It's looking like a Biden-Harris ticket to me

[DemocratSinceBirth]

[BootinUp]

1. Sounds potent. Nt

[Glorfindel]

4. And, I just noticed, bi-coastal. Potent, indeed.

n/t

[Glorfindel]

2. Two excellent Democrats and human beings. I could definitely support that ticket!

Or actually any other that would rid us of tRump.

[LongtimeAZDem]

3. That's how I felt until she threw him under the "uncomfortable" bus. Now I'm OK with him

finding someone else if he wants.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. She welcomed him into the race.

[LongtimeAZDem]

7. Which doen't impress me near as much as her hanging him out to dry when attacked

[Cha]

11. Yes, she did.. it was quite graceful..

It's so early yet.. but right now..


crazytown

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. A certain someone immediately attacked him.

[George II]

15. Yes, in a fundraising email.

[Cha]

20. I think it's a badge of honor when

BS calls Democratic Leaders "establishment". They're some of my favorite people

Link to tweet

I am soooo Grateful VP Biden entered the race!

[SunSeeker]

23. He shouldn't have tweeted that after signing Indivisible's Unity pledge.

[Cha]

25. BS needed to be the "first

one" to sign it.

I have complete confidence in most of our other candidates.

And, yeah.. he's still being divisive.. and when he loses he's going to have to go around undoing all his primary "establishment" repetitive drilling. The "us Vs Dems" meme.

[trueblue2007]

31. HE signed it but i have a feeling he doesn't believe a word of the pledge.

[JonLP24]

34. He didn't run last time and historically has endorsed Democrats for President

It just seems really unfair to me considering he endorsed Hillary Clinton.

[comradebillyboy]

43. Bernie vs Democratic Establishment? I'll pick the establishment

every time. The "Democratic Establishment" has delivered everything that counts as progress in America for the last 60 years. Tilting at windmills is a luxury we can't afford right now.

[Cha]

44. Democratic "Establishment"

BlueWave, baby!



And, all that beautiful progress you mentioned, comradebillyboy!

[Little Star]

56. Yep!!!

[Skya Rhen]

16. I'm with you... and I'm a black woman...

[samnsara]

6. that has always been my dream ticket!! but if its Biden/Warren Im liking that too!

[flamingdem]

40. Those two are at odds over banking issues

from the past. Sadly because that would be my dream ticket

[Hortensis]

48. They're both Democrats, both with the same

belief in government of by and for the people AND for banking regulation, which means they start at 90% of the way to agreement.

Above all they’re both adults, competent legislators who both understand their job is — literally — to reach agreement to make things happen, not to serve enemies of regulation by refusing to.

But agree VP’s a special position, and I have no idea if she’d fit the role special partner Biden wanted or vice versa. She and Hillary negotiated and both seemed to think it would work. They’re both Northeast and white, tho. OTOH, She is a strong leftist advocate and would at least fill that demand very well.

13. Brawawaaa.. I just posted that upthread..

50. Aloha

[MontanaFarmer]

9. Would be a wonderful ticket

and would/could set her up well for the presidency in either 4 or 8 years, depending on Joe's desire to run again. This ticket plays well in the rust belt, the sun belt, and obviously both coasts. If that's how it ends up, it'd be great!

[C_U_L8R]

10. Trump stompers.

[hlthe2b]

12. I could back that...

Cute pic

[pangaia]

17. Hey, Joe, don;t get to close.. :))))))

Great pic !!

[Gothmog]

18. I like this ticket

[BigmanPigman]

21. I made this suggestion last Sept to my very Dem family

and all 3 generations gave it thought and then they all approved. If it works for my diverse family it may have real possibilities.

*I also said tRump would win from the minute I saw him on that ridiculous golden escalator.

[calguy]

22. While I like Harris a lot

I think Klobachar is the better fit. She's more experienced and comes from a midwestern state area where we can use he!p. California is already in the bag no matter who we run. Just my opinion and I'd be fine with Harris if it works out that way.

[SunSeeker]

24. We can't afford to lose Klobachar. Harris would without a doubt be replaced by a Dem

Not sure who might end up replacing Klobachar.

[calguy]

26. That's a fair point and one I hadn't considered.

But it is still early and speculation at this stage of the game is relatively harmless.

[Skya Rhen]

28. I agree. Klobachar can help with Minnesota. We already have California. We need to win.

[SunSeeker]

45. Klobachar helps with the same constituency who already prefers Biden.

Kamala would help Joe fire up the base: black women. Black women won the presidency for Obama, knocking on doors and organizing Souls to the Polls.

[flying-skeleton]

27. That'd be an awesome ticket.

[LakeArenal]

29. Harris isn't right for me.

Someone just texted me, I wish America was mature enough for Pete.

I stole that. But I totally agree.

[TeamPooka]

37. we can't just pretend that mayors have the same level of executive experience as governors

You also need to show the party's voters you can win a larger area than your town or House district before you try for the White House.

[LakeArenal]

38. I am not get into any debate

I like Pete. If we want to elect someone else whose time might be now Pete fills the bill for me. Harris doesn’t. For me.

[murielm99]

51. I can think of a number of ways

to argue that Pete would be better. We ignore him and his talents to our peril.

Usually, I see one thing on DU and another IRL. Not this time. Pete is extremely popular IRL. Is that only because I live in the Midwest?

I'm not sold on Harris, either. Let's see what happens.

[leftofcool]

30. Not crazy about that ticket

[JonLP24]

32. I'd rather have Harris at the top of the ticket

I know Joe doesn't want to be VP again.

[JI7]

33. if Biden wins the nomination

[TeamPooka]

36. that would defeat Trump, IMHO

[crazytown]

39. Stoned on a post announcement high

If you want to con someone after sex is best.

[world wide wally]

41. That was my frst choice

[milestogo]

42. Did someone say Warren-Harris? Or Biden-Warren?

[uponit7771]

58. +1

[bloom]

59. This person would like to see Warren / Harris n/t

[somaticexperiencing]

46. I love a Biden - Harris ticket!!!!

[sellitman]

47. We have so many great choices

This would be a power House.

[honest.abe]

49. Works for me!

[Freddie]

52. I love this ticket

A winning combination!

[Pachamama]

53. Now this is what I am talking about.....

Harris/Biden or Biden/Harris.....

As much as I want Harris/Biden I realize that in order to win and the things that will need to be done, we need experience (Biden) and we need a woman (Harris but Biden too) and we need to have the black vote (Biden and Harris) and we need the blue collar working class whites (Biden for sure) and we need someone with Foreign Policy experience (Biden) and we need someone with legal experience and ability to debate and take on issues and not back down (Both Harris and Biden).

I see it as a tie for me when choosing between the two. But I think Biden/Harris is the winning ticket. Both coasts and Biden could win Texas.

All the other candidates will continue to do good for their states and possibly be great cabinet members or SCOTUS members.

[njhoneybadger]

54. I like it

[Merlot]

55. There is no evidence Biden will pick any woman for VP

should he get the nomination. My guess is he won't.

[Martin Eden]

57. To me, it's looking like the first primaries are still 9+ months away

But I DO like that photo.

[johnnyrocket]

60. Let's try Harris/Biden. No term limits for vice-president. 16 years of VP Biden.
