    Yes, and she's seen as a Clinton loyalist and an Obama loyalist, both of whom turn off a certain a segment of the population. Biden obviously is tied to Obama, and his favorables are actually not too good--but he's at least about even in approval/disapproval. Hillary Clinton was way underwater. I'm not sure if Rice would reduce the ticket's favorables, but she seems like the more volatile choice while not necessarily being better than either Abrams or Harris.

    She's so much more competent than I ever thought...I was impressed by her when I actually heard her interviewed..she's as qualified as anybody to step up...Harris will be the pick though

    He seems to think it's working out pretty well. The fake media and the Deep State don't think it's going well. So it depends on whom you find more credible.

    Biden will pick Hillary to be his VP. She's been on a publicity tour in Europe. Trying to repair her image to the world. If that goes well she will do the same in the US.

    It seems to me that Stacy Abrams really doesn't have enough experience, especially given Joe's age.

    Dems have thought up more ways to lose a race than republicans have thought how to cheat to win one.

    Agreed, neither Georgia's governor nor Atlanta's mayor are experienced enough...gotta believe it will either be Kamala Harris or Val Demings...Harris seems the most likely pick but Demings could help Biden flip Florida, which could be huge.

    True. This isn't Biden's race to win, it's Trump's to lose. Biden isn't exciting anyone at all. The one thing that he has over Hillary is that he isn't as hated as she is.

    Biden needs to keep his foot out of his mouth and let Trump end Trump's race for re-election.

    Edit: And, that is not a show of support for Biden. He is still a piss poor corporate owned candidate.

    Pretty sure she's interested. She explicitly said she'd accept if asked.

    My understanding is that Abrams is openly campaigning for the job. Which is a tad bit unseemly and has supposedly rankled some of the power players involved in the pick. But who really knows,,,,,,,,

    Klobuchar took herself out of the race today to make room for a black candidate. Truth was she was already out. I guess she knew and was just trying to make it look as if she bowed out.

    The thing that Hillary had going for her was that a ton of women and feminists wanted to see the first female president. That was the "exciting part" of her, even though she was a bad candidate. Rock them pussy hats and pant suits.

    Biden is not exciting at all. His main qualities is:

    1. He's not Trump
    2. He may choose a black woman as his VP

    Not sure if that will be enough to get regular people to go out and vote. Maybe it will, people DO hate trump and have probably been miserable as fuck the last 4 years because Trump was President and don't want to live that again.

    She's not the top of of ticket, though. Kind of a cheap way for the first female president to not be elected into her position. That was the whole allure of Hillary and really the only thing she had going for her.
