I am happy and RELIEVED it is Kamala. If this has been fait accompli since she dropped out, them they have done a masterful job of turning this into a great media event and built the anticipation.

[dalton99a]

1. Excellent choice!

[SiliconValley_Dem]

4. lol

let's guess who it is, what day he'll announce, how he will announce, etc

[Renew Deal]

39. lol

[LexVegas]

2. Thanks. I was wondering when someone would start a thread. nt

[SiliconValley_Dem]

5. yes...I saw absolutely no mention of VP topic here

so I thought I'd start the first.

😂

[Mosby]

3. I hear it might be rice.

[WheelWalker]

6. Rice would be nice. n/t

[Yavin4]

14. It's Condoleezza Rice

Expectations subverted.

[NRaleighLiberal]

23. I really like Basmati, myself

then, there is Orzo, but that's a pasta, not a rice.

[malaise]

47. I just put some on the stove

[NRaleighLiberal]

50. that takes the starch out of our discussion!!!

[malaise]

51. Bwaaaaaaaaah

DUzy

[SiliconValley_Dem]

9. Steak or chicken?

I'll just have the Rice

[Mosby]

24. I don't do rice, bad carbs.

[NRaleighLiberal]

25. brown Basmati, or the dark inky purple Forbidden rice in our household

[Laelth]

27. I'll take the Bass, please. n/t

-Laelth

[Ilsa]

45. Jasmine Rice?

She's a PhD or something, right?

[lapfog_1]

7. whoever he picks she will be great.

[LSparkle]

8. He should step on the presser st 5:30 ...

KAMALA — the one candidate Orange Anus hasn’t assigned a nickname.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

10. Orange anus is somewhat afraid of black women

[stopbush]

15. Big Kamala fan, but I hope she gets the AG job. She would have no problem

going after tRump for his crimes.

[NRaleighLiberal]

11. is this the thread to discuss the thread to discuss the choice?

[SiliconValley_Dem]

19. it can be. feel free 😎

[Historic NY]

12. Whomever it is is getting Secret Service at the present moment

black suburban should be in or nearby.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

16. heh. yep. maybe they've started protection for the top 2

[stopbush]

13. How soon - in minutes - after the announcement before the media starts

ripping apart his choice?

Doesn’t really matter who it is, does it? It’s what the media does to D candidates.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

17. nanoseconds

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. Much concern trolling will happen

[stopbush]

20. Get ready for the "this could backfire" bullshit.

[GreenPartyVoter]

21. Yep

[AleksS]

30. And uncountable numbers of:

"Some Democrats not Happy With VP Pick," or "Not Everyone Happy With Biden Pick for VP."

Any bets on the over/under for number of stories of that ilk?

[stopbush]

35. Yep. Even if his choice is the media's consensus as the best possible choice

he could have made, they will frame it as “the safe choice,” and - therefore - disappointing to X% of Ds.

[Ilsa]

46. it's already started with "Could Biden

make a bad decision?"

Geez, loo-eeze.

[marybourg]

22. Especially if they're women

[Budi]

26. I'm just ready to steamroll over Trump & Pence right thru to AM on Nov 4th

Whomever Joe chooses, it's his decision.
It's going to be President Biden's White House afterall.

And, he's had some damn great leaders to choose from.

#💙JustVoteBlueFFS

[TheCowsCameHome]

28. FYI, I have respectfully declined.

That narrows the field somewhat.

[SoonerPride]

29. I am donating thru DU as soon anyone is announced.

ANYONE gets a vote of hell yes and some money thrown their way.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

52. great idea. I'll second of that

[mountain grammy]

31. Big Stacey fan here 💙

but anyone else Wii have my full support and vote.

Can't wait to put up my Biden/Whoever sign!

[samnsara]

42. y'know she keeps popping up in my mind too!

[Baclava]

32. Congratulations Imminent!

[grantcart]

33. Prepare for 100 insane tweets from WH

[SiliconValley_Dem]

55. looking forward to them! they keep the conversation on Biden

Trump is already pissed he's facing the most formidable opponent of the Dem primary--now he's going to gripe about everything.

[Vinca]

34. There's something on HuffPo about it being Kamala, but I can't confirm it anywhere.

[nolabear]

38. They better not know. I paid good money to get the text!

Of course I’ve paid good money a few times just because Spanky pissed me off yet again!

[stopbush]

36. Just now on MSNBC, Brian Williams asks Eddie Glaub, "could Biden make a bad decision?"

Right on cue.

[Budi]

41. Well Brian, they're ALL going to he 'bad' when media starts hurling their drama shit.

No Dem VP will be spared!!


Well, except for the Russians, Dotard & Mike the pants. They're untouchable.

[musicblind]

37. I'm hoping for Kamala, but I'll be happy with any of the top choices.

Good luck Joe!

[nolabear]

40. It's nice to feel some excited anticipation. We need to keep that energy up!

They’re going to try everything to make us depressed and hopeless. We need to do everything we can to rally like mad.

[Budi]

43. Yes. Completely agree.

Keep the faith! November restarts this grand Nation.

[Demsrule86]

44. Kick still waiting.

[Budi]

48. Anbody get an early text yet?

Somewhere, someone's life has just been changed forever.
Congrats, Best Wishes & we are proud to stand by your side thru it all.

💙💕👜🍃

[SiliconValley_Dem]

53. it has to be today--hoping for around 5pm eastern

[Budi]

54. Same here. Wipe Trump off every screen.

This is the event of the day!!

[malaise]

49. Biden can pick one of my feral cats

ByeDon!

[Budi]

61. LOL..& that's pretty much the truth!

I love our November team already & I have no idea who'll be standing by Joe's side.

I secretly hod on to Michele, tho far fetched as it may be.

Trump may as well just hand the WH front door keys to Joe Biden & Michele Obama today & spare us all the traditional protocol bs.

If wishes were fishes... 😍

[triron]

56. One of my sister's said she got a text from Biden that it is Susan Rice..

[nolabear]

59. If so why didn't I get one? I donated.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

60. really??

[SiliconValley_Dem]

57. not BASS--officially

[SiliconValley_Dem]

58. not Whitmer--per Dems

[Zeus69]

62. Harris at 80 cents vs 19 cents for Rice (PredictIt)

Big recent shift.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

63. i would like her..but am ok with Rice

I think Warren and Abrams are non starters

[Wednesdays]

64. Unofficial threads starting, saying it's Harris. nt

[hamsterjill]

65. Okay, my last chance to gripe.

Edited to add: Congratulations to Senator Harris. I will support you with everything I’ve got.

==================


Honestly, I was a jubilant Hillary supporter but I thought the choice of Tim Kaine was a bad one. He had no fire, no pizazz. Definitely a smart guy, but I just felt he didn’t fit Hillary.

I feel the same way about Kamala Harris in that I don’t think she will compliment Biden. Kamala probably has a little too much fire.

I am hoping for Susan Rice.

Now, as I said, this is my last gripe. Whoever is chosen will be the one I support with every fiber of my being. No strife in the party. No division. Unity. Complete unity.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

66. KAMALA is the Choice!!!!

yes, I'm sure Bob Barr is not thrilled

[budkin]

67. It's officially KAMALA!

Just got the text from Joe!

[dalton99a]

68. Excellent choice, indeed.

[634-5789]

69. Tammy, Tammy, Tammy

Tammy Duckworth is a take-no-bullshit kinda person, and would make a great VP. Doubtful she will get it but that's our choice here.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

70. sorry--maybe she will get cabinet position if Biden wins this

[634-5789]

74. Maybe Veteran's affairs?

[mvd]

71. She was my 2nd choice after Warren so am pretty happy

Anxious to get to work to get Biden/Harris elected!

[SiliconValley_Dem]

72. yes!!!!!

[Sunsky]

73. Awesome

Excellent choice

[honest.abe]

75. Fantastic!

I knew she was the one.
