Do it and you got the perfect winning combination. We get a powerful woman for 8 years hopefully and get Beto experience to run after her terms are up.
Pipedream but that's my hope.

(13,856 posts)I love Biden, but am really afraid his age could prove to be a detriment at the top of the ticket. You could certainly refute any 'lack of experience' argument against Harris with the trusted VP veteran on the ticket.

(13,856 posts)He is not typical of the people that serve in Washington. If a candidate asked him to take the VP slot I bet he would do it.
Every President in my lifetime has sworn that their VP would be different, and would have real power and authority.
Only two have - Biden and Cheney, the latter because his Prez didn't know what the hell he was doing.

(268 posts)It's early, but I like what I'm hearing and seeing. I'd be fine with Harris/Booker, too, or Harris/Brown.

He has the experience, reputation and "gravitas" that Beto does not as yet, especially among those Obama supporters we lost in 2016.

(4,443 posts)I proposed this back in December!! I'm very happy to see her declare her candidacy, and to do so in such a successful and exciting fashion!
On edit: Hell, I proposed this way back in early November!

(10,848 posts)I like Beto, but he needs more experience.
Put him in as a cabinet secretary or something when Kamala wins. Or, he can run for Senate in 2020 to prove himself.
Sherrod Brown would be much better. He knows how to win in the midwest. We'd sweep the rust belt.

(10,150 posts)He connects to people, he only lost by 2 and in 2020? Cornyn is harder to beat because he isn't Cruz. Cruz is hated and they still preferred him over a democrat. I like Sherrod but we need that senate seat in Ohio. Can't lose that.
