Dec 2019

she is a female - I agree
- she is a minority - true but she does not have minority support
- she is intelligent and articulate - I sort of agree
- she is a senator - not sure this is a good thing - Obama was the first senator elected since ?
- she was DA at local level - Pretty much why she does not have minority support
- she was a AG of the state of California - Again, pretty much why she does not have minority support

Do not get me wrong. I like Harris. I supported her out of the gate but she became to wishy-washy for me. Plus her attacking Biden on race pretty much sealed her fate.

I think Biden goes after Stacey Abram which would be a great choice. I know he mentioned her before. Really any nominee Stacey Abram would be a great choice.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Sen. Coons, comfirmin Joe would serve 2 terms w/ the proviso "if necessary," is Biden's opponent?! InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #89

Joe Biden told Senator Coons he would "serve two terms if necessary," the Democrat from Delaware... demmiblue Dec 2019 #42

"If necessary?" What? If you win 1 term, it's obviously necessary. Garrett78 Dec 2019 #44

You would think so... but, apparently, Joe has other ideas. Not sure what he's thinkin!! InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #88

We think alike... only Bernie's got this, so I hope Biden does the right thing & bows out early. InAbLuEsTaTe Dec 2019 #97

Biden has a history of always doing the right thing...so no worries there. But I hate to see you Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #99
