as a running mate ??
Just thinking,has to be someone out side the current box.
Knowing this will get much flack,thought to put it out there anyway Ideas welcome

[dem4decades]

1. Maybe there's a reason Stacey Abrams won't run for Senate we don't know about?

[elleng]

5. THANK YOU! Thought of her immediately, and

for almost ANY white/male Dem candidate's VP!

[dem4decades]

8. I wonder if a Biden/Abrams ticket could win Georgia?

[elleng]

9. Sure as hell SHOULD, as Georgia was stolen from her once already,

they know her and MANY like her.

[TreasonousBastard]

2. Impossible to tell, but past history shows it would be someone we never thought about...

or even heard about.

[Clash City Rocker]

3. Assuming he gets the nomination, a woman would be smart

A woman of color, who’s more progressive than Biden, would be smarter.

There’s a photo of the woman I would recommend at the bottom of my post.

[ritapria]

4. Julian Castro ?

Seriously, Joe will choose between Kamala Harris , Stacey Abrams, Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar …..He has to pick a women and it would make sense for him to pick a much younger women of color …...I think he will bury the hatchet and choose Kamala - unless she attacks him again in a future debate …...

[musicman65]

13. All good ideas

time will tell but a woman of colour seems the best bet,,for now

[calguy]

31. I Kamala would be a good choice

The way she was focusing on trump attacks during the debate made me think she was already auditioning for the job.

[LakeArenal]

6. Katie Porter

[floppyboo]

22. Katie Porter! Rising Star for sure!

[enid602]

7. Kamala

Kamala. They can do a good cop bad cop thing.

[mainstreetonce]

10. Kamela. Amy or Stacey

But maybe Liz?

[nsd]

11. Harris

I would guess this order of likelihood:

1. Harris
2. Klobuchar
3. Warren

I don’t see Abrams as being in the mix.

[Sneederbunk]

28. Warren too valuable to waste on VP.

[calguy]

32. With a GOP governor in Mass

We cannot afford to see her seat given to a republican appointee.

[Bettie]

12. A middle of the road white

man.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

19. So it's a Biden/Biden ticket?

Is that even possible?

[Garrett78]

14. He won't be making that choice.

[floppyboo]

23. Agree.

Biden has a very powerful team behind his bid. Look at his fundraising.
And a team that coaches him to stay out of the public eye unless supervised? Um...

[Skya Rhen]

15. He's said, repeatedly, that there are a lot of qualified women "out there" who would make a good

choice. I strongly feel that it will be a black woman that hasn’t even been mentioned on this thread. I have two names in mind and am convinced that it could be one of them.

Both of these women have been making strategic appearances on CNN, over the last few months. I got the feeling that these interviews were encouraged by the campaign as these women are very rarely seen on national TV and both of them are very loyal to Biden - the timing and connection are too much of a coincidence for me.

The way that I see it is if someone is openly saying to the public that she would be honored to be somebody’s VP, it is likely that she has no back channel to the campaign and is not seriously being considered as one on the short list...

[Mme. Defarge]

16. Klobuchar.

[Thekaspervote]

17. Susan Rice would be an excellent choice as well. Amy K, solid from the MW

[floppyboo]

24. Amy would be my bet if history teaches us anything. Kaine with lady parts.

[gulliver]

43. She would be a great choice.

The woman is brilliant.

[Blue_true]

18. I am beginning to feel more and more that Senator Warren will be our nominee.

I believe either She or Biden would consider the same people.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

20. I hope they aren't considering the same people?

Biden is a moderate Dem and Warren is a progressive. I would hope they would pick someone that is the other from what they are.

[Blue_true]

40. That typically automatically happens.

Warren will likely pick a left person that is more toward the center than she is. Biden would likely pick the same person because that person would be to the left of him.

[Pachamama]

21. A minority woman

I can think of many and he will choose a great one

[LincolnRossiter]

25. Likely a minority. Even more likely a minority woman not named Kamala Harris.

Personally I think he should go for Andrew Gillem or Susan Rice. I don’t think Stacy Abrams wants the job.

[at140]

26. I recommend Michelle O.....for sure fire win!

[Funtatlaguy]

29. Yep, her or Oprah equals LANDSLIDE

[Sneederbunk]

27. I think Kamala Harris would cover several bases.

[jrthin]

30. I think Joe and Beto would make a nice team.

[calguy]

34. Sorry, but just can't see Beto on any national ticket.

He's shown me nothing to suggest he's anywhere near to being presidential material.

[onetexan]

38. maybe not Presidential material..yet...but VICE presidential material, YES!

a Joe/Beto ticket can turn TX blue. Winning TX means winning the presidency

[Satch59]

33. Abrams would be a perfect choice...

Checks off all the political advantages (woman/black/younger/southern) but she’s smart as can be and extremely likable. I honestly think the likability factor is important in this election. We had the best possible candidate regarding qualifications/experience/intelligence in Hillary but her likability hurt her. I LOVED her but she could never shake her negatives. Plus the Russians for sure helped but she had some missteps. Biden has the likability baked in and already he’s being defended at any backlash. I do so wish he could clean up his gaffes and be sharper. Abrams could be a sharp balance for him and future candidate herself.

My take anyway...

[morningglory]

35. How about Tim Kaine (sarcasm)?

Or is it Jim Kaine?

[elocs]

36. Presumptuous are we. n/t

[BluesRunTheGame]

37. He'll pick a boring centrist.

Since the Reagan years the Democratic Party nominee has always chosen a centrist or right wing Democrat. My guess is Amy Klobuchar.

[5starlib]

39. I think it'll be a black woman

I just don't know who.

[NYMinute]

41. Beto

Geographical balance, youth and charisma .. plus the chance of delivering TX where Trump is very unpopular even among republicans.

[zackymilly]

42. Corn Pop?
