I'm still on the fence but that ticket, in my opinion, has the best chance to beat tRump at this time.

(1,810 posts)The only reason I hedge on that at all is because I can see someone picking Castro. I still don't think so.
I'm also not positive our field has fully formed yet. If Biden comes back in the polls and Warren, Harris, and Biden are at around 20% or less, look for a big name to jump in late. Really late.
The only person I think I have a really good pick for is Harris. I think a Harris/Crowley ticket would be great.

And pardon my ignorance, but who is Crowley?

(22 posts)There have been many ambitious VPs. Just cause one is ambitious doesn't mean one can't be loyal. Also, a VP candidate is usually one who is called on to go on the attack and fight. And we all know Harris can take it to someone.
We are in a primary right now. Sure, Harris is upstaging and taking it to Biden right now, as she should. But if Biden can win the nomination, all that changes as we move into the general election. Harris would be a smart pick for Biden and would be very loyal to him.
And yes, there are others who would be good picks for Biden too.

(8,144 posts)Biden, I simply would not trust her character. Further, there really are better choices.

(22 posts)Harris simply challenged him on his OWN segregationists comments and record. She raised valid concerns. And Biden didn't know how to respond. Goodness, he even fell back on a states' rights defense.
Harris clearly stated that she didn't believe Biden was a racist. And if Biden (and his diehard supporters) can't deal with a polticial ally and friend challenging him, how in the world are they going to deal with Trump?
Harris is running in a primary against Biden. She wants the nomination just as much as Biden and has every right to challenge Biden as she did. And being challenged will only make Biden stronger if he ends up the nominee.
This is politics. And Biden knows this. I have no doubt that Harris will be high on his list for VP if he can win the nomination. Especially after what he saw from her in the debate. He knows she is a fighter.

(8,144 posts)the willful misinterpretation both Harris and Booker spread around and that news headlines took up.
In any case, if Biden is the nominee he will have some really strong people to select from.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
Victory_Minded
(22 posts)He commented on working with segregationists. He essentially bragged about it and used it as an example of the "civility" he wants to return this nation too. He chose to make the remarks about segregationists.. No one forced him too.
And Harris was right to challenge him on those comments. No one is misrepresenting what Biden said or what his record is.
But I do agree that Biden will have strong people to choose from as would Harris or Warren or Sanders. If it is Biden though, Harris will be in the top 3.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
emmaverybo
(8,144 posts)different, and more sinister, than mentioning working with two segregationists.
But it seems you do get that he did not make racist remarks.
We simply disagree about whether or not her attack was transparent,
In any case,I think its best if the prez and VP are allies of sorts and I dont foresee that chemistry
in a Biden-Harris match up.
.
Certainly, we might be talking about Harris choosing a VP.

Hell, many of his delegates who booed John Lewis did not. They are not democrats but members of a cult of personality.
Love the 15% rule.
A huge majority of his supporters did and will vote for the Democratic candidate again. Dont worry about the others. They are unreachable

(31,261 posts)When I look at a two person ticket, one of my expectations is the second person will follow the first and have an administration of their own. A ticket with one person being 78 years old and the other being around 70 years old would be sort of a hard sell, IMO. That is why I think Harris, Castro, Booker, Gabbard are likely better positioned to be the number two if they don't win number one. If Harris wins the nomination, then Klobuchar, Gabbard and O'Rouke become the best vice presidential options, IMO.
A ticket that can be viewed as having two people of the same political bent would likely have issue, as would one that don't have racial, ethnic and gender balance. Maybe some see that as an uninformed statement, but IMO, that is the world that we live in today.

(2,406 posts)However, Biden will be 78 on inauguration day, while Warren will be 71. It's not impossible to sell that ticket anyway -- after all, Trump will be 74 -- but I don't think either Biden or Warren would take the handicap. If either one is the nominee, they'll go for someone in their 40's or 50's.

(22 posts)Harris/Buttigieg would be a strong forward-looking ticket. I'd also love to see a debate between Buttigieg and Pence. Would be a great chance for Buttigieg to challenge the hold Republicans think they have on religious/faith voters.
Also, Harris/Castro would be a good ticket too.

I'm just not sure about Warren at the top of the ticket. I like her and would definitely support her if she is the nominee, but I'm just not sure how she would matchup against Trump in the general.
