Could Susan Rice be Biden's running mate?

[Jeebo]

Is she a natural-born U.S. citizen? I don't know. Why is she not on any lists for potential V.P. picks?

1. She could be, born in 1964 in Washington DC per Wiki ... I like her! (nt)

[Trumpocalypse]

2. I believe she is

But would she be a good choice? She’s never run for office before and she gives the GOP an excuse to bring up Benghazi again.

[Wounded Bear]

3. I have to imagine she would be somewhere in the administration...

[Wellstone ruled]

4. No.

[Cicada]

5. She was born in Washington DC

She would be about as qualified as a human can be. I would be thrilled. She may be insufficiently phony to be a good politician. She has a disturbing tendency to tell the truth.

[Jarqui]

6. She would obliterate Mike Pence in a debate

She knows her stuff

I'm not sure she's the best candidate but she is a very capable woman.

[NewJeffCT]

7. I think she would be a very good choice

really smart person and knows national security and foreign policy.

If not VP, then she'd be a great Secretary of State.

My biggest issue is that she's never run for office at any level, so I'm not sure how she would do over the course of several months of campaigning

8. No, Benghazi Benghazi Benghazi. It was always bullshit but why look for trouble.

[Jeebo]

9. OK, you're right.

I think she would be a GREAT vice president, but not a wise choice for a VP candidate, for the reason you mention. But I'll be rooting for either her or Fiona Hill for secretary of state in the Biden administration.

17. I agree.

[Raine]

16. EXACTLY my first thought

we don't need more ”scandal” added to the campaign.

[Demsrule86]

18. We need a VP like Ceaser's wife...above reproach.

[LakeArenal]

10. I've put her on my list several times here on DU.

[dajoki]

11. I thought about her already...

and I like her and think she would be a good vp.

12. She is the daughter of a late, very successful American investment banker.

I don't know who her mom is, but her dad was a born citizen of the USA. The things that may work against her is Benghazi (yes, repughs will run to play her statements in the early hours of that), and she is massively wealthy, having inherited hundreds of millions of dollars from her dad (I believe that she was an only child and her mom died young, if I remember what I read about her). When she was in government, she was the richest person in the Federal government, that is how rich she is.

[Celerity]

13. I think you have the wrong person, she is wealthy (30 to 50m USD) but nowhere near the richest in

Federal government. She was the 5th richest in the Obama executive branch according to

https://ballotpedia.org/Susan_Rice

According to The Washington Post, inheritances from Rice's family and her husband's family, "as well as her own investments, are chiefly responsible for her $20 million-plus net worth

Darrell Issa, John Kerry, John Delaney, Pelosi, Feinstein, Jared Polis, Mark Warner, Hillary Clinton, Penny Pritzker (multi billionaire), etc were all worth far more.

14. Thanks. I could have gotten it mixed up. I read that she was the richest. nt

[Celerity]

15. she isn't BUT she sure as hell is not hurting for money, lolol, I actually would love to see her

get the nod, but risk-averse Biden may have the Benghazi's and not want to deal with it.

I see so many say Secretary of State for her, but unless we take back the Senate by at least 51 or 52, that is so not happening. McTurtle will NEVER give her a vote if he is still the leader. I hate that fucker almost as much as Rump himself. Then Ivanka, Jared, Barr, and the two berk bros, Gym Jordan and that fuckstick Gaetz. Many others too, most all Rethugs are bellends.

[honest.abe]

19. Yes.

I am sure she is on the short list. I and others have mentioned her several times on this board as good choice for VP.
