he wouldn't get chosen if Kamala wins the nom.

Joe Biden has already been an excellent VP under President Obama.

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

I don't think he would be the SoS, unless the position is different than foreither HRC or Kerry karynnj Jun 2019 #69

Harris won't win the states we need. Thus, sadly Trump will be picking people for another four years Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #97

Yes. Can we stop putting men in the top seats gldstwmn Jun 2019 #72

If Pete falters, my next 2 choices by far, in order, are Harris and Warren Celerity Jun 2019 #83

Veep selections have little to do with qualifications or relationships... TreasonousBastard Jun 2019 #14

Modern VPs get actual jobs to do. Gore, Cheney and Biden were all pretty busy. marylandblue Jun 2019 #25

This is true, but just adds more complication to the selection process. TreasonousBastard Jun 2019 #34

Yes that's true, but it makes a Harris pick less likely. marylandblue Jun 2019 #35

Yup. That's the way they think when picking a Veep. And since I don't have the data... TreasonousBastard Jun 2019 #37
