yahoo source--An idea floated by advisers of Joe Biden to designate Stacey Abrams of Georgia as his running mate before the primaries was dismissed Wednesday by Abrams herself.

According to multiple reports last week, the former vice president, who would be 78 on Election Day, might try to win over a younger and more diverse group of voters by forming a ticket with Abrams, who is 45, an African-American woman and former Democratic leader in the Georgia Legislature who won national attention in her spirited race for governor last year. According to Axios, Biden’s advisers were “debating the idea of packaging his presidential campaign announcement with a pledge to choose Stacey Abrams as his vice president.”

1. I'd love that ticket but I'm glad she squashed the idea, too.

2. Good. He needs her more than she needs him.

6. That's sort of true.

She doesn’t need him to be a senator or governor, and he doesn’t need her to be president. Neither of them has any real need for the other politically.

3. Abrams has denied they even talked about this.

There is another thread on this page where you can listen to her denying this. Then she talks about what they did talk about and she said anything else is pure speculation by someone else.

I believe Abrams and don’t think she is lying. You can hear her own words about it. I believe her.

4. 90% of this fantasy was a hit job on Biden,

suggesting he was desperate and couldn’t run on his own because of his age. Even suggesting he was considering promising to only serve one term.

But it’s only a shame the scoundrels chose to use her if she doesn’t come out of it the better for having her name spread further nationally.

So go, Stacey.

5. The entire premise was kooky.

7. Did he ask her?

8. I wonder if he was trying to make up for his horrible treatment of Anita Hill and used Stacey. n/t

9. And thats where all these "dream tickets" end up, those up on the stage wont settle for second place

Politicians dont collaborate, they pick those below them for running mates
