Biden's VP will be black, and probably a woman.

Like Stacey Abrams?

Honestly, Biden is less in need of a black VP as is Sanders or the other candidates. But he may well go that way.

 

[Jaskalas]

He seems more polished as a speaker than Biden. But so are some of the other candidates.

They all seemed to have issues with public speaking. Though, for 4 of them it's a matter of being 70+ years old....

I always wonder why they say "suspend" instead of "end," like they mean. I know it's a euphemism, but you're not fooling anyone, folks -- it's not like you're going to come back a few weeks later.

those that have tried to jump back in in the past don't do too well.

If Bernie actually wants to win, he should pick a moderate as VP, such as Buttegieg or Klobuchar.

I've heard that Harris is in the running for the VP position for Biden.

 

[Moonbeam]

That would be the conventional wisdom. But this is Bernie Sanders. He's too much of an ideologue to pick a moderate.

God forbid we get a candidate who stands for something.

God forbid we get a candidate who can actually win.

We cannot honestly say who would win if we stopped chasing Republican votes and instead focused on our own voter turnout.

If 2008, the ACA, and 2010 are any indication. Compromise is the surest path to defeat.

Fortunately, come November, assuming Sanders gets the nomination, we'll find out who's right and who's wrong. I very much hope you're correct but I doubt you are. One reason the turnout argument may fail is that some dependable dem voters are moderate and may not turn out for Sanders.

That's not nice.
I liked Pete. Seems like a very level headed fellow.

trudat.

lol. Doesn't that just say it all. Bloomberg/Pete would make a great Republican ticket.

Served in the military. Understands pressure. Understands not bowing to the 2% and instead going for the majority.... I honestly wish he was more near the front-runner.

In-fact, I have zero clue why he dropped vs. what is remaining.

His military service is an absolute joke, the Wall Street Journal, of all places, exposed what a total fraud it is. Pete is one of the most deeply cynical and unlikeable people in politics today.

 

[Blackjack200]

I don't like Turner as a VP pick. He's better off with Stacey Abrams or, for that matter, almost anyone more moderate than himself.

Warren would be a good choice for Biden.

What's wrong with Nina Turner?

hahahhaaaaaaaaa............you obviously are very biased against....

 

[JEDIYoda]

What's wrong with Nina Turner?

What`s right about Turner?

 

[Blackjack200]

hahahhaaaaaaaaa............you obviously are very biased against....

And the Wall Street Journal?

 

[Blackjack200]

What`s right about Turner?

She is a long time progressive Democrat and she spent the last 4 years fighting for the Sanders platform.

 

[pcgeek11]

He won't be vp. No way another white guy is on the ticket.

I would expect a cabinet or other high level position tho.

Then he takes that experience and gravitas to some other high elected office.

What does white have to do with it?

Race should not be a factor, unless you're racist.

 

[UberNeuman]

White has white have to do with it?

lol.

 

[pcgeek11]

lol.

LOL indeed.

 

[UberNeuman]

LOL indeed.

You are what you are, which is clear to all.

I like Pete but always thought he was a bit before his time.
Pete had a JFK-ish quality about him.
Pete had better try for a governor or Senator first THEN try for a Whitehouse run later on. After all, Pete has a lot of years before him.
AND.... it could have been the simple issue of $$$.
Money may have been Pete's problem. And after Super Tuesday $$$ will be a big problem for more of them, not only Pete.
Not everyone is a billionaire or has a rich daddy.

Trump is right about one thing, and we all know it is true, that the DNC is stacking the deck to defeat Burnie Sanders and hand us a real loser like Joe Biden.
People speak of how under Trump the republicans have their heads up their ass. Well, the DNC has its own head vs ass issue when it comes to Bernie Sanders. Possibly more of a head vs ass issue than the republicans head vs ass issue.
WE SHALL SEE.....
Should Bernie do very well in the upcoming weeks, the DNC will declare all our war on Bernie. The DNC will absolutely want to squash Bernie Sanders BEFORE the convention and rid themselves of ANY possible disruption at the convention.

As far as Pepe goes, if this actually was an issue with Blacks refusing to get on board with Pete, especially if Pete got the nomination, then I say to them damn you!
If Blacks can be so damn homophobic, and that is exactly what this is, then forget about the black vote altogether and let them re-elect a second termed Donald Trump. And good luck with THAT for four more years.

 

[UberNeuman]

stuff.

Just stop or fall into a pit of acid.

 

[pcgeek11]

You are what you are, which is clear to all.

We are what we are....

We are what we are....

And I hope sometime you find solace for your soul. However, as long you and your kin seek to ruin others' lives from empty, worthless spite this battle never.

Never. ends.
