'A dream ticket': Black lawmakers pitch Biden-Harris to beat Trump

[calimary]

31. That's not a bad ticket. I'm leaning toward that, myself.

Looks like Biden, for his appeal to the “working man,” and Harris (or Warren) as running mate , to give us women what we longed for, achieved legitimately, and had stolen from us in 2016.

We may have to get a foot in the door with a woman Vice President first, so the rest of the nation can ease into the idea. It would help our fellow voters get used to the idea of a realistic female running mate, even if it’s not the BIG prize. At least not yet.

Hey, personally, I’d rather have a woman as chief executive, flat-out, accept-no-substitutes, right NOW. We’re into Year Three of President Hillary Clinton, as far as I’m concerned, because I regard her as the rightful and legitimate winner in 2016, and she (and all the rest of us) have been robbed by the Orange Cheater and his Merry Band of Russians. But if we have to go through second-in-command first, in order to position ourselves for the topy prize, then so be it. And if that’s what it takes to get this poor morally faltering country more comfortable or at least neutral toward a woman Commander-in-Chief, then okay. Make it so. I’ll gladly take it. I just want us to get there. We’ve knocked down the barriers to an African-American President. Now we have to clear the hurdles in the way of a woman President. And those blocking a gay President. And eventually a Latino/Latina, a President from the indigenous community that was here before anybody else arrived, and other embodiments of our melting pot status.

Seems to me it might be a shrewd way to help America to get comfy with the idea of a woman on the ticket.
