She isn’t going to appeal to moderate suburban women in the Midwest. That’s who we need to win.

She would be best suited to be AG and prosecuting the Trump crime family.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I was leaning towards Amy before she dropprd out. bluescribbler Mar 2020 #1

We do not need two moderates on the ticket, especially two white moderates. LonePirate Mar 2020 #2

That is not what he wants. squirecam Mar 2020 #4

Evidently what he wants and what the party needs are two different things. LonePirate Mar 2020 #6

The party will vote for Joe. squirecam Mar 2020 #7

We won twice with two moderates on the ticket treestar Mar 2020 #10

The more moderates IluvPitties Mar 2020 #50

I like her a lot but not on a ticket with Joe. He needs a woman of color, IMHO. pnwmom Mar 2020 #3

You pick the best person for the job. squirecam Mar 2020 #5

And there's no black females suitable for the job? Turin_C3PO Mar 2020 #8

Don't put words into my mouth. squirecam Mar 2020 #9

Harris is an excellent choice who-- on a ticket with Joe-- would excite voters all over the country. pnwmom Mar 2020 #13

I disagree squirecam Mar 2020 #15

I know LOTS of moderate suburban women in the midwest, pnwmom Mar 2020 #29

I agree that we need more ethnic diversity on our presidential/vice-presidential tickets. StevieM Mar 2020 #81

Wrong. People of color are the backbone of our party and need to see themselves pnwmom Mar 2020 #11

Joe will have a diverse administration. squirecam Mar 2020 #12

Not the same. nt pnwmom Mar 2020 #14

Luckily you will vote for him anyway. squirecam Mar 2020 #16

Joe already has their votes. Mme. Defarge Mar 2020 #22

Enthusiasm matters. If he wants numbers of black voters like Obama had, pnwmom Mar 2020 #28

They want trump gone. squirecam Mar 2020 #31

Moderate suburban women HATE Trump. They'll turn out. n/t pnwmom Mar 2020 #38

Not as much as AA voters do. squirecam Mar 2020 #39

Moderate suburban women love Biden. We don't need the female version of Biden pnwmom Mar 2020 #41

It is absurd to suggest that women love Biden more than AA voters. squirecam Mar 2020 #48

Moderate suburban women are the ones I'm referring to -- not all women. Most of the women pnwmom Mar 2020 #60

Why is choosing the best person not enough for you? squirecam Mar 2020 #61

Because I don't think being from Minnesota makes her the best person nt pnwmom Mar 2020 #62

That is one thing. squirecam Mar 2020 #63

It should be a woman of color and there are a number of them who are very qualified pnwmom Mar 2020 #64

I believe Klobuchar is the most qualified. I hate that the pundits are DEMANDING... Kahuna7 Mar 2020 #17

A woman VP of any color is historic. squirecam Mar 2020 #18

Indeed. nt Kahuna7 Mar 2020 #19

I'd go with that. Kingofalldems Mar 2020 #20

Swing voters do not like aggressive women who point fingers while debating Awsi Dooger Mar 2020 #21

All of this. squirecam Mar 2020 #23

Biden is already appealing to moderate women Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #26

Biden already brings the AA vote. squirecam Mar 2020 #32

So did Clinton but not in the numbers needed Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #68

But he hasn't announced a VP choice. If he chooses someone spooky3 Mar 2020 #34

Experience doesn't matter in electoral politics. Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #42

That's why I would argue that relevant political experience spooky3 Mar 2020 #75

Experience is irrelevant Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #77

Sherrod Brown squirecam Mar 2020 #74

Of course... Sugarcoated Mar 2020 #84

1) Biden already has the AA vote, and Mme. Defarge Mar 2020 #24

While you make some good points Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #33

Look at her chart. squirecam Mar 2020 #36

Yes and there is already a moderate/centerist on the ticket Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #40

Yes squirecam Mar 2020 #43

No she doesn't Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #44

Biden has given his requirements. squirecam Mar 2020 #30

Minnesota is not a swing state Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #37

They are already energized. squirecam Mar 2020 #46

Or, why should women be ruled out on the basis of skin color? Nt spooky3 Mar 2020 #52

Not ruling any woman out based on skin color. squirecam Mar 2020 #54

No, I know you aren't; the poster to whom you replied spooky3 Mar 2020 #58

Right. Apologies. squirecam Mar 2020 #59

You don't have to. squirecam Mar 2020 #55

Of course I will, but Harris a much better pick! nt USALiberal Mar 2020 #56

She is much better for AG. squirecam Mar 2020 #57

so harris can do the work DonCoquixote Mar 2020 #80

Harris is better as AG squirecam Mar 2020 #83

by telling the black women who vote for us DonCoquixote Mar 2020 #85

Neither do I. StevieM Mar 2020 #82
