    I think it's a pipedream. I personally think that although she's light years ahead of Trump she's not really qualified to be our President.
    With the withdrawal of Klobuchar I'm going with Stacey Abrams. I still see Kamala Harris as being the best candidate for Attorney General. I'd like to see Amy Klobuchar somewhere in the cabinet.

    I listened to a Stacy Abrams interview and found her to be really bright and impressive...I'd actually like her as VP....they may go with a black VP with the last name Time....so the bumper sticker would say vote for Biden-Time!

    Kamala is out there on TV a lot right now. Saw her on Cobert last night. Seems like she is getting a test run. Warren and Val Demmings are not nearly as visible right now. I have said all along it will be Kamala and I think she would be a fantastic choice.

    I don't think Michelle Obama. Susan Rice, I still see as a Sec of State, she has no experience campaigning. Maybe Harris.

    Harris was the first to drop out and support Biden so I'm pretty sure it'll be her. After hearing Stacy Abrams I had to say I think she's an impressive person and really, really bright.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Susan Rice also is the type of person who could galvanize conservatives to vote against--from what I can tell, conservatives hate her with a passion. I think Abrams or Harris would be great picks. Not sure Abrams is interested, though.

    I honestly think Rice would make a good secretary of state, Harris a good Attorney General and Abrams a good VP..Joe should stack his cabinet with strong women in important positions.

    She would be the best possible pick other than say Oprah.

    Michelle has said she dosen't want to be VP because being in the White House was tough on her family. But, the current social upheaval and the BLM move movement might change her mind...maybe...probably not.

    Biden already said if she wanted to run he would pick her immediately.

    It will probably be Harris, though I think she would be better as attorney general.

    Abrams is interested. Not sure Joe is really vetting her though. I think she said or alluded not long ago in a tv interview that the Biden team hadn't reached out to her.

    i think her lack of experience in prior governance at the federal level will preclude her from VP. her voters rights efforts and her taking it to the national stage may well groom her for campaigns and election/appointment in the near future IMHO.

    Oprah has no experience in government.

    Stacy Abrams hasn't won a big race.

    If you're going to put Biden in the White House you better have someone who can step in if the worst happens.

    Trump had no experience

    Oprah is the most powerful black woman in America and she is uber intelligent. She would be able to step in. You get a tax break, you get a tax break, everyone gets a tax break!

    Abrams not sure if she has the experience, but again neither did Trump

    I would have liked Klobuchar but that is not happening now.

    Warren would be good too

    But, it will be Harris
