out there who still don't know whether to back Trump or not as that is what it boils down to, not policy as Trump has destroyed all policy

    Yes she would, and she's also the reason Harris would be a poor choice. Harris fell apart from just one little bite from Tulsi. Tulsi stood her ground until the end against the endless barage from the DNC elite.

    It's more about the people thinking about not voting, than the undecided.

    Indeed.
    Tulsi would be a popular choice, yet as you've mentioned she rubs the Democratic establishment the wrong way.

    And yes - it is a shame.

    As there's far from anything progressive from the choices - including the Democratic nominee [whose an old dyed-in-the-wool warhorse club member], the pick will be more relevant to political manipulation and satisfying the status quo of the less than Liberal/Progressive Democratic Party stance.


    ....there's always Bernie.
    That would go over well, wouldn't it.

    True. I guess, in my mind, not voting would be a grave error now more than ever before. Nothing wrong with conservative economic politics and policies, but this clown in office has changed the game.
    You'd think that even the 'undecided' voters would get off their arses and vote as no one has been left unaffected by these last four years

    There is plenty wrong with conservative economic politics and policies.

    They're a bunch of fucking crooks. That's why they always deregulate.

    Conservative not in the US context, rather fiscal conservative thought.

    Social conservatism as a direction doesn't have to be in the US mould either where the right wing parties are very right wing and the 'left' wing are right wing as well.

    I'm on the left in both aspects but there has to be a balance, in the vein of the immortal words of Don Chipp, (the former leader of the Democrats in Oz) "keep the bastards honest"

    the content of that quote is little more than sophomoric rhetoric gleaned from a bumper sticker.

    you really are a complete ignoramus, aren't you?

    In March 2020 the Tallahassee Democrat reported that Gillum was one of three men, one of whom was suffering from a drug overdose, who were found with "plastic baggies of suspected crystal meth" in a hotel room in Miami Beach, however no arrests were made. The person who overdosed has been reported by numerous outlets as a gay male escort.[78][79] Initially, Gillum was too inebriated to speak with the officers.[80] On March 16, Gillum stated that he would enter rehabilitation, citing struggles with alcohol after narrowly losing the 2018 Florida gubernatorial race.[81]
    yeah, hell of a choice.

    Well that's news to me. I retract my statement. I guess things that happened at the start of the pandemic got buried pretty quick in the news cycle.

    If you read the following posts you can see why I think Harris would be a mistake.

    As for Warren, well....."Pocahontas".

    well, don't stop now that you've actually learned something.

    go take a look at the past of the other person you think should be VP. try to determine why there was a "barrage from the DNC elite".

    hint....it may have had something to do with her going on fox news countless times to attack the obama administration over a pointless issue that fired up the republican base.
