    Did you watch the 2008 debates?

    Palin beat Biden in the debate, when Biden still Had his memory.

    PENCE: "When I was selected as Vice President, I got down on my knees and gave thanks to God".

    HARRIS: "Yeah....I'm not going there....again."

    What, Plugs thinks he needs her to win CA? She's exactly the kind of radical the Democratic party has become, but who won't appeal to normal America.

    Tulsi Gabbard would have guaranteed Biden wins.

    She has the right to remain skanky.

    A 51/49 split in a field of 5 is terrible numbers. Trump did way better in the 2016 primaries.

    I think what Bide did was to observe the first rule in picking a VP, do no harm. So now Biden can win California by 4 million votes instead of 3. That doesn't help him. She also doesn't help him in the midwest or the rust belt. New England was already his. Harris doesn't sway Hispanics to Biden's side either as in Arizona and Texas as a Senator Masto would have done.

    But right now I don't think Biden needed someone to get him to 270, he has that at the moment. He needed someone who wouldn't jeopardize his chances getting to 270 which Harris doesn't. Biden is up by 6 in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan according to the latest RCP averages. He has a 4 point lead in Florida and a 2 point lead in both Arizona and North Carolina. All states Trump won in 2016. He just as to hang on to those leads and he waltzes. That may be easier said than done. But time will tell. Harris will do fine although I don't see her as a big help. Although Harris may be able to get out the black vote in Cleveland and the like in Ohio and also turn that state blue. Time will tell.

    But for me, neither a help nor a hindrance.

    US presidential elections hang on Florida and Ohio.
    A Republican basically has to win both.

    Chuck and Diane were both nice looking back in their youth (during the Civil War), although Chuck is giving off a bit of creepy vibe..

    McConnell? No chance...

    Biden picked a center left black woman of immense intellect.
    Yes it was the safe pick... among many good choices

    It’s the consolation prize. Obama gave it to Clinton to shut her up and keep her out of the country as much as possible.

    Based on her early exit from the primaries neither did anyone else.

    Mike Pompeo(my personal feelings about the guy aside) has far more foreign policy expertise than Warren. I have more foreign policy expertise than Warren.

    Trump is not a God... but yes, he only hires those that think he is, and praise him constantly as if he is, Trump has a very fragile ego

    Uh... she easily qualified for the 5 debates she participated in... I mean, do you actually REMEMBER the list of candidates??

    Debate 1 - Polling 11% - Rank 5
    Debate 2 - Polling 17.7% - Rank 4

    Site doesn't have the Polling for Debates 3-5, but I don't think there was any doubt about her qualifying.
