128. She's smart, politically astute and experienced

Apr 2020

She can take on anyone in a debate. She’s a decent administrator and has a full understanding of law. This means she has the legislative experience to help bring the Democratic platform through Congress.

She brings diversity. She’s relatively young. She and Biden would present a united face to the county, her relative seriousness would balance out his “folksy” humor. Black people did not pick her in the primaries, but would not be amiss with her as VP, is my reading at this point. Biden himself is considering her.

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

And your input is not wanted or will be considered. :) LiberalFighter Apr 2020 #13

I'm glad to see that Joe is less provocative than some of his supporters Sucha NastyWoman Apr 2020 #32

The Mere Call, Sir, Would Be Sufficient, In Dealing With A Competent Politician The Magistrate Apr 2020 #44

Biden is moving on regardless of Bernie staying in the race. BlueLucy Apr 2020 #9

Progressives BidenBacker Apr 2020 #35

Facts? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #37

I'm in the middle of dinner while posting BidenBacker Apr 2020 #39

Yet her voting record didn't get her progressive Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #43

Suggesting, Sir, 'Progressives' Will Not Vote For Her Is Not Pointing Out A Fact Either The Magistrate Apr 2020 #41

I'm not suggesting progressives won't vote for her Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #45

And where exactly did I ever say progressives would vote for her? BidenBacker Apr 2020 #46

So then you agree that Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #48

Her support while running for president is irrelevant dansolo Apr 2020 #75

And where is the evidence that they would? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #77

And I Suspect Mr. B. Backer Is Correct, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #52

Do you know how the Electoral College works? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #56

Yes I Do, Sir --- I Can Also Suck Eggs With The Best Of Them The Magistrate Apr 2020 #59

Kaine was a poor choice Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #61

Good Lord, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #64

So I guess you don't have any evidence Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #65

I Have No Interest In What Seems To Fascinate You, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #67

More diversion Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #69

You Seem To View Chanting 'Diversion' As Helpful, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #70

So I guess that's a no. Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #73

Rather, Sir, It Is a 'Know'... The Magistrate Apr 2020 #80

Why not just answer the question Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #82

'Playing Games', Sir, Provides Amusement The Magistrate Apr 2020 #83

The just provide evidence to back up your claims Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #91

You Fail To Amuse, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #93

Just answer the question Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #95

Serious Lack Of Amusement Here, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #100

Not surprised Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #103

Nor Me, Sir --- Just The Same Old Same Old The Magistrate Apr 2020 #106

No it is fun Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #108

You Haven't Enough On The Ball, Dear, To Justify a Double The Magistrate Apr 2020 #112

Just prove your claims Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #115

A Fact From Which You Drew A Predictive Conclusion, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #55

No a fact that I'm asking if there is any evidence Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #57

In All Modesty, Sir, I Like To Think I Am Pretty Good At The English Language The Magistrate Apr 2020 #60

Instead of quibbling over a typo Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #63

As I Said, Sir, If The Incoherence Was A Genuine Error That Is One Thing The Magistrate Apr 2020 #66

So I guess the answer is no Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #74

You Are Going To Need To Provide Some Evidence, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #79

Still trying to divert Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #81

Rather Than Accuse Me Of Trying To Divert, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #84

But you are trying to divert Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #90

I Deny The Allegation And Defy The Allegator, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #94

So you're admitting Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #96

I Am Acknowledging You Cannot Be Taken Seriously, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #101

And more diversion Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #104

It's Not Much Of A Diversion, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #107

Or you couldn't just prove your claims Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #109

You May Be Beginning To Catch On, Dear The Magistrate Apr 2020 #111

Or you could just prove your claims Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #114

But What I Am Doing Is Relaxing After A Nice Dinner And A Movie The Magistrate Apr 2020 #117

But you still can't prove your claims Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #118

There Certainly Is Something So Sad Here, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #119

Yet you still can't prove your claims Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #120

You know I do my homework before I toss out facts and figures BidenBacker Apr 2020 #51

I Trust The Professionals As Well, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #54

I never disagreed about her voting record Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #58

First, Who are these "progressives" ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #85

People who self identify as progressives Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #86

You are being vague. I identify as a progressive. I was very disappointed when she dropped out. ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #87

Because she didn't even last until Iowa Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #88

No, not winning does not mean a "bad' campaign. There are other factors ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #89

Losing is good campaign??? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #92

Like I said. ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #97

Yes. Reality is interesting. Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #98

I'm glad you think so ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #99

Same reason people who did not support Biden treestar Apr 2020 #113

From that argument Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #116

It is said Vote Blue, No Matter Who treestar Apr 2020 #122

Actually the argument that Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #123

No. Biden is old, but not "too old" is a possible position treestar Apr 2020 #124

Any argument Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #125

The Bernie supporters who voted for Hillary treestar Apr 2020 #126

Please don't dishonestly put words in my mouth Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #127

She's smart, politically astute and experienced ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #128

Yes but there are others who could bring diversity Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #129

Now, Say Who, Sir, There's a Good Fellow.... The Magistrate Apr 2020 #130

Sure Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #131

Stacy Abrams is already on the short list ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #133

All come from swing states Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #135

I think you meant "didn't accuse" ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #140

Yes none of them accused Biden of racism Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #141

The Nearest Thing To A Useful Statement You Have Made In Days, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2020 #134

Yet you still can't prove anything that you claimed. Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #136

And You Are Back To Providing Insufficient Entertainment To Engage My Attention, Fella The Magistrate Apr 2020 #138

Nice dodge Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #139

She augments more than brings in, I think ismnotwasm Apr 2020 #132

I don't know who the best choice Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #137

Biden left us a hint. BlueLucy Apr 2020 #36

So? Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #38

Think US world involvement. BlueLucy Apr 2020 #47

Warren is a poor pick as well Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #49

With a Republican Governor choosing the replacement. OnDoutside Apr 2020 #105

Kamala is my first pick. MontanaMama Apr 2020 #27

Always the gentleman. sheshe2 Apr 2020 #16
