    Rice is simply a liar and unlike Kamala, not a demagogue. So she'd have some baggage but not alot.

    If I were a Trump supporter, I would be breathing a sigh of relief he went with her instead of Rice. His campaign is looking more like an SNL skit than a serious bid for the presidency.

    Rice has never held an elected office, and throwing someone without any campaign experience to this level of exposure would be risky and it would backfire. Moreover, Harris has presidential ambitions and she can take the baton in 2024 far better than Rice can, because I suspect Biden will not run in 2024 due to his age, and she's far more presidential material that Rice is, and tons of political experience. Harris has proven she can draw large crowds. She's half Asian and half black, immigrant parents, she represents 'diversity' and to democrats, that's important. She's far more the logical choice over Rice.

    As for 'controversy' I hardly see that as in issue when their opponent is Donald Trump.

    She called Biden a racist and then accepts the VP slot from said racist after he repeatedly says racist things. Authentic? No. Opportunist? Bigly.

    Harris: Joe Biden, you support segregation. I was that little girl"
    Biden: "If you don't vote for me you in ain't black"
    Harris: "I love that man of mine".

    Thank you for your kind thoughts my mello friend. Being involved in law enforcement is not as popular today as it was when she was being "tough on crime"

    Normally I might agree-but Biden is putting a lot of focus on his VP.

    That said-she should not be the primary focus and that also risks a distraction or appearing "hard on women".

    She can 'draw large crowds'. I guess in her universe, thankfully I'm not a resident. ROFL

    This is all Kabuki theater for democrats.

    Just like their primary isn't really a primary.

    I don't believe Trump is going to win November. He's been making too many missteps.
    President Joe Biden.
    VP Kamala Harris.

    Get used to it, folks. :aww:

    She left before a single primary vote was cast, so your statement seems a little.... I don't know... ridiculous??

    I don't think Rice would have been a much better pick. Trump could hammer her on the middle east.

    Go with it. Forget what Tulsi did to her about that.

    That's a nice picture of the future leaders of this country... My wife thinks Kamala is attractive, but she married me, so her opinions on looks are highly suspect...

    Godspeed Joe and Kamala...

    Kamala's problem is that she is so clearly inauthentic. She faked a southern accent in Atlanta ala hillary and tried to be folksy in Iowa and it was cringe worthy. Tulsi Gabbard absolutely wrecked her in the debates.

    Thanks democrats for another Trump win.

    The DNC selects the candidate, the votes are immaterial.

    Think about that, this woman is so loathed and hated in this country she didn't make it that far. This is a terrible pick for Biden and an opportunity for Trump.

    I semi agree... If your plan is 12 years of D leadership (4 Biden/8 VP), this is the way to go. I still think Rice would have been a safer pick if Joe thought this was going to be a close election, then 2024 can be up for grabs, while the R's run somebody to the far right of Hitler/Trump like Josh Hawley or Tom Cotton.

    Her likeability rating was in the single digits.
