Who would be on your "Dream Ticket" for 2020?

This is going to be such an interesting presidential race! The crop of quality Democrat candidates is an embarrassment of riches. Anyone one of them would make a good president, far and away above the the mudslinger you have now.
So who would make up your dream team?

Mine:

Harris / Booker

Or

Warren/ Kennedy

Or

Klobuchar / Castro

I can't make a choice ! I like them all and have respect for them. You guys all have a tough choice to make - it looks to be at this point anyways. I'm sure things will clarify and time goes on. But you sure have the best of the best to pick from , so count yourselves lucky. The "good guys" are on the horizon to fix this.

And we need his statesmanship, but not sure everyone agrees with me.

Harris is my first choice.

With the guy as POTUS. I'm sorry, but that's how I feel maximizes our chances at this point.

I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE a female POTUS, but 2020 ... it's just so important, man. And don't tell me about how Hillary won in 2016. She's literally THE BEST known female pol in the USA, and practically THE MOST qualified person to ever run for the office. She's not just any woman.

I'd prefer any of our guys/potential guys (Biden/Booker/Castro/Beto) and any of our Women except Gabbard (Warren/Harris/Klobuchar) as VP.

The only one I don't think is a great idea is Booker/Harris. Yes I'm saying it, I think it's better if one is Caucasian, and it'd probably be best if one of the two is not known as 'very liberal'. PLEASE don't think that's me saying "I want a Caucasian", cause I don't GAF. I'd love two Senegalese-American Lesbians as P/VP ... if they could win.

I'd also really like to see some successful Democratic GOVERNORS get in the race.

They'll get my vote over Trump. My worry about this election is that it's not going to be fun at all. It will be stressful 24/7 until election day. Every election we say this is the most important election in history, but this really is the most important election. Our democracy is on the line.

simply put, the only way to actually be Trump is to have two people who have, to be blunt, very vocal opinions and a blunt way to express them. If we put in some polite, clean-cut type, we're going get shredded by the media. We need someone who frankly whenever Trump tries to dump a gaffe into the mental mainstream, will counter right back with something once or, nastier but also true.

Yes, it is pretty obvious I like Biden. It does say DREAM so I figure I should be safe from getting yelled at.

I know this will more than likely never be a choice.
