1. Good!

[H2O Man]

2. VP or AG

Recommened.

[onetexan]

24. Im game - either suits me fine

Though i do think Preet Bharara would also make a great USAG if Kamala is veep.

[Iliyah]

3. DOJ . . . .

Barr seriously needs to go away . .

[Hekate]

42. Barr "goes away" the moment a new POTUS is sworn in. Sooner if Trumpie has a tantrum.

[jaysunb]

4. I don't want to see her anywhere but AG. Perfect fit for where we'll be next year. n/t

[getagrip_already]

7. we have lots of good choices for an ag....

but the vp is going to make the ticket. If the ticket isn't solid, the ag is only a pipe dream.

Heck, Hillary would be a good AG.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

26. No, not Hillary... Bernie should save Hillary for appointment to the Supreme Court!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

[evertonfc]

27. need very young

justices from the can serve 40 years

[Mike Nelson]

54. Honestly, I think...

... Hillary would say, "Pick someone younger."

[demtenjeep]

5. AG

I want Mayor Pete for VP


if not Stacy Abrams

[TreasonousBastard]

6. Veep is a dead end job. AG can actually get stuff done.

[getagrip_already]

8. you have to win the election to appoint an ag.....

Besides, the top 3 candidates are in their 70's. One had a heart attack very recently.

This VP may not be a dead end position. No pun intended, ex-vp's make good candidates as a rule. Hopefully pence is an exception to that rule.

[PatSeg]

17. I don't think the VP is necessarily a dead end job

It depends on the administration. Biden accepted the position on the condition that he would be "in the room" and involved in decision making. I have a feeling that he would treat his VP with the same respect that Obama did.

That said though, she would be an extraordinary AG. Its like she was born for the job! And there will be a lot of cleaning up to do after Trump leaves office.

[CaptYossarian]

25. During the Reagan/Bush/Quayle 12-year eternity, there were a lot of

Russian funerals for the VP to attend.

I guess it is a dead-end job.

[MrsCoffee]

47. Veep can lead to POTUS.

14 Veeps have become POTUS.

[Sloumeau]

9. I'd prefer her as VP but...

Stacey Abrams or Val Demings for VP and Kamala as AG is doable.

[underpants]

33. One of them NEEDS to be on the ticket

Absolutely necessary

[peggysue2]

10. Harris would make a helluva Attorney General

But if she wanted the VP slot and Biden gave the nod? I'd be a happy camper! What a team!

[Autumn]

11. What if she and Stacy Abrams want the same job? He was considering her just a while back.

Decisions decisions.

[PatSeg]

18. There are so many good choices

It must be hard to choose. Somehow I have the feeling that in his mind, he already has it down to two or three and I'm sure Stacy Abrams is on that list.

[Thekaspervote]

12. Wow!! She's dynamite...happy to hear this

[Tom Rinaldo]

13. A wise move

I would hope (and expect) that other candidates hold her in similar regard

[Hortensis]

14. I'm sure.

Her term ends in January 2023, though, so her options include serving as U.S. senator. That seems to be overly discounted -- if we get control of the senate that'll be a whole different situation, full of magnificent opportunities with the power McConnell's caucus controls now. And with one hell of a lot of hugely important work to do repairing, rebuilding, and advancing our government and nation.

[NBachers]

35. I agree- I'm sure California would elect a worthy Democrat in her place; but keeping Kamala in the

Senate is also worth considering.

That said, I'd love to see her back on the campaign trail as Biden's VP choice.

[Hortensis]

38. I'd like that also, but above all I would want Biden to have the

friend and assistant president that he would want, someone who could be to him what he was to Obama. In 2015, he wanted Elizabeth Warren. And reportedly at that time, as he considered whether to run after his son died, she was his only choice, to the point that they met to discuss it.

Of course, who knows? A man who looks ahead like that may have met some time ago with someone else, maybe Senator Harris or someone he feels very good about but we've scarcely heard of.

[Hortensis]

46. Yes. It would. The AG is probably the most powerful position

after, or alongside, State and Defense, and the AG of course needs to be more independent.

The image of easygoing Joe with also some very dynamic, turn-this-country-around women in cabinet positions, continually hitting him up for the power to do more, is an amusing but good one. Let's throw Hillary in for whichever position she feels she can make the biggest difference and do the most good through. A team with even one Frances Perkins could be awesome, but more would be better with all this talent and enormous work to do.

[mcar]

15. A very smart move

That would put me, for one, squarely behind Biden.

[Fresh_Start]

16. Biden is trying to seduce me. Kamala was my first choice

and seeing him recognize her makes me warm and fuzzy toward Biden.

[MoonRiver]

48. Same here. I am ambivalent about Biden, but this helped my feelings toward him.

[totodeinhere]

19. Good. But I susepct that at this point Joe would say that about a lot of qualified

Democrats including women and people of color. Would you expect him to say he wouldn't consider her for anything and alienate her supporters?

[tritsofme]

20. I imagine anything but VP would be a tough choice for her.

Do you give up a California Senate seat for 2-4 years as AG or another high profile cabinet spot?

[Perseus]

21. Not trying to make mountains out of moguls but...couldn't he had put it differently?

If in fact, he is being quoted verbatim?

Something like "I would consider Harris for any political position in my administration that she requests.", or "Harris is well qualified to fulfill any position in the new administration, and I will definitely consider her."

But, he'd consider Kamala Harris "for anything she wants"??? I know a lot of people will have a field day with that, I can see comedians salivating about it already.

Our beloved Joe does have a way with words.

[BigmanPigman]

22. Good, I have wanted a Biden/Harris ticket for almost two years.

[NYMinute]

23. Biden, like Obama is astute in picking talent

On the opposite and losing end, we have a campaign that has hired Jill Stein voters to top positions.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

29. Couldnt just compliment Joe and leave it at that?Was the divisive attack on Bernie really necessary?

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

[Kurt V.]

31. of course it was. :(

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

32. Sad but true!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

[NYMinute]

50. Was any of it untrue?

Like they say ... "if the shoe fits ...."

[The Valley Below]

55. You don't think having David Sirota, Tina Turner, and Briahna Joy Gray

heading up Sanders' staff isn't divisive? Stein voters!

Come on man. The contrasts are stark.

[tavernier]

28. I saw that as his choice.

The ticket I would be proud of either way.

[CatMor]

30. I would love to see her as his choice for VP..

[Red Mountain]

34. I like her for VP

4 or 8 years and she'd be a rock-solid Presidential contender.

Democrats do diversity well. It's our strength.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. And you are still undecided?

[StarfishSaver]

37. Yes, I am. Why do you ask?

And why do you care?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

39. Because you act like you are the authority for all things Democrat.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

40. Someone who speaks out so strongly for a minority

candidate not being there anymore- yet you never stood up and declared for them here.

[Hekate]

41. Good to know!

[Gothmog]

49. I would love to see a Biden/Harris ticket

[janterry]

51. That would be awful

Progressive ideas need to be at the top of the ticket

[TruckFump]

52. AG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's prosecute!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mike Nelson]

53. Sounds good...

... I know the VP position is considered higher, but I'd want her for AG. You put the best people in their best positions... she would be one of the best AGs ever...

[PunkinPi]

56. This is why I'm now supporting Biden in the primary.

Kamala was my choice for POTUS since her announcement last January. It took me a while to move to Biden, but having her on the ticket would be a winning combination, imo.

[Renew Deal]

57. AG makes more sense

I have doubts about her political skills and she doesn’t help with any states.

[iwannaknow]

58. He has to win first.
