Kamala Harris

[berni_mccoy]

She speaks just before Biden’s acceptance speech. I think that the DNC speaker schedule gives away the VP pick.

I’ll admit I was pretty sure it was Rice. Either way I’m happy with the choice.

[RandySF]

1. It would be a diversion, also.

[NurseJackie]

22. That's my thought as well. Last minute switch-ups and changes happen all the time.

Whatever they're publishing now is a guideline that's likely to change.

[JI7]

2. Based on many other things also it looks like Harris

At this point I would be surprised if it was anyone but her.

[LSparkle]

3. Kamala

Doesn’t the #1 want his #2 to be someone who aspired to that herself?! If she thought she could win, he can believe that at least SHE thinks she’d be ready on Day 1.

4. VP slot is Wednesday Night

This is looking like Rice.

[StarfishSaver]

16. The schedule doesn't tell us anything about the VP selection

[kimbutgar]

5. Sadly if it's Rice it will be Benghazi Benghazi beneghazi

She would be a great pick but Kamala could kick some ass more than Rice could.

[Autumn]

6. No matter who it is it will be something. Because the republicans will go after someone or lie about

them is no reason to not chose the best one for the job.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

9. You don't think they are going to hit Benghazi with Biden

You remember, the VP during the Benghazi deal.

It's just like how so many said it couldn't be Sanders because then all we would hear is that the Dem nominee is a socialist. Spoilers: Biden is now a socialist that is going to get rid of god. The R's have no shame and they will do shitty things regardless. We need the best person and not the one that we think they will go after the least.

[Autumn]

14. They will hit Biden and ANYONE he picks with everything under the sun. Just like the bullshit

with his son. But the Republicans!!! is nothing more than an excuse.

[malaise]

10. Benghazi versus 200,000+ dead in the US

That should be easy

[Hortensis]

11. Kimbut, this would be a really bad time for the Second Coming

also because these people would swiftboat Jesus. In fact, some of their clever agents probably have the frameworks for a series of fake scandals about "the False Jesus" all worked up -- just in case.

[kimbutgar]

20. Ha ha good one!

You’re right Jesus could return and mf45 world call him the anti christ !

Everything up is now down in right wing cult repuke party

[2naSalit]

23. I don't think Harris can kick ass

better than Rice. I think Susan Rice will be it. I hope it will be.

[Music Man]

7. Don't read anything into it.

It's just a schedule, one they can change whenever. Also, Harris was a major presidential candidate and is a big figure in the party. It would be strange if she weren't included on the schedule.

Also, they wouldn't just give it away like this. They control these announcements so closely that they're not about to show their cards through the DNC speaker schedule.

[StarfishSaver]

17. Thank you

The Biden people know what they're doing. they're not going to keep everything close to the vest as well as they have and then slip up by putting something in the convention schedule that gives the game away before they're ready.

The schedule means nothing when it comes to who the VP pick is.

[berni_mccoy]

25. Ok.

[Music Man]

28. Yeah, what I said still stands.

Kamala speaking on Thursday didn't tell us anything. VPs speak on the second-to-last night traditionally. Not sure what point you're trying to make and what you find so funny.

[berni_mccoy]

29. Lol ok

[Music Man]

31. I think the fact that you can't answer the question with anything other than "LOL, OK"

reveals everything.

Done with this discussion.

[berni_mccoy]

32. I think the fact that you were wrong

Says everything necessary about your rebuttal of my original point.

[Music Man]

33. I never said it wasn't Harris

Just that the DNC speaking schedule was not indicative of that. I don't see how you can't understand that.

OK, now I'm *really* done

[berni_mccoy]

34. I also never said it was Harris

I said I think it is based on that. Your assertion was that I was wrong. I could have been. But I never claimed to predict it.

[ucrdem]

8. I was thinking it meant the opposite

that she wasn't getting VP, but was still getting a plum spot as a consolation prize. But you could be right too.

[Happyhippychick]

12. I was thinking the same thing, won't be her

[NCjack]

13. If she is getting the nod, then I expect that she would speak after Biden.

[StarfishSaver]

18. Biden was listed as a speaker earlier on the evening ahead of the VP nom in 2008

When he was named the nominee, the schedule was revised.

[StarfishSaver]

15. No, it doesn't

First of all, the schedule changes after the VP nominee is chosen.

Also, if you look at the schedule, the VP pick TBD speaks on Wednesday evening, the night before Biden speaks.

In 2008, the preliminary DNC schedule had Biden speaking earlier in the night before the VP acceptance speech. That, of course, changed after he became the nominee.

This preliminary schedule tells us nothing about the VP pick.

[berni_mccoy]

24. Come again?

[StarfishSaver]

26. It doesn't

Kamala Harris being slotted to speak on Thursday night did not tell us she would be his VP pick. It also didn't indicate she wouldn't be. In other words, as I said, it told us nothing.

Now that Harris is his pick, she will be moved out of that slot and given the Wednesday night speaking slot where, as the VP designe, she will accept the nomination.

Not sure why any of that cracks you up, but whatever ...

[berni_mccoy]

27. Lol

[Baclava]

19. Aren't there others on this supposed "list" left off too?

[R B Garr]

21. Our household Ben Franklin close agrees that the best pick is:

HARRIS

[roamer65]

30. Susan Rice will be SoS.
