wow, Booker just said 100% he turns down VP slot if top is a male, it needs to be a woman

[Celerity]

[BeyondGeography]

1. Ok, Warren/Booker then

[MoonchildCA]

2. Funny. I felt like she was sizing him up...

... for that position towards the beginning of the debate.

[ecstatic]

6. Interesting. And he did refrain from attacking Warren's position on breaking up

the big companies.

[Dream Girl]

3. That could work

[Demsrule86]

23. Right...a Massachussetts / Jersey ticket...oh yeah, the rust belt will just fall into our hands...

[samnsara]

24. there goes my dream ticket of biden/warren....

[Merlot]

26. That was never going to happen

[LakeArenal]

28. Neither would Booker be a choice.

Two Al Franken railroaders. Nope

[BeyondGeography]

32. Except Warren's an Okie

They'll go your route in terms of typecasting but as soon as she opens her mouth that image falls apart for anyone with half an open mind and a pair of ears, aka persuadable voters.

[LonePirate]

4. That is the correct answer. We need at least one woman on the ticket.

However, I would prefer Booker on the ticket as VP instead of a white male if the top of the ticket is occupied by a white male. There is no way in hell our ticket should be comprised of two white men.

[Claritie Pixie]

5. I like that. Good for him.

[crazytown]

7. if Biden wins it's either VP Harris or VP Klobucher

Warren would go back to the Senate.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. Why does Biden have to pick a female? Or are you

Saying those two are the best VP choices?

[crazytown]

11. Actually I am

these are the two best choices for Biden.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

31. Harris, Warren, Abrams would solidify the ticket....

and make this an election historic in ways Trump will not be able to grasp.

Women make up 53% of the total Electorate. Women are most affected by laws restricting them in so many ways. The message has to be if the running mate is a woman, that women must continue to fight for …..Equal Pay, Reproductive Choices, a voice on the Job, Paid Maternity Leave, Voting Rights, secured SS and Medicare(women live longer than men), Job Pension protections, Child care, and so much more.


Women who continue to VOTE for Republicans continue to vote AGAINST their better Social and Economic interests. It is that simple.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

33. Only really see Warren as qualified. Not sure about

her foreign affairs experience tho. But if it is Biden who wins, the VP has to be a complete package because if his age. Just looking for optimum. Although Warren is 100% ok with me personally...think she might be "too much" for the entire population? I sure do wish she would mix in a couple 5 minute periods when she acts with calm demeanor.

Trust me, I am purely looking at this with a "who is the most perfect team". Specific policies not a factor

[Celerity]

12. or VP Abrams

here are the names of the 2 Biden advisors who were floating the ideas of both (1) naming a VP early (2) running as a 1 term candidate.


https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/21/us/politics/joe-biden-2020-election.html

Senators Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren, Mr. Biden has not spent years building a muscular digital operation aimed at stimulating online supporters to give money. So his team is mulling a host of unconventional steps, including several related to fund-raising, transparency and the mechanics of a campaign.

But none would carry the impact of naming a running mate early or vowing to serve just one term.

Two of Mr. Biden’s closest advisers, Steve Ricchetti and Mike Donilon, have floated both possibilities in recent weeks. And they have been egged on by some Democratic lawmakers, who have urged the Biden associates to strongly consider the one-term pledge to immediately defuse the question about his age.

Abrams was the main name that came up

and if you read her response closely

she said it was not THE CORE issue, which doesn't mean it was not talked about at all


https://www.cbsnews.com/news/stacey-abrams-says-shes-just-as-capable-to-become-president-as-anyone-running-in-2020-race/

Abrams told "CBS This Morning" that she's been holding meetings with nearly everyone running in 2020, including former Vice President Joe Biden. She attempted to shoot down speculation of a possible joint ticket with Biden in the 2020 race.

"We talked about a lot of things but that was not the core issue," Abrams said when asked about filling a potential VP slot.

there is a video at the link

that quote section comes from the 2:40 mark onward




I think (especially as she has, grrrrrr, turned down running for Senate against that fucker Perdue) she is deffo in the mix, and would really help make GA, NC, FL competitive as hell

then again, she said IF she decided to run for POTUS she could wait until Labour Day to jump in (I disagree there probably)

[crazytown]

13. Yes. Stacey would be fabulous,

she would do some real damage to the GOP out on the trial, but a senate run is going begging.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. I'm in the winning most important thing.group. A woman

Would hurt any chance we had of turning TX blue. Need Texas as backup when TRussia steals PA WI and or MI again.

[crazytown]

19. Biden can win TX all by himself

I'm all for putting a big GOTV effort in Texas, but every poll I've seen has Joe doing better than anyone else against Con Don in TX.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. It would be wonderful if that TX match up lead held up with a female as VP. there are

rumors that Trump will dump Pence and run with Nikki Haley. Also something WEIRD going on at Drudge. They had a poll going last night and Tulsi won by a mile. They are also saying her name was the most googled last night. Drudge polls were rigged during the repuke primary in 2016 so you never know. But, if honest, why would everyone be picking her out in the repuke class?

[crazytown]

21. I really don't know.

Tulsi was Steve Bannon's favorite Democrat, and was even vetted for the Con cabinet.

Beyond that, she distinguished herself on a foreign policy / anti-war question, a hot button issue for some. Finally, Tulsi is RT's favored Democrat, more so than Sanders. I'm just guessing.

[samnsara]

25. i would take either of those as veep but i like AG Harris better...

[underpants]

27. I agree

That would be a great ticket

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. Good. But he can say that since no one would pick a NJ oerson

[crazytown]

15. Oh vey

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. Love NJ ! Just saying it's a Dem state

[OhZone]

34. Heyyyyyy

I'm a Jersey Girl -

Buuuuut, yeah, no need for a Jersey candidate.

I like Biden/Harris.

[redstateblues]

10. He'd turn it down? Gimme a break

[crazytown]

14. Well if he repeats it often enough

he would have to.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. Roflmao

[Demsrule86]

22. Good to know...saves time and trouble...Biden can bypass him...hehe

[CanonRay]

29. Good for him.

Holy shit, an honorable man.

[DrToast]

30. If Booker is saying he shouldn't be VP

Then why is he running for President instead?

[FloridaBlues]

35. Don't think he will have to worry about it.
