Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumWho wants to play mix and match.
Just for giggles, I thought it would be fun to take some of our candidates and match them with somebody that would make for a great ticket.
Heres a few I came up with.
You will note that all my choices have 1male/1female. I feel thats important this year.
Bernie/Warren
Biden/Harris
Harris/Buttigieg
Buttigieg/Abrams
Warren/Beto
Beto/Klobuchar
Klobuchar/Castro

He would make a great team with Harris but Im not sure about both candidates being from the West Coast.

(6,228 posts)believe Warren would run as VP with anyone. She would be better to stay in the Senate.

(6,228 posts)is that Warren would never run with BS. I truly believe that Biden/Harris would be a formidable ticket. When foreign countries, our allies, are begging Biden to run, what does that tell you?

(1,157 posts)every time there was a 1 male/1 female on the ticket in the general, it resulted in a loss:
2016 (Clinton/Kaine)
2008 (McCain/Palin)
1984 (Mondale/Ferraro)
But maybe 2020 is the year, particularly considering the results of 2018...

Charisma and likability have to be the priority. Trump's approval rating likely won't rise too far. Somewhere in the 45 range on 538 is likely his ceiling. That's high enough to win if he can knock our nominee down to sub 50. But if our nominee is strong like Beto's 52-42 favorable rating in the 2018 Texas exit polling, Trump likely cannot pull it out.

(12,165 posts)America had a taste of Stacey Abrams through her well-received Democratic SOTU response and via national media during her campaign.
In Georgia, we experienced her strategy, energy, brilliance and approach first-hand, and felt hope that we would win the governorship. While we didnt win governor, we did make strong gains in local races. And dont forget that we were able to flip Tom Prices district to Lucy McBath. Abrams inspired an army of volunteers.

(1,532 posts)if our candidate is white/black/brown/red/yellow/purple/magenta/cyan ... nor do I care about the gender, religion, sexual orientation or any other superficial characteristics.
The only criterion is who will beat Trump and do it with the least amount of doubt. All our candidates are competent and will make excellent executives.

(714 posts)Although, I don't think the VP choice can lift up a ticket but, it sure can drag it down like Gore/Lieberman and McCain/Palin.

I'm pretty tired of automatically putting the woman in the VP slot.. unless they are both women.

(2,343 posts)A red or purple state. I'd look at one of the women governors first. Maybe there's a major city female mayor, too.
I just dont think we can afford to take of of the current Senators.
My goal would be for two candidates with considerable executive experience (e.g. governor, VP, mayor of major city, etc).
Of Democratic candidtes, I'm only conidering, Biden, Buttigieg, Inslee, Hickenlooper, Castro, and Harris (AG of Ca qualifies as exec experience),
