Suggesting people he hates the most ,by just playing with him. Obama , Hillary Comey, and all those he's been attacking and is trying to hurt by abuse of power using Barr , suggesting they could be picked , wink, wink just to get him upset , and replace his propaganda with.

Either will drive him totally batty and I bet generate at least 3-5 separate angry tweets if it's Schiff and up to 10 if it's Pelosi.

It probably wouldn't happen, but this year is so different.

The thought of Klobuchar and Buttigieg joining together as a pre-announced ticket was what I was playing around with. Some DUers made a good point, that they are both from the midwest. But it was just a thought.

They could combine their money and it might assuage the fear that either one of them by themselves couldn't defeat Trump, but that together they could.

Also, this is really a backup plan in case Biden can't regain strength, or he and Elizabeth lose steam.

But it could also help Joe if he announced a VP too. He should do it right away if possible. Super Tuesday is coming up fast.

...because great minds think alike. As an early Harris supporter, I sent her about 10 e-mails suggesting this and other possibilities ( I.e. Getting ADM Jim Stavridis to commit to be her SECDEF, SECSTATE, etc). Crickets. Candidates need something to break them out of the pack and this might do it. Because unless one of them goes on The Arsenio Hall Show and plays the sax, we may be headed towards a brokered convention. That does not help our case in the slightest.

Frankly conventions are fairly bland and such a situation might draw more interest.

Timing is everything.

And a choice will not necessarily be from those who are or were running.

one of them would convince Michelle Obama to become his or her running mate.

tried that last time around. People saw that as arrogant and inopportune as he was one of many still trying to get the nomination. And Carlie Fiorini wasn't liked by many.

If if comes down to a brokered convention, a given candidate's delegates may be "traded away" by one candidate in exchange for the VP slot. If you don't have a VP slot to give away (because you've already announced your VP choice), you walk into the convention with less ammunition, so to speak. No. In this scenario, it makes perfect sense to me why no candidate has yet announced a VP choice. At the convention Joe Biden (just as an example) may have to offer the VP slot to Amy Klobuchar (just as an example) in order to get Klobuchar's delegates and, thereby, secure the nomination. As such, it makes sense for Joe not to announce a VP choice at this time because he may have to trade away that office just to "buy" enough delegates to win.
