After Kamala dropped out, I remained undecided

I am throwing the full weight of my support behind ....


Vice President Biden

I am secretly hoping he will pick Kamala as his running mate. If not, then I think she would make a great AG.

I love his experience both in foreign and domestic affairs. We sorely need someone who can hit the ground running and repair the damage Trump has done both here and abroad.

I love his humility and his ability to talk on someone else’s level.

I love his emotion and his ability to relate to another persons life story or grief over the loss of a loved one.

I believe he has cross over appeal and can pull over some disenchanted Republicans and will have Coat tails to protect the House and flip the Senate.

TRUMP IS AFRAID OF BIDEN

He risked it all just to try and take him down when he found out he was running.

This is not to say I do not like a few others, I do.

GO JO!!!

This is good news for Joe Biden!



Yep, I think Kamala is awesome, and she's pretty much always been my #1 VP pick for Joe Biden. As VP, she would be perfectly positioned for the White House, and she could help deliver both Women and People Of Color to the Democrats. If she doesn't want VP, I hope she gets AG, Secretary of State, or SCOTUS. AG would be a great fit for her with her Calfornia AG experience. Secretary of State would be a great stepping stone to the White House. Finally, Joe Biden just said he wants a Black Woman on the SCOTUS, right? So, that's a total of four solid slots for her--each one of which would be groundbreaking. Let's see history happen!

Again, thanks for going with Team Biden.

I was all in for her until Joe announced. I didn't change my mind about her, but I had always thought it should be Joe next if he wanted to run.

Then, I wanted her for VP. Now I want Amy. Not because Kamala is diminished for me, but because of the politics of who's in and who's out.

I dig Liz, too. I think a woman has to be on our ticket.

But I'd be all in on Klobuchar/Harris.

Team Amy first. I like her knowledge and affection for agricultural policy. However, she has no path to ther nomination and Joe could use the support; i believe he's our best chance to stop a Sanders nomination.

There is nothing I would rather see than Kamala debating Trump, or interrogating him at trial. She would have him sniveling like a baby. She would have been the very best candidate to debate Trump.

I think we are in such dire straits now that we need a President who knows how it's supposed to be done, and I believe former VP Biden knows how it's done.

Thu Feb 27, 2020, 12:04 AM
Feb 2020

I think Biden is the "safe bet," in the 2020 election. The politics of the U.S. has slid so far to the right that the Moderate Democrats like Biden have become the new republicans. If Biden got the nomination a lot of old school republicans would vote for him. In fact, if he doesn't get the Democratic nomination he should switch parties and run against Trump as a write-in.

I think about how Eisenhower would be considered a bleeding heart liberal nowadays, he could have never been a republican in 2020.

If Biden does get the nomination you will lose 50 percent of Sanders voters...can you make up that voter deficit with republicans jumping the aisle?

I don't understand why these candidates don't team up and secure the election. I've been calling for a Warren/Sanders or vis-a-versa. Biden and Sanders or Biden and Warren, need to bury the hatchet for the good of the country and become a team. They don't have to get along...their job is to fix the country....period.

I bought a Biden doll (hey, no judgement, I'm a lifetime Delawarean). I also saw Kamala Harris dolls and suggested they should display them together since that has been my, and many others, dream ticket - at least 4 yrs of Biden and 8 yrs of Kamala should help set us straight again.....AND they cover both coasts!
