So who would you rather have?

We really do not know who Joe will pick as his running mate, but here's something for discussion.

Lets say he has a choice between-

1) Kamala Harris
2) Amy Klobuchar

Here's the kicker....the one that is not chosen as VP will be the Attorney General.

My question is how would you like to see this shake out and why?

I'm torn...both would make excellent VPs and both would make excellent AGs....I personally feel that Sen. Harris would relentlessly go after the orange one, his family and all his minions. But so would Sen. Klobuchar.

Whoever wins is Biden's VP, and when the winner is the prez nominee, she picks the other one as her VP.

I don’t know who that is but it’s not Klobuchar and Harris.

Its going to be a very tight race there this election. tRump is putting a ton of money in there too. She will also help with Iowa

It hasn’t voted for a Republican since 1972. All statewide elected officials are Democrats. Klobuchar came in 5th in Iowa (which has 6 votes) so I’d rather a VP who could help win Florida with 29 votes. Plus Klobuchar is not liked by African Americans. She is a terrible choice if we want to win the election.

improving people’s lives.

If anyone deserves it, it’s trump. But going after him for stuff that is mostly political will just impede needed changes. A landslide victory over trump and repudiation of him, will leave him and his family devastated.

I’m fine with any of the VP names that seem to be under consideration.

6. I Love All This Talk About Going After Drumpf, Et Al....

But it's not going to happen.

It never happens. We sit here and debate it, the talking heads on TV talk about it, but it won't happen.

I'd like to be wrong, but I fully expect Drumpf and his minions will live their remaining days in peace and luxury somewhere, and will never see the inside of a prison.

9. Diversity is the Democratic Party's strength and it should be reflected by the ticket.

An all-white ticket doesn't work, especially since black voters are the reason Biden is the nominee.
