In reply to the discussion: Who are your top 3 choices for VP and why? [View all]CTyankee
(63,889 posts)7. My three: Tammy Duckworth, Susan Rice, Karen Bass of GA.
Their only possible drawbacks (AFAIK):
Duckworth: citizenship questions
Rice: Benghazi
Bass: Fidel Castro
OK, stop eye-rolling, I know, I know, their silly, stupid even.
But here is a more in-depth look: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/31/us/politics/joseph-biden-vice-president.html
None of these concerns are serious but the repukes know how to make ugly mountains over less than molehills. Still...
Benghazi has the most recent relevance, if at all.
Does Castro have any relevance, even to ordinary repubs at ALL?
The citizenship issue could hang us up, but I don't think would be persuasive. However, it could be dragged out a long time.
