They didnt want a black man, they used the KGB to make sure we couldnt have a woman, wanna see heads explode?
Give em a BLACK WOMAN as president
Isn't she also Indian American?
Sorry if I would take some PLEASURE in seeing deplorables heads explode.
You see her merit will never be considered by anyone on the right and by MANY on the far left, so talking about her merit in context of those people is a waste of time.
Of course she is highly qualified or will be by that time. Not as qualified as the last woman to run, but give her time.

(62,448 posts)quite impressive. I have been keeping an eye on her for several years now - ever since she told the voting machine companies to give us (California) your code or get out.

except for
1. The 3 Dems (Coons, Shaheen, Schatz) on the Senate Ethics committee, who refused comment
2. Bob Menendez, who was at the time himself under federal ethics investigation and refused comment
And
3. Joe Manchin, who was the ONLY Democratic senator who said Franken should not resign

(1,461 posts)Not saying he is my favourite VP, but hell yes, I would be super happy with those 2.
One huge potential downside is if Manchin wins Senate in 2018, we lose his seat to a Rethug, as WV has a Repug Gov

(8,685 posts)I appreciate Manchin voting with us the vast majority of the time but he has positions that go against core principles of the Democratic Party.

(5,275 posts)Biden is just too old, it is time to turn the page with newer blood. How about Gavin Newsome as VP. That would be a formidable, energetic, progressive team.
But....we need to not just focus on that, we need to fight to the end in all races, from a President To County Commissioner. We need to take our country back to truth, Justice, and real progressive populism.
Time to reclaim our Nation!
