    Yikes! I thought this thread was about VP’s choices.

    If it were me, I’d want the most competent, independent, and relentless of the lot. Liz Warren. The personification of the Energizer Bunny.

    Absolutely not interested in punk’in the right though any choice probably would.

    He needs someone that would energize the party. He needs specific concrete public policy positions to shore up the base constituencies. Lip service and a show pony won’t do the trick.

    Since a Biden presidency is basically a fantasy anyway, I'd opt for Sonia Sotomayor, just to get her worthless ass off the bench...

    Trump won the last one with a 32% approval.

    After the debates, if the democrats are stupid enough to let Biden get on stage with trump, there will be no more contest. The only question will be how many seats do the republicans win in the house.

    The Keating-Onsight-Melanson poll of likely voters, made available in advance of its release to Colorado Politics, shows Hickenlooper with 54% support to Gardner's 36% in a hypothetical head-to-head contest, with 9% undecided and 1% picking another candidate.

    No, he was behind 3.2% in the polls and lost the popular vote by 2.1%.

    You're not living in the real world.
    They're not likely to pick up seats.

    No wonder Trump is so squirrelly these days.

    That’s not approval. His approval rating is 10 points higher than it was when he won.

    Even a Democrat has to acknowledge Biden’s declining mental state. It’s laughable that you assert I’m not living in the real world when you are pandering that Biden won’t get trounced in the debate.

    The republicans will pick up seats because they come out to vote, they don’t answer polls. Which is why democrats are overpolled in almost every single one of the polls on that list.

    No, his approval was more than 45%. He peaked right at the right time.
    My father and my in-laws had dementia. Over the years I've seen a lot of people with dementia and I think Trump is as likely as Biden to have it.
    I've run political campaigns and I would love a shot at President Clorox.
    A completely absurd claim. The polls leading up to 2016 were only off by 1%, well within the margin of error.
    You don't have a clue about polling.

    If the VP pick must be woman+black, then just pick one. There are more people than the ones on this list that meet those requirements.

    Hell before you do anything know exactly how much you can afford to spend a month on housing and don't forget that has water and electric can easily add another three hundred dollars on top of your house payment. In the end if your total expenditure for housing exceed Half your pay check unless you've got one hell of a pay check keep renting because you won't be able to afford maintenance costs.
